I know this the 226 but both of my 226 RX's both have the long extractor. If you want to clean the extractor you have to remove the optic to push the pin out.

OP, look again at the pic in your second link. Guarantee you that's photoshopped. The frame belongs to a P227 Carry. Look at the grip profile. And, then, the serial number.

Also has different triggers (std. vs short reach) in the left vs right side photos.
Regardless, there's a pistol I'd like to own for carry. I'm losing my enthusiasm for striker guns and thinking about going for a hammer fired collection only.
Now if only we could get a 229 that weighed as much as a polymer frame tupperware special.

If P229s once had short extractors, when did they stop having them? (In terms of S/N range, if possible?)
Do older P229s with short extractors demand a premium in the used pistol market?

They both work well. I have not had any issues with my short or long extractor Sig's. I have put 10's of thousands of rounds through both styles. It is a personal preference with what ever style you like.

Amen to that.
I see what you mean.
