My SIG P226, should I?

[Microgunner]

install the E2 grip and short reach trigger since I find the double action reach a stretch.

I shoot it well but my grip is a little off center with the DA trigger position. Could be a problen if I ever had to use the pistol in an hurry.

Anyone have input on this?

We issue the P226 .40 at work. I have seen all the modifications so far.

First off.... The SRT upgrade is a must!!!

I would choose the short trigger OR the E2 grip. The only people I have seen do both, are extremely small women in the dept. The grips are too small for me, but my wife loved them.

From the sounds of your OP, you don't need the short trigger. If you were pushing the trigger and throwing your groups to the side, then I'd suggest the trigger. If you put the trigger in now, you might start pulling your groups until you retrain you finger.

You could also try VZ grips, or Hogue micarta grips. They are thinner and have one hellofa grip to them.

I have a set on my P220 and my TRP Operator... They are NICE!!!

Good info. Thanks.

I've decided that Rob's advice is sound and am going to get the E2 grips and the short reset trigger.

I think I'll finally like this pistol as well as it deserves to be liked.

OK, I called SIG today and paid my $254.90 for the E2 grip, short reset trigger, shipping both ways and received my FEDEX label.

 

I'm folowing Robo's advice on this and think this will be just what the Dr ordered. Thanks Rob.

 

I'm wearing it today with it's 9mm upper installed and here's a photo.

 

I'll post photos and review when I get it back.

Got my P226 back from SIG Tuesday. Very fast turn around from their custom shop.

They did a fine job and I like the pistol better now with the E2 grip and short reset trigger conversions.

All the original part were returned with the pistol.

 

I gotta say though, among my full sized pistols my SA XDm is still my favorite.

 

The SIG is in (4) calibers though which I can't do with my XDm, giving the SIG an edge in a crisis situation.

 

Here it is:

XDm is a damn good product.Got one in 9mm.
