This is a two part question.

I own a Sig Sauer P-226 Tactical Operations in .40 S&W, I have been interested in getting some Hogue "Extreme" Aluminum Grips for it.
My 226 takes 15 round .40 S&W Magazines and the factory grips do not have the "flare" on the bottom as seen in the 9mm model. All that being said I wanted to make sure that the "Standard" Hogue aluminum grips would work on my model of P226.

Part 2 of this question is how difficult of an operation is changing out grips?
I haven't ever changed the set of grips on a handgun but from outward appearances it looks as simple as a couple of screws but I thought I would consult the professionals on TFL.

All help is appreciated!
