I want to replace my factory grips with Houge hardwood grips, but they will not clear the mainspring, can I change this out with one from Armorycraft or Grayguns? Any help appreciated, Thanks, Rex

NovaGuy - Congratulations on getting this specific pistol. I know you had previously indicated you were looking at this purchase.

Paging 12131 or Ken from Hogue.

These forum members know a lot about the German P226 LDC models and may be able to help.

As you found out, your LDCII is German and is equipped with the mainspring seat that extends all the way to the bottom and has the screw slot to secure the 2nd gen mag well funnel (if you choose to add it). So, the regular DA/SA Hogue wood grips cannot fit. You have two options.

1- Swap in the GGI or Armory Craft short mainspring seat plus their accompanying strut/spring, or The Sig Armorer Superstrut system, or the SIG NH factory assembly. This will allow the use of the wood grips.

2- Get the Hogue G10 grips for the X5 Allround that will accommodate the current German mainspring setup.

Third option is a Dremel to clearance the grips

Novaguy - Also, if you decide to add the mag funnel (I LOVE mine) you can purchase the extended mag base magazines from Greg Cote LLC, who is a long time forum member and provides the best prices and the FASTEST shipping (1-2 days) that is available. Here is the link for the mags I ordered and use on my German white stainless LDCII.

Again Thank you, I will go with the superstrut and skeleton hammer. GREAT forum. Novaguy

Please come hang out with us as the brain trust on this forum for ANY topic (even non-gun related) cannot be found anywhere else and the folks here are GOOD FOLKS and down to earth with sharing information.

Also, now you will want more SIG pistols (or rifles, optics, or suppressors) and this forum can provide you guided support.

Hope to see more posts from you in the future about any topic. Mark
