The 40 S&W caliber conversion (Two Step Caliber X-Change Kit) is listed on the Sig product page for the "P226 Classic 22" in the accessories section.

I saw that conversion but didn't see an p226 elite being sold in .22lr. That's what prompted my question. It doesn't seem that you can purchase a p226 elite .22lr.

I could be wrong as I am new to this so..

Did you see "Elite" on the slide or was it just on a tag?

The "Classic" is available with the "Elite" beaver tail. Take a look at the 360 view on the product page, it shows the beaver tail version of the Classic.

edit: found an AD on Gun Broker for the Classic that shows the beaver tail also. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=157335215

You know what, I'm not sure. I took for granted that the beaver tail only came on the elite models. They did say it was an elite but they could have assumed like I did. (assume= well you get the idea)

Thanks for the info. I loved firing the p226 and so did my wife. Now it's juts a matter of which one I am gonna get. Any benefit as far as the Elite to say the classic p226 or is it all just bells and whistles?
