I recently purchased a new Sig P225-A1 and like it! The only complaint I have is that the grips are thicker than I believe they need to be. Is anyone aware of a manufacture that is making thinner grips ? I suspect that aluminum or G-10's would be in order.

EDIT* My P225-A1 came with black G-10's, I don't know who made them.

G10's will do the trick. I have them (checkered) on my P239. Back strap has more grip than factory. Combine with skateboard tape on front strap. Locks in gun nicely under recoil.

What grips did your pistol come with? The wood or the G-10? I belive they offer wood, black G-10, or the black and white G-10 factory. Not sure if the two G-10's are the same profile or not.

Does Hogue offer any options yet?

If you brought the "Classic Carry", then the grips are thicker than all the others, because they have a slightly fuller profile. They are not made by Hogue. All the other grips are Hogue made. They are thinner.

See above.

The Model I have is the 225A-9-B-CL and wondering if this is has the thicker Classic grips if anyone can advise? Maybe the CL stands for "Classic"?

Just a refresher, I am seeking thinner grips. My grips measured across the grip, just below the SIG silver emblem 1.185" with my dial caliber.

Yours would look like this:


That grip is as thin as you can get right now with the P225-A1.

Thanks 12131......Maybe Hogue or VZ will come out with a set of grips a little thiner?
IMHO;These grips don't need to be as thick as there are?
On a different note, in looking at the magazines, I believe that with a simple re-design, another round or 2 could be added to the magazine? It would be nice to have a 9 +1 or 10 +1.

Waiting for VZ? You'll be 6 feet under.
The stock grips ARE made by Hogue. So, whatever Hogue makes aftermarket for this gun will have the same thickness. Man, you must have very small hands to want thinner grips than what's on the gun right now.

Yes, the mag is just taken from the P239, and they tack on that useless spacer. Clearly, it was cheaper for SIG to do this than to produce an entire new mag for the gun. I tell you, if they don't come out with a 9- or 10-rounder for this gun, it will eventually join many others in the Discontinued Products.

12131, with all the Sigs you have, could you help us convince Sig that we need 9 round flush fitting mags plus extended 10 rounders? Or please come up with a baseplate that will replace the useless baseplates the current 225A1 mags have.

OP, I have small hands as well and the 225A1's grips are probably the thinnest grips I have next to my 239 and 232 grips.
