I found a p226 with the jj date code in about 95% for $400.
Good deal or pass?

If condition is good i would buy at that price.
Just know that the early ones used a grip screw bushing similar in design of which the 1911 uses and with the bushing comes a smaller screw thread size of which both are really hard to find if needed.

Try top gun supply, they had the proper grip screws when I replaced some.

FWIW, when I replaced the grips on my JJ model (to Hogue G10), I was able to use the screws that come in the Sig parts kit.

My JJ P226 also uses "standard"/common grip screws.

Yes sorry about that. I was off by a year or two.
I have gad early Herndons with the bushing and later Herndons that accept the newer larger thread size.
The screw issue with the jj guns was the thinner head thickness screws are difficult to find. The newer screws have the thicker head size which swells outside the old style checkered grips without the sig sauer/p226 logos. The newer screws work but look odd. Then there is the old style metal base msh assem and the arched trigger bar return spring differences that come into play also.

That sounds right (thinner head). I remember a difference when taking them off. I have my originals with the factory grips as I put VZ G10 on it.

I bought an all beat to hell P226 for $350 and was happy since I used it a Simmunition trainer.

$400 for a 226 in any kind of decent shape is a deal.
