The Sig Sauer P229 Elite Compact is a highly reliable compact pistol enhanced with Elite series features. It includes ergonomic one-piece grips and builds on the renowned out-of-the-box accuracy of the P229. The Elite Compact model incorporates SIG's Short Reset Trigger (SRT), offering the same safety and smooth double-action/single-action (DA/SA) operation but with a shorter reset for faster trigger response and improved control during rapid firing. The pistol features a beavertail frame and front strap checkering for a secure grip, along with SIGLITE Night Sights for low-light shooting. New for 2024, it comes optics-ready out of the box, providing flexibility for sight upgrades. Notably, this firearm does not come with a manual safety, ensuring a streamlined and responsive shooting experience.
