And I dont mind a beavertail, im a 1911 fan ater all.

The 229's a wider gun than the 226 or 228 (no matter what grips you have), so if width is a problem, maybe you should at least hold those first to decide.

Night sights and short triggers can be installed on any SIG, even the older ones (I have a short trigger for my 226 that I never use, but I can install it in 5 minutes if I need to). As for the rail, that's your preference. But personally, I think rails look dumb and are useless. And I think flashlights just make the gun front-heavy (especially on a pistol with a barrel as short as the 229's).
