Picked up an older Interarms imported Sig P220 in 9mm at the gun show this weekend. Gun looks ok, but since its not pristine I was thinking about sending it off to CCR to get a fresh coat of something on it and it has some wood aftermarket Hogue grips on it that don't seem to fit right and I'm not a huge fan of them

So what do you guys recommend for replacement grips on it? When I search for Heel release P220 grips the majority of them specifically say .45 so I'm not sure if the frames are the same between the 9s and the 45s or if I need grips specifically for the 9mm variant.

The heel release type P220 grips are interchangeable between all of the P220 calibers.

You might want to get in touch with Ken. You probably have one of their grips that is just a little out of specs. I bought one of their G10 grips for the heel release P220 that I bought from hjs157 a couple of years ago, and it fit perfectly.

Yeah I haven't taken them off or really spent too much time with it yet, but maybe today when I get home I'll pop it open and take the grips off. Even if they fit right I still don't really like the look of them so I'll probably try to find a set up G10's or something for it if they are available.

To be honest I'm not even 100% sure they are hogue wood grips that's just what the guy told me. To me it doesn't seem like a product hogue would put out, but I could be wrong.

There were some wood (walnut?) grips that were available in the early '80s for the P220.

I don't know if they were a factory offering, but they are somewhat common for the era.

I've had the best luck with the Hogue checkered aluminum grips (21170) as they are on all of my range Sigs and some that just came with bad (or no) grips.

I'm not sure if they are still in production, but they are dimensionally similar to the Hogue G-10 grips with the feel of aluminum.

The grips on the P220 are not caliber specific. Seems like most only know the P220 as a .45 Auto.

No knowing what grips you have without a photo. I inquired here on the forum and was informed my factory Sig wood grips were made by Marinno in Switzerland, might not be the correct spelling. Also saw a set of the Swiss walnut P-220 heal release grips on Ebay a while back. Just me I prefer on older Sigs to have original factory parts/accessories.

If it doesn't say Hogue on the inside, it's not Hogue. I no longer own the P220, but here are a couple of pics of it with the Hogue G10 Checkered Black grips on. They are great looking and feeling grips.




They have them in stock currently, https://www.hogueinc.com/grips...-checkered-g10-black.

I like those. I think CPII and those grips would look good on it. Maybe CPII frame and dusk slide with those grips

They won't plate (CPII or Nickel) alloy frames, because it would require stripping off the anodization, which they will not do. Your frame option for a look that closely matches the CPII would be their Nikote.

Hi,

check this guy out, makes wood grips specifically for heel grip P220 (and many others)

Take a look at the Hogue black checkered G-10 grips mentioned above. I’m using those on a few vintage Sigs to include a P220 and 228. Nice upgrade from the original plastic grips without significantly changing the look.

I like the look of those. Might grab a pair of those. Thank you

I have one of these 9mm P220 Euro pistols with the heel release. It's a cool gun and reminds me of my first 1911.

Original grips, if you can find them, could be around $300. I went with checkered Hogue 21179, Very nice.

Mags are a little challenging to find. I went with new ones from these guys:
