SIG Sauer P229 Elite
Best duty-grade sidearm for shooters seeking proven reliability and modern optics.
This is the gold standard for a duty-ready sidearm that finally embraces the modern era with factory-standard optic compatibility. It sacrifices the slim profile of polymer striker-fired pistols for the superior balance and proven reliability of a classic hammer-fired design, making it a heavy-duty choice for those who prioritize shootability over pure concealment.
