I have my eye on a Sig P229 .40 SAS. Im not crazy about the new E-grips and I have a pair of black

aluminum stock 229 grips that need a gun to go on. Anyone know if I can take the new E-grips off and buy a set of screws from sig and use them on the new E-grip guns?

Yes, you can do that. You just need a set of screws, I have some hogue screws if you need screws.

There are slotted and torqs screws available on SIG's site and other third party sites.

 

There are one or two SIG armorers on this forum to answer better, but my additional question for them would take this in reverse. The E2 kit provides a new decocking lever. Does that need to be changed when converting to the E2 and would a conversion from the E2 need a different decocking lever? And would old grips be compatible with the new style trigger bar spring?

 

And finally, if I have an older P229 and need the new style mainspring for the E2 grip, do I need the new style plastic mainspring seat or is that included in the kit?

Thanks Bryan. No other mods need to be done, just the screws?

I have a bit of a wait left. I only have 13 days in on my permit app. My town takes around 30. This time I asked for 4.

As far as I know, you can keep the new decocker with no issue. The mainspring strutis just curled a little different to make room for the slimmer grip. If you wanna try it out before you do anything, I can give you a set of grip and screws to try out. You may need to swap the strut but it's only a $5-10 part...
