Well, tonight I got to finally fire my new-to-me Sig P229 Elite Stainless (9mm). I got the gun about a week ago and was dying to try it out. So, today I went to the local range and put 100rds through her. All I can say is, "I made the right choice for me!"

The Sig Sauer P229 Elite comes with the Short Reset Trigger (SRT), which I had not shot before. The first mag required a little getting use to because that second shot comes fast--I believe the SA is 4.5lbs. Once I got used to it, the follow-up shots came pretty easy.

The target I used in the background of these pictures is one from today at 21 ft. Even though I had a couple stragglers, I'm happy with this grouping.

Now I'm ~really~ looking forward to my CPL class in two days.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

The Sig is one of the pistols that is not in my arsenal. Reading stuff like this may cause that to change.
Very nice. Looks like you made a fine choice.

I don't own one but envy the fella who does. :)

That is the one I was dead set on getting, but recently shifted my attention to the P220 Elite Stainless. I will probably always want to have the 229, and the very one you've selected.

Congrats...I think this must be a firearm that could stay in the family for generations...I see no reason why not.

I'm not really a Sig guy, but that is a beautiful pistol. Looks like a tack driver as well. Congrats.

I just got a SIG P229 SAS this year and it has hopped into the EDC slot...in a Milt Sparks VM II no less.

Love the pics, those Elites are gorgeous. I've not shot the SRT, but am itching to try one out.

Nice addition to your collection.

I wasn't specifically looking for a 229 Elite Stainless, but I couldn't pass up the deal. After shooting it, I'm glad I got it. It is so nicely balanced and really fits my average-sized hand (6' 180lbs). Love it.
