I know that DAK grips won't work on the DA/SA. What about the reverse? E2, slim grips from other makers, etc. | ||

Yes. Almost all grips should. Several DAK guns had grips with the de-cock lever cutout. I have had multiple DAK pistols and swapped grips around with never an issue, both SIG factory and aftermarket grips.

Thank you, SM. Much appreciated. | |||

My other Sig is a Steyr. |
Houge makes black checkered aluminum grips specifically for DAK models. (they make other DAK grips, but that is the only style I use.) They are like the DA/SA grips without the gap or cutout for the decocker. I've had mine for many years with no issues to speak of. | |||

There are some external differences in the grip panel designs, a decocker groove, etc. From that perspective, the DAK doesn't care whether there's a decocker groove there or not. But there are internal differences inside the grip panels, and as a result not all DAKs accept all grips. Found this out myself a while back. First thing I did with my then-new P226 DAK was to put on P220 Elite grips, very pretty. And - hey-presto - the trigger wouldn't reset after a shot. Turns out the DAK grips hollow out space for a trigger bar geometry that is different, and the standard grips don't. As a result, the standard grip interfered with the trigger bar motion and wouldn't let it move back after a shot. This took a while to diagnose, and the fix was to get the Dremel out and remove some wood from the inside of a grip panel to create the space for the trigger bar to reset. It was not hard but took a bit of thinking to figure out where to remove the material. Sigfreund or some of our DAK experts may be able to tell when/if the DAK design ever changed so that ordinary grip panels allow the gun to function - can't speak to that as all my DAKs are older vintage. | |||
