Hogue Grips Which Ones ??

[imperialfish 11]

Im planning on replacing my stock grip for a sig p226. Which grips are better the wrap around or the standard grips ??

[Bill from NJ 0]

imperialfish,

 

Order a few styles/types from them.

 

Try them on the piece, and pick the one you really like the most.

 

Send the others back to the company for refund.

 

I have done this with the grips I use for my S&W N frame Model 22-4 Revolver.

 

Worked for me without any problems.

The 226 is already a handful, being a double-stack gun. The wraparound Hogues usually add bulk to an already fat grip. If you have large hands and can handle the extra bulk, then order what you wish. If you are already maxed-out you'll want just the panels - and even those will be larger than the stock polymer grips.

 

I have Sig Aluminum grips on my P226 - I have average sized hands and these feel the best to me - fat where they need to be fat and slim where they should be - not necessarily the slimmest overall - just the best profile I've found. I understand that the Hogue aluminum or G-10 grips also offer a slimmer profile. There are some neat grip surfaces available on either of those. When finances allow, I intend to pick-up a set of G-10's in the Pirhana texture for my P220. Grips are like holsters - we have a drawerful of ones that just weren't quite right - or is that just me?

 

As you can see, I'm a Hogue fan...

 

 

plus all my magnum revolvers (and my J-frame snubby) wear Hogue rubber grips.

 

Good luck!

 

Adios,

You can do what Bill said and order a whole bunch and when you find a pair you like, keep'em. Then sell the rest here, you'll find someone who wants them.

Effin argh. :doh: My small ass hands can't take the fata** grips. I'd love to shoot it before you put them on so can make my final decision between the 226 and the 92fs.

[imperialfish 11]

ChrisJM981 let me know when you want to meet up. If your free on sunday i might head over.

 

I also had my mind set on the sig and the 92fs. You know what i picked.... I still really like the 92fs it will be part of my collection one day.

 

Next up with be a 1911 if i can find someone too shoot first to see if i like them.

[imperialfish 11]

I cant type today to early in the morning no coffee yet... You might like the 92fs better has a smaller grip frame.

 

Just let me know when your free Ill see if i can meet you there.

I just put the rubber grips from hogue on my 226. I like them much better than the stock ones. Really fills in the hand now and grips nicely. Only issue is they will wear over time and probably need replacing sooner than later

[imperialfish 11]

did you get the ones with finger groves or standard ??

 

Im not a fan of there stock grips.

[bry@n 195]

Finger grooves..

 

If you make your way to shore shot saturday mornings, you can check em out.

[imperialfish 11]

Grips would be cheaper then gas Thanks though

I hve these Hogues on my CZ, and they're very nice. Comfortable and grippy without being too rough or sharp.

I think Matt (our North Zombie Extermination Squad decoy) has a sweet .45. I don't remember what make it is. I'm off on Wednesdays and Thursdays currently. Wednesdays at the BH are crowded due to police re-qualifying. This Sunday they'll be closed for Easter I believe. I'd bang out of work again for the bi-weekly meet-up, but I'm running out of vacation time for the year and it's only April. :roll:

I like the standard. My 0.02, the finger grooves change the feel of the grip too much for me.
