Sig sauer grip retexturing

[1SAM]

so i am going to be picking up a sig p220 and a sig p938 soon, and i was wondering if anyone knew if and where i could get the factory grips retextured.

for the P220 i found the attached picture from another cal gunner. he states in his post that he had them retextured by Hogue. does anyone have experience going this route? i like the way the factory grips look on the P220 and i really like how the retexturing looks. i do not want to run aftermarket grips as i do not like how most of them look.

For the P938 i purchased the rosewood model and i love the way the rosewood accents the pistol. However, i have seen more slimmer grips out there like the Hogue G10 Piranha. i was wondering if anyone knows if i could re texture the rosewood grips as well and possibly slim them down?

is Hogue the only one who can do this? is there anyone local in the so cal area that could do this? i do not mind sending out the grips i was just wondering. thanks!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think anything beats the original older sig grips in the late 80's models. That doesn't help for your 938, but you should be able to find one for your 220

is there a difference between the sig thin grips than what comes with the gun from the factory?

Woodgrips are thicker than stock. E2 grips and Aluminum grips are slimmer than factory. For retexturing, I have no clue but be interested to know who can do it.

From what I have been reading (someone please correct me If I'm wrong) the sig factory slim grips do not come factory with the sig p220. I may go this route if I can not find someone to re texture the factory grip panels. How do the e2 grip panels compare to the sig factory slim grips, as far as thinness and comfort/texture?

The grips you posted a picture of are the factory grips that have been re-checkered by Hogue.

The used to offer them on their auction site; they weren't auctioning them off, that is just where they were listed. At one time you could send in your panels to re re-checkered, but the price was the same.

The factory slim grips, if they are still offered, were a little slimmer than the re-checkered grips. The aluminum and G10 grips by Hogue are the slimmest.

The main difference in the E-squared (that is what the factory calls them) grips is that they reduce the reach from the curve of the backstrap to the face of the trigger. The trade off is that they also force you hand lower on the frame because of how they have shaped the curve. I personally prefer my hand higher on the frame

Awesome post! Thanks!

I may just have to go with the factory silm grips. If those don't work out then I guess I'll try the hogue g10.

Thanks!

You want to slim down the grips on a p938? It's already pretty slim as is. I don't know if the wood grips are thicker than the plastic ones that came with my p938, but the latter are only about 3/16" thick. Not a lot of material to remove.

The sig aluminum grips seem to be the most narrow. They also have a nice texture to them that is more aggressive than the stock e2 grips. Noticeably different on my p226 e2 vs p226 dark elite. Only problem is price if them don't come stock. You may want to check tgem. Out. Don't ruin the rosewood with retexturing, their too pretty.

Tim Smith. Let me find his info for you.

Here are pics of his work.

My quick thought is that, if you think you might ever sell this pistol, it would be best to keep the totally stock grips and not alter them at all. If you don't like the way it shoots for you with those stock grips, get yourself some aftermarket grips.

Houge will re texture your grips. It's like 30 bucks or so. If you are getting a resent P220 though, it comes with the slim grips which Houge cannot re texture.

The slim grips have been standard for a number of years now (at least on the 220).

Your best bet honestly is to save the OEM grips and grab a set of G10 grips. They come in a bunch of different textures.

you may want to look at VZ grips for your pistols I have a few different examples on different pistols and they offer excellent purchase.

For the p938, How does the hogue piranha grips compare to the factory wood grips as far as thickness?
