I want a SIG preferably 9mm and maybe the 220 in .45 down the road. Any other SIG models better in 9mm? I've never shot a SIG but have always liked them! Just looking for some reviews

I have a p226 enhanced elite, and I love it! Admittedly its the only handgun I own, but i've shot a decent amount of other pistols. This pistol shoots like a dream, and you can tell its well made. I've shot a few thousand rounds through it, and the only issues I've ever had were some stove pipes/fte's on the last round due to me riding the slide release with my thumb (I'm getting better at not doing it, but I don't get as much practice as I would like with any of my firearms).
I love the feel of this pistol. The grips on the enhanced elite model are slimmer than other p226 models, and fits my small hands well. The pistol has a good quality finish, it still looks brand new with exception to the wear on the exterior of the barrel chamber (I'm sure that's not the technical name, but hopefully you can figure out what I'm talking about). I really like the night sights, some of my favorite sights on any of the pistols i've used. The factory trigger is smooth with very little creep, and a fast reset with Sig's SRT trigger. It is a very heavy trigger pull in DA though, I'm still not used to it, but I hardly shoot it in DA.
There are serrations on the front and rear of the slide which is nice if you are looking for that feature. There is a beaver tail (much like a 1911) which I personally like, but I understand its a feature that you either love or hate. There is also a rail on this p226 model. I currently have a surefire x300 attached to the pistol, for things that go "bump in the night". The flashlight is extra snug on the rail, to be honest I had a hell of a hard time even getting it mounted to the pistol. I'm not sure if that's due to sig's machining of the rail or from surefire's manufacturing, or maybe a combination of both.
I'm fairly accurate with this pistol (I use that term loosely as I'm not a good pistol shot), and shoot this pistol more accurately than a lot of other pistols that I've shot. The only other pistols that I shot as good as this one are good quality 1911's, such as my friends STI Trojan.
Hopefully this is of some help, good luck with your pistol shopping!
