Hogue Rubber Grip Sig Sauer P220 American Rubber – No Finger Grooves

These grips replaced the E2 grips on a Sig P220. If you are replacing the E2 grips, don’t forget that you will also need to get grip screws and washers. I REALLY like the feel of the Hogue grips and consider them a excellent upgrade to the stock E2 grips.First the pros:- The grips are a bit more hand filling. I have reasonably large hands, so if you have small hands, these grips may not be an upgrade (see note below in the cons about the mag release)- The grips are actually not wider than the low profile E2 grips. I was surprised to find that the max thicknesses of the E2 and the Hogues were identical at 1.260″ … the E2s, however, vary in thickness all the way down to 1.150″ both above and below the midpoint of the grip. The Hogues, in contrast, are pretty much 1.260″ thick from top to bottom.- The Hogues will be MUCH easier to take off for detailed cleaning than the E2 grips- The rubber of the Hogue grips just feels much nicer than the plastic of the E2sCons:- You have to buy grip screws … and they cost almost as much as the grips!- On the Hogues, the grip material is just a tad thicker where it runs up to the magazine release. This makes it just a tad more difficult to actuate that release. If I had smaller hands, it might even make it difficult. This is really the only thing that I don’t like about the grips. It doesn’t seem like it is going to be a big deal, and I will try to remember to update this review when I get a little more time with these grips. But, it does feel different and I suspect that there could be ways you could hold the pistol where the E2 would let you eject a mag and the Hogue would require an adjustment of your grip.

These grips are extremely comfortable and a major improvement over the stock grips in terms of secureness in the hand (plastic vs. rubber). I have average sized “bony” hands, not fleshy. I generally prefer grips that are fuller and have a lot of palm swell and arch in the back. These grips provide exactly what I was looking for. They look good. To me, the grips make the gun more “serious” than the cheap E2 grips, which look good, but are thin and not as grippy as they look.Beware, the grips do not come with screws or washers. If you have an E2 grip, you must purchase the screws. The screws are on Amazon, but they do not come with washers. This is a stupid oversight, the screws without washers will intrude into the magazine well and prevent insertion of the magazine. I went to the hardware store and bought size 10 locking washers. They worked great.
