Grips question on the 228.

I have two 228s and really love them both.... or rather I USED TO have two. My wife has declared that one of them is "hers."

That is fine, but the other one has two of the hogue hard rubber type panels on it. It is fatter, and I really like the feel of the factory polymer hard grips.

So, I got a pair on ebay. Problem is, they don't fit the gun. They dont lay down flat on the top side of the grips, and are not flush at all with the little notch right under the slide (again on either side)

The pistol is a Suisse police gun, made in Germany. It shoots great. I am just wondering if there is something about matching this thing up to grips that I am missing?

Thanks in advance

There have been revisions to Hogue grips over the years. Does it say Revision # or Revision with a Alpha letter on it? Seems like a F version is recent. IIRC.

Here is a Sig Sauer M11 that was a result of a Combat Pistol Program in 1992. The Sig Sauer P228 won the test and became the M11 to be used by many investigative branches of the military. It was chosen because it was lighter and easier to conceal the the standard issue M9.

I pulled out my 228's last night for a quick comparison. The one thing that caught my eye was the flat spot on top of my 2 tone/nickel 228. I will check the box and serial #.
All the photos are from the side-it seems easy to spot a carbon rolled slide from the "top".
Then i pulled out my 229 9mm SAS. It appears to be able to interchange slides with 228. Could this be considered in the lineage of the 228/M11?
Please comment on the mag comparability for ease of reference.
Again , very helpful post for 228.

My first try at posting a photo -- hope it works.

I guess I was smart to turn down $1000 from a shooting buddy who knows I have it. I'm stunned at the purchase price.

I don't know. As long as the buyer is happy with the purchase, it's all good.
Just about 3 years ago, paying $1,900 for a NIB all nickel P228 would be considered insane.
Today? You would be high fiving, if you can get that gun at that price.

Hey 12131, I was trying to identify the case for a P228 I just picked up. Looking at the first photo, and going by the descriptions above, it appears you have the #4 and #5 switched.

If someone has already mentioned this, that's OK, I just wanted to make a post to get this thread back to the first page... where it belongs!
