Best Rx for the Fever: Buy it - Sig Sauer P229 Elite
First, for those in the Bucks/Montgomery county area, I have to say, that my experience (first time I was there) with Tanner's Sport Center was outstanding. To be honest, I almost hoped they didn't have the P229 Elite , but, their selection is great, they had one, and they beat Cabela's price by approx 10%. So, I think (for now), this completes the collection.

What cal is the 229 in? They are beautiful pieces. One is definitely on my short list. Good luck with the completed collection. As soon as I think I'm satisfied I see something else I have to have.
Happiness is warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot)

The 229 is available in 9mm and .40 S&W. I went with the .40.

Yeah, as far as completion of the collection goes, only time will tell, but at the moment, I feel like I'm done. Yeah . . .

Black Sigs with the wood grips sure are sexy. nice buy.
Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.

Thank you! Notice the two slight tool marks, impressions below the decocking lever on the rosewood grip? That's gonna drive me nuts, so I called Sig Sauer, and they're shipping me out a pair of replacement grips. No hassle at all (other than a bit of hold time). Figures the range is closed today, on the day I have off, but I can't wait to take this out. But, in the hand, the beaver tail, weight, and grip width, make it feel great.

Don't feel bad about the tooling marks. When I bought my 220 Elite I couldn't get that damn tape off the handle. So I slid in an exacto knife sideways to try and turn it up to cut it and I dug into my grips with like an 1/8th in. score.
I was so pissed.
Enjoy the gun. I would like to get a 226 or a 228 and dress it to match my 220.

Congrats. I have 229 Elite and I bought it at Tanners as well. Bought mine about a year ago and still love it.
