    Grips...Which Look Best?

    I sold a P226 in order to buy my new Sig Mk25. I kept two pairs of aftermarket grips and here's how they each look on the Mk25.....three images. Which look best?

    First image shows the stock black grips. All business, military.

    Second image shows digital camo. They look better for real than in the picture. Sorta military and not too Hollywood.

    Third image are Sig optional rosewood. All dressed up; Gen. Patton might approve. Not suitable for swimming ashore in Somalia at night.

    I'm with Patton. Go for the Rosewood!

        The real question you should be asking is which one of these makes you look fat..!

          I'm generally a fan of wood grips. And rosewood on a black gun is almost always nice, just like the 3rd pic. So that's where my vote would go.

          Gen. Patton would have had it right. There's a reason he was a general

              Goin against the general consensus, but I like the camo look. Rosewoods come in second, stocks come in far third.

                No question in my mind. Rosewood.

                  The black looks best to me, with the wood grips coming in second.

                    Rosewood for show and stock plastic for the range. Digital camouflage grips have always struck me as probably being very popular with the mall ninja crowd as it's similar to wearing camo BDU pants with a bright red shirt - doesn't actually do anything but draw attention to the fact that the wearer clearly doesn't understand the concept of NOT being seen.

                    If your SIG had a digital camo finish, then the digital camo grips would be nice. Otherwise, I'd pass.

                            I think rosewood looks best on a stainless imo, so I'd go with digital especially on an MK.

                              for the appropriate application, i'd go with the digital. still, i like the black best.
