Ok, so I feel really dumb asking this, since apparently I thought I knew what I was buying, but maybe not...
Is the beavertail an option on a regular Sig P229, or only the Elite models?
The reason I ask is that I was comparing a nitron P226 and P229 (both in .40), and ended up going with the P229 because it had adjustable night sights and the beavertail, plus was a little smaller of course. Price difference was only $50.
Now that I'm back home and looking at sigsauer.com, the only P229's with a beavertail and adjustable night sight appears to be the Elites, so it really looks like I'm waiting to pick up an Elite Dark. If that's the case, it should have been a few more $$. Oh well, I guess I'll find out in about 9 days.
So anyway, what ammo is it likely to prefer?
