Sig offering E2 conversion on existing 226/229

Featured Replies

Due to my girlish hands I've been waiting for them to offer this since they announced the E2. I was originally going to burn a permit, but

$99 + 28.95 shipping round trip seems fair enough.

 

Sent my 229 elite out today. The sales rep said right now the custom shop is running 2 week turn-a-round.

 

According to rep. the magazines I currently have will still fit so that is bonus as I was expecting to buy more.

 

Fingers crossed.

Action enhancement package

 

"Action Enhancement Package – Our factory gunsmiths hone and polish critical surfaces to lighten and smooth both the double-action and single-action trigger pulls taking your SIG SAUER to the next level without voiding the factory warranty. (Excludes SP2009, SP2340, SP2022, 226X5, Mosquito, P238, P250 and 1911 models. Improvements are not as pronounced in our DAK trigger system and not generally recommended for DAK's)"

 

I'm having this done as well.

 

Mark, the sales rep, said it would lessen the double action pull by 2 pounds and the single action by a half pound.

how do i go about getting this done?

Do you notice an improvement in the double action in the 226? Is it worth it? The double action in my 226 Equinox is on the heavy side.

Get the gun first and shoot it a little. Get comfortable and then send it in. It's easy. I'll give you the # of my guy, let him know I sent you. He'll take care of the rest. He has been quite generous the last 2 weeks.

The double action pull is noticably smoother. The single action pull on the SRT is nothingl. I haven't shot it yet, but will the first chance I get. I have been just dry firing with snap caps and it's a noticable improvement.

why cant I just have Tony send it in before I pick it up? -it would prob save me a trip down and a 4 hr drive. i can work on a 3rd gun in the mean time.

Chris has got to see this!

Is it what you would consider 2lbs or so lighter though? I'm considering having this package done as well. Definitely going for the E2 setup. I held a P226R Elite E2 in .40 recently and wow, what a nice pistol. This comes w/ the SRT, short trigger and of course, the E2 grip. The E2 grip really changes the ergos of the pistol for the better. Very much reminded of the P30L a fellow member let me shoot. What impressed me also was the Short Trigger and the Short Reset Trigger. Reset was considerably shorter and precise and the Short Trigger seemed like it a gave a wider flatter surface to pull against. With some polishing and lightening this would be a DA/SA trigger/grip setup that could really work for me.

 

For FFL transfers, I've dealt w/ Craig from Police Products in, I think it's Midland Park. Pretty good rates and a nice guy who has some decent police trade in deals.

I have a Sig P226 E2 (factory made, not retrofitted) and I'm quite happy with it. Anyone looking to handle one/shoot one to see if the service might be worth it can drop me a PM, maybe we can work something out.

I just sent my P229 out for this today. They are also giving 30 off on the AEP so I got that, too. I got the E2 and the SRT but kept the standard size trigger.

Bob,

 

good for you. Let me know how you lie it. I think Kristen will really like it because it wil mirror the ergos of the p30l she has.

 

 

 

I put a order in for the kit when it comes available. I would send kristens out, but it just got back. I have her 226 at sig right now and waiting to see about the e2 conversion.

They said 2 weeks. I kept the original trigger because I thought that with the E2 grip it would be enough. The Sig rep agreed. The fine print on the flier (if I read it right) said they were both included for the SRT price. That wasn't the case when I talked to the rep.

The short trigger is an extra price, I will look at the fine print also.

I didn't read it right. I just read it again.

  • 3 weeks later...

I just checked out both the P226 E2 and the P226 Elite Dark. I like the smaller grip of the E2 but I dont know how I feel about the "sandpaper like" feel of the E2 grip. It does feel more secure in my hand but I'm not sure if I can get use to the grip feel. Any real difference if I went with the Elite Dark over the E2?

Please message me if you could help me with my concerns over the grip
