I have to admit I just got the gun to use a set of grips I have. Here is the result:

Are those aluminum or G10 grips? Looks good.

I personally think the SIG factory aluminum grips are the most ergonomic grips period. I had them for a P220 and also a P226.

Very nice. I pick mine up tomorrow. Eventually I would like to get some G-10 grip for it.

Guns Midwest has taken the gun off their webpage:



Unfortunately the product FACTORY NEW! Sig Sauer P220R Desert .45ACP 8+1 has been discontinued

Picked mine up today. I feel it is not as unattractive as people make it out to be. A different set of grips will make a world of difference.

Midwest Guns was efficient and timely on shipping the weapon. I can only guess that the reason the pistol is off their web page is that they sold out and no more are available. The price was right!

I actually think it looks a lot better in person than in any photos I've seen. Unfortunately, I'm a terrible photographer with a cheap camera, but here's mine with Hogue G10 Piranha grips.
