I can't believe my eyes!!!!

Could Sig actually be bringing back the short extractor?!?!?

Could they actually be listening to us?!?!?

Could a SAO model be next?!?!?

I wonder if it has something to do with the optic. Dosen't the long extractor have a pin that runs vertically?

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.

It's a trick. I still don't believe it, until it hits the market.
Freaking major, if this is true.

Nope, look again, below. It's still loooooooong.

I'm so excited about this, I'm already trying to figure out what I can sell to buy one!

Anyone need any kids?!?!?

This is exactly the same stunt they did, when announcing the M11-A1. They had one photoshopped pic showing the short extractor, at the time.

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.

You've changed my excitement to sadness.

Why must you rain on my personal parade?!?

I see what you are talking about now, the whole thing is JUST WRONG! DAMN YOU SIG SAUER!!!!!

Truth hurts, sometimes. Sorry.

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.

I'm right there with you Rustpot.

I'm really trying to like my P320, but it is just missing something.

And my P226 is just too big.

Ironically I LOVE my Shield 9, go figure.

Ok, educate me, please?

What's the deal with short vs. long extractors?

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?

Bottom line: long one is cheaper/easier to make. More money in SIG's pocket.

And the loooong one is fugly.

Amen to that.

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.

I see what you mean.

I have the 229RX 9mm exxhange kit and it has the long extractor.
