even though the sight heights are different for the two calibers from Sig, i never noticed any difference in POI at the 10-yard distance that i normally shot it

From what I've read, it only starts to get noticeable after 20yds, so I'd not notice either for a while

Been wanting a 226 since a year or so ago and was upset that I just could not get to <ahem> grips with the larger frame, the E2 really fitted me well.

Glad to hear about the enjoyable purchase. Have fun with the new pistol!

Just got back from the range, put about 200 rounds through it...LOVE IT! I was shooting priority three's with a hostage(police officer) and a timer. My average draw from my leather holster to first double action shot is 1.55 sec. and three double taps on three separate IDPA targets between 4-5 sec. Not lightning fast by any means but this was my first time shooting it and I used a CC holster. This may be my new go to gun.
