Sig P226 - Page 2

My p226 is my favorite gun by far.

Austin HiPowers · March 22, 2015, 08:31 AM

Love my MK25. Excellent gun.

My 1987 West German P226 is a great pistol in many respects, but it is a 9mm and I have moved away from the nine. It now spends most of its time wearing the .22LR converter.

Love is too strong a term for me.

It's very hard to top a P226 as a choice of combat handgun.

dgludwig · March 22, 2015, 01:42 PM

Nope. And my big hand loves the E2 grip.

My P226 is now my EDC.

Nope!

YUP!

I had one back in the '80s, and hated letting it go, to pay some unexpected bills. When I replaced it a couple years ago, I made the mistake of buying the E2 grip. Absolutely hate it. Only about 500 rounds through it, but I can't seem to adapt. It might be easier if I didn't shoot my 220, 229, or even my 239 for a while, but it's just not right for me.

Is there any way to modify the grip on this thing?

Nope.

I am not 100% sure. I know you can convert and older gun to an E2 grip but I am not sure you can go the other way.

People convert older Sigs to the E2 grip by changing out the hammer spring strut & retainer and a few other parts.

I believe I saw a post from another member who changed the E2 grips of his (new) 226 for the older grips (or Hogue), but don't remember what member.

Uncle Malice · March 22, 2015, 08:39 PM

Just to confirm for you guys, yes, any E2 sig will also accept any of the other Sig grips from Factory plastic, to hogue g10 or aluminum, etc.

I changed E2 grip(s) to Hogue, because it fits much better for me. Post # 10 has a picture too.

Slightly Off-Topic, but thanks to the several who have alluded to a grip-frame alteration. Maybe worth a phone call to New Hampshire, Customer Service.
