Sig 226 E2 grip conversion kit review

[Fritz265]

My official review is that it sucks a**. Since my 226 is new, I didn't have to replace anything prior so the grip went on in a few minutes. After realizing that it snapped off my trigger bar spring, I got a quick lesson on the use of the "removal" tool to take it off to fix the, now mangled, trigger bar spring. Replaced, then installed more carefully this time.

The grip, being hard plastic, felt low budget. Worse than the stock grips. About 25 rounds later, I confirmed my complete dislike for this cheap garbage and put my Hogue wraparounds back on it.

That was a $46 lesson learned. If anybody is looking an awesome E2 upgrade kit, I sell it cheap.

I was under the impression that you had to send the gun to the factory and some parts had to get adjusted to get a E2 to fit the frame. At least thats what happened to my Sig P226 and I have had no issues.

The kit comes with the parts necessary to make the conversion if you have an older 226. Mine is new so those changes weren't needed but even if so, you can make those changes yourself without having to send to the factory.

Regardless, I'm just not a fan of the grip itself. I didn't like the feel, the quality (or lack thereof). I no likey.
