Went to the range today and put another 200rds through my beloved 229 Extreme. The only mod I've done to it is the GGI P-SPIT trigger.
I've owned about 15 Sigs over the years and this 229 Extreme has the smoothest trigger of any one I've ever owned right out of the box. I was shocked. It's better than my 229 Stainless Elite was, my 226 W German, or my MK25 which is definitely my highest round count gun.
Anyways, I've just been so enamored with the Extreme lately, I've been thinking about getting another 229. One with a beaver tail. I know it's controversial but I really liked the beaver tail on my 229 Stainless Elite - I just didn't like the weight. I considered the Scorpion since I really like the G10 grips, but I think I actually want to go with something different. I had the 229 E2 when it was first released and I did really like that grip on the 229 sized guns. I sold the E2 I had because the trigger was just really bad. Could've sent it to Bruce, but I didn't know enough about GGI at the time and wasn't prepared to spend that kind of money on a gun I wasn't happy with already.
Soo, with that said, I think the 229 Enhanced Elite *should* do what I'm looking for. Placed one on layaway. I already have a spare P-SPIT trigger in the safe to be installed immediately.
I'm pretty excited to get this one in. I'm actually considering letting my HK 45 go to help pay it off more quickly.
Anyone else here have the 229 EE? Would love to see some pics and hear how you feel about yours. Thanks!
