This is for owners who care mostly about how the gun looks, or its collectibility, or its sentimental value as a family heirloom. Next, I’ll talk about options for those choosing new grips for the P226 based primarily on looks. While this article primarily addresses grips for the SIG Sauer P226, the same principles apply to any of the SIG P-Series pistols… or any other firearm by any other manufacturer, for that matter.įirst, I’ll briefly discuss a few grip compatibility issues to keep in mind while shopping for new grips, so you don’t end up spending money on grips that won’t work with your gun. This article will try to address all of those factors, and give you some tips along to way to help you select the grips that are right for you.

One of the most common questions is: “Which grips should I put on my SIG Sauer P226 (or P220, P227, P228, P229, etc.)?” The answer, as with most questions about modifications to one’s firearm, is “it depends.” It depends on how you use the gun, what “look” you might be going for, how big your hands are, and ultimately how the grips feel in your hands and how that affects your accuracy. As an admin of the SIG Sauer Fans and SIG Sauer Legion Owners groups on Facebook, I often see many of the same questions asked by new SIG owners.
