Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Short Reset Trigger (SRT) improve shooting performance?
The SIG Short Reset Trigger reduces the distance the trigger must travel forward before resetting for the next shot. Compared to a standard DA/SA reset, the SRT allows for faster follow-up shots and gives the shooter more tactile control during rapid fire — without compromising the safety characteristics of the traditional SIG double-action first shot. It's particularly beneficial in competitive shooting and duty applications where split-second timing matters.
Is the P229 Enhanced Elite a good choice for concealed carry?
Yes. The P229 is a compact-framed pistol with a 3.9" barrel, making it well-suited for concealed carry with the right holster. Its all-metal construction adds some weight compared to polymer-frame alternatives, but many shooters prefer that for reduced felt recoil and a more planted shooting experience. The decocking lever allows for safe hammer-down carry with a long, deliberate DA first pull — a preferred setup for many experienced carriers.
What magazines are compatible with the P229 Enhanced Elite in California?
