What model Sigs are these?
I know by looking at the slide they are "Elite". But are they Enhanced? Does the price seem right?


Well balls.My hosting site is down!

They both seem to have a beaver tail, and the wooden grips seem to extend out at the bottom. Does that help any?


...You, higher mammal. Can you read?
....There's nothing sexier than a well worn, functional Sig!

Nothing is showing up.
The "Enhanced" refers to the E2 grip.
"Elite" is Elite slide with beavertail frame.
"Enhanced Elite" = Elite with the E2 grip, as it comes from factory.

Getting close. The tail is right.......Now the wooden grips seem to flare out a bit, and the finish is stainless

Then, you either have the all Stainless Elite




or the Alloy Stainless Elite.

The grips on the guns you are asking about are aftermarket Nill magwell grips. Not original.

The all Stainless Elite (SSE) is, as the name says, all stainless.

The Alloy Stainless Elite (ASE) has alloy frame made to look like stainless.

If everything is in original configurations, the way to distinguish the SSE from the ASE is looking at the grips. Take a look at the pics I posted above. But, since the grips on your shop's guns are not original, that clue is out.

Next helpful clue, since the ASE frame is alloy, its shade will be slightly different from the slide, even though they try to make it look stainless.

But, the only definite way to tell the difference is go to the shop and have them weigh the guns. An SSE will be heavier, at 40 + oz. The ASE, since it has the alloy frame, will be lighter, around 30 to 32 oz.

Also, take a little magnet with you. If they let you, take off the slide and put the magnet on the end of the frame, away from other parts of the gun that are steel. The magnet will stick to the SSE frame but not the ASE frame.
