Grips for P229 Login/Join

I’m looking to upgrade my grips on my 2017 P229. It appears that the E2 grips are either out of stock of discontinued. I’m not a fan of aluminum grips or wood, I’m guessing I’m limited to the G10 grips, anyone have any other recommendations? Or if you have the G10’s what’s your thoughts?


M11-A1, P365XL, P320, Colt Commander, Springfield EMP

I've got Hogue G10's on all my P239, P226 and P229's. Perfection.

I believe they have three texture styles...mine are all checkered. Besides the side panel texture, I think the back strap texture (superb) is even more important. Combine that with skateboard tape on the front and it locks the gun in very nicely under recoil.

The G10 will place your trigger finger slightly closer to the trigger face than factory two grip panels, which is beneficial. If trigger reach is still an issue, get a GrayGuns Intermediate trigger which will place it even closer. The combo solved my problem with the reach. I tried and disliked the E2 grips and the Sig OEM short reach triggers.

I bought mine at Greg Cote. Large variety, good prices and superb customer service.

I have G10's on my 229 and have tried a set piranha grips, but I prefer the G10's. My hand just seems to mold onto the gun and the grips give me a secure grip.


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

Piranha is made of G10. What G10 do you have? Checkered? Chain Link?

Hogue G10 is the only reasonable aftermarket option.

The Sig store just had 229 Legion grips for sale for a measly $179

Just stick with black in whatever pattern you like.
The black and gray ones can be anything but..

I tried dying them and it worked OK.


Wound up wearing the SCI Select grips. Gotta buy the Select to get the grips though, unless they pop up on GB.


I tried the SCI Classic carry grips on my Select and didn't like them.
They would be good for smaller hands though.
I traded them off for a set of solid black Hogue G10, piranha pattern.

Sorry about that. The checkered ones.

Not a 229, but...

Much better pointer for me. I like black, too.
I think you'll like 'em.

My thoughts as well.

I have all three styles and prefer the Piranha over the other two styles. The chain link is very aggressive. With the checkered being in between.

I had a P229 SAS (that CCR refinished) that I went back and forth on with DAK and DA/SA...



I had some Hogue checkered G-10s I bought on the forum for my P229.
Ended up returning them to the seller because he said he never got the payment I mailed him.
He said his employee opened the envelope and it was empty when he saw it.





But anyway;
You stated you don't like wood, but these Nils were the sweetest..





Had Nils on my P239 SAS as well.
Also refinished by CCR...





Both of these guns were sold long ago...

I am not sure if you noticed but Hogue will be having a sale on their grips Black Friday. I have a couple of sets of them, mostly the all rubber type but also a set of polymer and they are a great bargain. I think I am going to get a pair for a 229 or 228/M11 and I don't even have the gun yet. Wink

With the exception of my P225-A1 that came with Checkered, all my Sig's wear Hogue Piranha's. They're great, even for a carry pistol. Just my taste but I much prefer the Piranha's over Checkered. Never had the opportunity to try the Chain Link.
