First time Sig buyer - long time pistol owner. Wanting to buy a P229. Tried looking at threads but so many acronyms and abbreviations it's difficult to understand.

Don't know what Legion vs Elite is. Guy selling a Classic Carry, but it says Elite on it.

Seen Legions that don't say anything on them?

Seen threads on here talking about TT variation...don't know what that is.

Are all P229s SA/DA? Or some of them? If it's a mix, is the SA-only trigger better overall? I'm a trigger snob having loved and shot 1911s for most of my years.

Budget is most important, but I'd like to have a rail and would also consider an optics-ready pistol a plus if there are models that have those that don't break the bank. Appreciate the help in advance
Welcome from Texas. The Classic Carry was a special ltd edition made by Sig For a Distributor called Talo/ It had special grips among othere things plus uses 13 round mags in 9MM
