Sure, but anyone who does any math or coding on a computer knows E squared is E^2 not E2 in plaintext
Just look at the pics above. E squared.
Nice X400! I think I will be going with the TLR-2s (strobe ftw.)

And the E2 stands for..... Enhanced Ergonomics!
I can't believe we're having this conversation, I must be bored.
that's a great deal! I agree E2 has lots to offer for the price, and I also could care less about beavertail. Got mine from Questar;
I am another tosser between 226 & 229, and the grip on regular 226 I found to be on bulky side thus my preference for 229. The 226 E2 however has been really pleasant to shoot with, almost as if the grip is magnetic that my palm sticks to it.
Nice Sig, on my 226 Elite it says that "frame made in Germany". Just curious if Sig USA started making their frames in Exeter..

Nice E2!!!
I would have liked to shot one before making my final decision, since I didn't get to feel if the SRT was too close or if it was just right, that would be the only benefit for me as I would change the grips to fullsize anyway.
Hey robertf, p229 is an easier swap for you because you have the holster etc already, save a ton of time, effort, and money by getting the same platform

I recently found out the use the same holster, at least with the Serpa Holsters.

Can't complain with that! Like I said Target had them in stock the other day, worth checking out and they are cheaper than Questar!
Serial starting by "UU" are completely made and assembled in the US.
E2 Grips
Hi. Am I to understand that the E2 grips can be replaced with the standard grips? How are the E2 grips mounted? Does the frame have the screw holes to screw on the standard grips? I have been looking at the 229 Enhanced Elite chambered in S&W .40 as an upgrade from my P228. I like the fulll length serrations on the rear of the slide. I'm not too sure that I want to keep the E2 grips and have been trying to find out if I could change out the E2 for some hogue grips, which I presently have on my P228. Also liking the Tactical Ops P226. Thanks.

From what I have read online you can switch the e2 grips for factory grips no problem. The e2 grips simply "slide-onto" the frame and lockinto place that way.
The E2 Polymer Grips are now coming standard on the base 226R-9-B and 226R-9-BSS guns (as well as the 40S&W versions). This is also the case for the 229's from what I remember of our briefing at SHOT.
The "E2" or E Squared model has additional features (SRT for example) over and above the 'base' models.
You may still find a few dealers who have the older model (older grips) still left in stock... but once they have sold off they won't be available, from what we've been told.
Also, SIG continues to refuse to make the SRT upgrade/kit available to ANYONE other than their own custom shop. They did for a short while but stopped. We have repeatedly asked them about this and even though we have SIG Certified Armourers in-house they say that no-one other than their Custom Shop can install these parts on a gun.

I bought a .40 P226 E2 last month.
I bought it for the trigger alone, as the standard P226 grips fit my big hands the best. For my hands, the E2 grip points fairly naturally, though the standard ones are dead on when I "punch out". I also found that the web of my hand wants to ride lower on the E2 grip, and does not naturally end up right at the top when I grab it.
For someone with small to medium hands, it's probably great. But it's not really for me and I knew that before buying - I am going to swap it out with standard grips a planned. That trigger sure is nice though.

I got exact same for Christmas. I love everything about it, especially the grips because I do have small hands.I bought a .40 P226 E2 last month.

But wait, did you hear about the trigger?
LOL gotta love that SRT. I ordered reduced power recoil springs for mine because I reload light.
I've read last week (On Sigforum) that SIGarms actually started to sell the SRT parts to anyone (Not just sig armorers). A few members reported they did order the parts for 226 and 229 (Which are the same anyway...); apparently they changed their policy recently.
Today we contacted SIG again (we do this every month or so) and spoke to them once again about the SRT (Short Reset Trigger) Kits.
I am happy to report that this time they agreed to sell us a quantity of these kits, on the understanding that we only offer them as an "installed" item and that we don't sell them on their own... our in-house certified armorour must do the installation of the parts.
SIG has not yet given us an exact delivery date on this product. Once the parts arrive we will post pricing and details on installation.
