Looks ALL stainless, including the frame?
And you haven't mentioned in what caliber?
Not that that matters much...
Very nice regardless of the details.

Congratulations!

My bad, yes it is the all stainless version including the frame. Noticeably heavier than my 229 Extreme.

It is 9mm. More than likely grabbing a set of aluminum grips for it from the Sig Academy Pro Shop.

Nice wood looks just as good on stainless as does ivory.

That's a beauty, love the beavertail on the Elites. I have the P229R West German model with Crimson Trace grips. I bet she shoots nice? 799 is a great deal too. I've been thinking of getting either the P224 or P239 for CCW use. Sigs are addicting.

I'll see if they have them in the Sig Academy Pro Shop. About 1/2 hour from my house

Just swap out the grips. The darker hogue grips will stand out nicely against the stainless steel and you have to work to make wood grips look bad on a blue steel handgun.

They are beautiful, just a touch too big for my grip. Heading to the Pro Shop this weekend. Will be either aluminum or G10 grips. I suppose I could take the grips off my Extreme and put the E2 grip that was include with the Elite on that gun hmmm....

Quick pic with my Extreme grip on it. Think I'll pick up an extra set of the grips this weekend

Me too, Funny how it happens, you go to the pet store to pick up a bag of dog food and end up coming home with the food plus a German Shepherd....
