Need to purcase a California compliant version which includes these two models. Both models have rails and night sights.

I believe the the EE has the addition of the SRT and the front serrations as well as the beavertail. I do appreciate a nice beaver tail but I'm wonder if for carry it'll just get in the way?

Folks have been carrying the 1911 with beavertail forever with no problems. That said, I personally would not carry a pistol with beavertail. The less things protruding out the better.

You can just buy the SRT and add it separately if it doesn't already have one.

It's funny reading this as I traded into a P229 EE,(California edition), not long ago. I love it and must say it is the most comfortable grip on a Sig I have had. The beaver tail allows me to get a higher grip and feels really good. It also sports an E2 grip and internals, which is an amazing combination. Very smooth and light trigger pull. I have a MK25 I got not long before that and got a really good deal on it as it was also a Cali. model. I added E2 grips to it and the both are quite the pair. Mine did not have the SRT and if you have large hands, like I do, the SRT tends to pinch my finger compared to the standard trigger.

P229 Enel w E2 is a Great firearm. Superb balance an feel. Not a compact gun,, really, barrel length notwithstanding. The beaver tail is great for getting a quick High grip with a draw from the hip. Also pretty heavy. If I can wear a 229 I can wear my 226 Legion. Thinking about a 365 xl , because although the 229 is almost a Perfect gun , I do not use it due to its bulk, and it does not shoot as easily as a 226. Good luck, I don't think you can go wrong
