TO Jon Stein: I imagine you’re aware of this but if not be aware that some of the older models have a different (I think it’s called) trigger release spring) that will have to be replaced before modern grips can be used. It’s not difficult to do – it just needs to be done. See this for reference: http://www.topgunsupply.com/parts-sig-sauer_parts-trigger-bars-springs/

(I’m not advertising for Top Gun Supply but that’s the only place I could quickly find pics of both styles.)

Ratgrips is a thermo polymer that was released at shot show this year, installing it will allow from simple grip enhancement all the way to 100% customization of your grip or other position ergonomics.
all firearm manufactures struggle with ergonomic issues, RatGrips answers 90% of these issues.

I prefer the older 2 piece slides due to their lighter weight. Hopefully the slimmer P229 slide will shave off a few ounces and make the pistol feel more like a 228

I really like the idea of a more “modern grip” friendly sig. As a 229/220 shooter one of the biggest problems is not holding down the slide stop. However I have found for me personally that the thinner grips make it worse. I dont have the problem with the slightly larger 229 using standard grips but I simply cannot shoot the 220 to slidelock with the factory slim grips that came with it. I have been on the hunt for “factory” standard width 220 grips for some time and have had absolutly no luck.

As a reluctant sig owner and shooter(I am simply a suppressor lover who bought a sig because it was available at the time with factory threaded barrel) this could go either way for me. I hope for only success with this new model for sig.

As a HUGE Sigfan myself I am very happy to see these improvements. I will have to give them a closer, more intimate look

Todd-Do you know yet if these grips are interchangable with the older (i.e. grip screw) frames, or if they’re frame-specific?

Also-what about a DAK-specific version (i.e., without the decocker slot)?

Best, Jon

Are they going to fix the accessory rail profile to be true 1913, like they did with the P250?

Ariel — It’s true, some people choose too-small a grip. But it’s easier to make bigger grips for a gun that uses small ones than to make smaller grips for a gun that started out big.

I’m tracking down more specifics about optional grips.

Todd,

will there be different snap-on grip panels to fit different sized hands? Or is it one size fits all design???

It’s a definite plus, especially with the aluminum frames and doing away with the grip screws. Now you don’t have to fuss with stripped out grips screws! Now, I am curious to learn how long it will take them to release the “Rainbow Titanium” version or the “Platinum Elite.” JK
