Update. Grips received and installed on my X5 Tactical. Enjoy.




_______________________________________________

Just saw these walnut grips for the X5, I think they are a good deal. They certainly look like Nill grips but sig branded.

Anyway, I ordered a pair. I’ll let everyone know how they look when they come in.

They're nice

Those look fantastic.

Wish I owned a X5.

Someone is gonna be in trouble when they realize they are selling $119.99 walnut grips for $19.99…

This vendor has been selling these for cheap for some time, now. Definitely good alternative for those who refuse to cut an arm in order to buy the Nills. I remember Nills was quite upset, when SIG chose to go this route.

Like P-220 ——- I just wish I had a pistol they would fit for that price. Those are beautiful on PGT’s pistol….

They’re going to look great on my X5 tactical. I’ll be sure to post pictures!

They were at like $39.99 for the longest time. Also grabbed these:

I wouldn't mind another set to strip and do in black semi-transparent stain.

Just to be sure these fit the currently US made X5 correct ?

I wasn't sure what was on mine and it turns out they are Nills. Were these factory or did they originally come with plastic grips?

Your pistol, X5 competition, shipped with the plastic grips.

The standard L-1s (X5 and X6) shipped with the Factory logo Nills manufactured grips




The P226 X6s shipped with slightly different Nills grips depending on which variation was chosen

Thanks for the tip!
I ordered two sets.

Sometime in the past I stumbled on some OEM TXDPS grips at CDNN Sports for my TXDPS SAO 226 and snagged a set of those also.

That is an amazing price at one eigth the price of Nills.

They have been selling them for under $20 for several years now, I bought mine about 2 years ago, but they arrived with a crack on one side, called CDNN and they sent a new pair, great company to deal with.

OP, thanks for the heads up.
From the CDNN website I found the SKU number SIG1202947.

I did a Google search on that SKU to find other sellers providing more detail what they fit and what they don't fit. Just wanted to add this for anyone looking to buy that may not be totally familiar what they are.

Thanks

OP, those grips look great! My P226 X5 Competition came with cheap-looking plastic grips. I replaced those with Hogue G10 G-Mascus black-gray checkered grips. Very attractive, in their own way (and very practical too).

Those are gorgeous. Very nice compliment to the pistol.

I also got a couple of those a year or two ago when they also had the ones with the round SIG logo. These are on my Tactical X5s.
