SIG Pro question about 9mm models

[WhoKnowsWho]

There are two SIG Pro models I am looking at, one is item #2009-9-B priced at 413.99, and the other is item #SP2009-9-B with a price of 586.99

So... other than the cheaper one has one backstrap, 5 oz., and the barrel and OAL are very slightly different, what's the real difference between these models?

I've no idea. Looking at Sig's website, they only list the SP2009-9, some type of special edition, only 300 being made. There's no "B" post-fix or anything like that.

Well, looking at Davidson's descriptions, I'm not sure what the difference is.

When I bought my 40S&W SIG Pro, I could either buy the standard model that came with two grip panels and two magazines and my choice of standard or night sights for $559 (for the standard sights). They also made a Blue Line version that is supposed to be for law enforcement though anyone can buy them. Came in a larger case marked (Law Enforcement) and it only came with one grip panel but three magazines and a cool cleaning kit and wasn't available with night sights. The gun itself also has a reasonably subtle gold crest that said 'Blue Line' on the top of the slide. I paid $449 for mine. Davidson's page says they both come with only two mags though.

Unless you really don't want that crest or unless you really want that other grip panel, it would seem to me to make a bit of sense to go with the Blue Line for $100 less.

Maybe one of them is this:

The "-9" seems to indicate the special.
The slide is stainless, and blackened like the regular model, but it looks like a "brush flats" has been done to it, to remove the blackening, on the higher flats. It looks pretty cool.
I wonder what the contrast sights look like?

There are some differences between the blue line, and the other model, unless there were year/model changes between the time I bought mine, and my friend Josh bought his.
I have a slide stop that extends slightly, it's fairly easy to field strip.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't fall apart or anything.
Now Josh's 2340 has a slide stop that doesn't have a protrusion that you can push out with your fingers.
It has a little dimple "belly button" for lack of a better term that you have to depress with a pen or similar blunt instrument to field strip it.
It's not easy at all, even with a pen. Not even after thousands of rounds. In a bright room with clean hands and a clean floor.
It would annoy me to the point of insanity, thankfully it's not my gun.
Btw, his has the blue line crest, and mine doesn't.

I'm not sure that my SigPro 9mm is the model in question, but it cost about $415 and did not have any interchangeable grips but does have a slide-mounted safety, along with the decocker and other standard Sig details. It is rapidly becoming one of my favorite 9mm pistols, as it has great sights, handles well, and is very accurate. Hope this helps.
