Just got a German P226
Looks like it’s never been shot
Dates to 1995.
Both boxes (cardboard and plastic), target, manual.
The grips are rubber? I took them off and they are marked Uncle Mikes. We’re the originals hard plastic? Every photo I’ve seen look like they are the same rubber ones that are on my gun.

Pretty sure those Uncle Mikes Grips are NOT original...

Factory grips were plastic on 1995 'KF' P226's

UM's checkered rubber grips for the P226 look deceptively similar to the factory plastic grips, online. But no, they are not original to the gun.

Thinking that the rubberized grips that are prevalent around that timeframe were made by Hogue.

Speaking of photos!!! Where are they?

Photos? Not sure how to post.

Uncle Mike's

Those UM rubber grips are nice. Have them on my 1988 P226. Look just like the factory plastic ones and not as fat as the Hogue rubber grips. Too bad they no longer make them.

I don't know why Hogue don't make them thinner. It's clearly doable.

Never understood that either. It’s a no brainer.

I had the Uncle Mikes on a P226 and they provided good grip traction without changing that wonderful profile. I like the Hogues just as well. I had the Hogues on 2 of my early P220 pistols. I like those on a ST P220 better than all other grips.
