Does anybody ever see this Unicorn?

[OmegaTrader]

I've been looking for this over 2 years w/ no avail. It's the only P226 that has the beaver tail grip, second to the Scorpion, that's CA compliant. Does Sig still make this? I have a P229 Elite and would love to get a P226 Elite that looks similar, making them a pair.

It's a dark elite. Not on the roster. I had the 220 version- and got rid of it. The rear sight is a POS- it's adjustable and uses a TINY allen wrench to make adjustments. The dovetail cutout in the slide isn't the sig/XD standard as well. GrayGuns makes a fixed sight replacement.

Look for something else.

Jeeze how many times do you adjust the sight???

I do mine once and never touch it again.

You don't adjust for windage?

I'd just leave the tool in there so I could tweak at will

Not really a unicorn, I don't see it in stock at the moment but I believe it was several months ago.

There is the 226 scorpion or the 229 enhanced elite http://www.riflegear.com/c-85-pistol...*Sort=3*ava=0]

From what I remember from my distributors the Dark Elite was discontinued last year. It isn't even in my distributors catalogs anymore.

I'm not sure about your time frame of several months because I have been actively looking for it during the last 2 years. And RG is the first place that I turn to. I've also scouted all popular online vendors and they all said they were out of stock for a while. I even had my LGS call their distributor, Davidson gallery of guns which is one of the largest gun distributors on the West coast if not the country, to locate one. So far none shows up.

That's probably the case. About 2 weeks ago there was one showed up in the marketplace here, but the seller wanted 1500.

You're probably right, my bad. I'm always looking at 229's, and 226 is of no interest to me, so I likely saw 226 enhanced elite or 229 elite dark and not 226.

Unfortunately you need the "-CA" model so I doubt this helps:

Agreed. I wanted one of these. After looking at the sights, I ended up getting a Tacops and adding Dark Elite grips. The rear sight on the Dark Elite is huge and ugly.

Eddy's in Mountain View said they had one in Stock according to an email.

This is one of the largest online Sig vendors, and I usually go there to drool on their non CA Sigs. Thanks for looking though. Close but no cigar [emoji1].
