Did anyone get the wood grips from Numrich? It was a topic on the Sig Forum.

I was lucky enough to get two sets for my P225s. I received them on friday. I don't like the finish on them so I'm going to strip them and refinish them with an oil finish. I'll post some before and after pics when I get them done.

Yours look better than the ones I got. I like the classic stamped slide P226 with them - very nice.
Thats what a Sig should look like!
For some reason the second picture isn't loading for me. What is it??
 
I just turned 21 and also (*garyr) bought a P226 in .40. I haven't got to shoot it yet, looking forward to a couple hundred rounds when I go home for Christmas.

It is my P-6.

Mine weren't finished at all. I have been coating them with lemon oil like suggested on the Sig Forum.

The 226 grips were damaged when I got them, but they are out of grips now so I will keep them. On the left side, at the bottom, the corner was missing. I guess that just adds more character to an old gun.

I also got a set for a 220. I decided not to put them on my newer 220 and I am going to find an older 220 to put them on.
 
Walnut oil will work quite nicely as well--I prefer it as a wood finish.
It will darken the wood slightly though.

Personally, for wood grips that I would use, three to five coats of poly would probably be what I'd put on them. Or if I was feeling nutty, a few applications of marine grade epoxy, only because I have it sitting around. (I build wooden boats as well as sell Sigs).

PS, P250's are in. If you're in the Dallas area and would like to try one out, give me a shout. I'm always looking for excuses to hit the range.
 
I'll strip the grips with Minwax Furniture Refinisher and then put on 3 to 4 coats of Tung oil. I did the same to a set of grips for my P228 and they turned out really nice. I don't want them to be perfect. I want then to match the wear on my "JE" code P225.
Here's what my P228s' grips look like using the above method.

My gun range/shop got their first P250 last week. I fondled it and I have to say that I don't really care for it. :(
I don't like the quality of the levers and that the plastic guide rod was really cheap. It looked like it had a chunk missing from the front edge of it :uhoh:
The whole gun just had a look and feel of a lower quality firearm.
I'll have to admit that I was disappointed with it.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to keep looking for the older "P"s.
 
Y'all are not kidding about addiction! I just traded a rifle toward a P229 SAS, and ordered a couple more TJ Custom triggers from Brownells. Two P229s in less than two weeks!

I think you're going to love it. I shot 200 rounds at the range the other day and it shoots even better than the rentals, which I'm sure get quite a work out. I can't wait to get some more bullets and go back...probably this Saturday.
 
Ref, that's a damn good-looking P228. Wow! That subtle wear gives it character. Looks like you aren't afraid of getting it out of the safe and actually carrying it. Kudos to you!

I'd love to use wood grips but the only ones I've ever had were on a 1911 and the sweat from IWB turned the left panel much darker than the other one. I've been using synthetics ever since.
 
New Sig

This past weekend I traded in my .40 cal P229 w/ some cash for a Revolution GSR C3. It is decidedly more aesthetically pleasing than the 229. Incidentally, does anyone know who manufactures the mags that come w/ the C3?
 
Sigs, but no "skeeters"!

This week, I added a SIG 556 and a Mosquito to my SIG collection to make it a total of four with my P226 and P220.
I got my P226 (9mm) when I was stationed in Germany with the USAF. The sad part is that I shot my the SIG 556 and Mosquito, today...I am not very happy with the latter.
It doesn't equate to the other pistols I have...plastic trigger, weak magazine spring, and very picky about ammo.
The SIG 556 works like a champ...feeds, fires, and ejects brass like a "beast"...forward and far to the right with authority; I didn't worry about hitting my neighbor with spent brass at the range, today, like I do when I fire my Ruger Mini-14.
I am not really sure or sold on the Holosight that SIG sold me...$145 wasted?..seems a little "cheesy". Any suggestions or ideas on optics?
 
Well... my sig collection is growing. I already have a sig rifle (556), I enjoy it so much that I had been interested in looking at a sig handgun.

Last night I went to "LOOK" at a Sig P229R...
An well... one thing led to another, the cash in my pocket was suddenly gone, the next thing I remeber I was driving home and had this beauty in my car with me. :D:D:D

I'm taking it to the local range after work today!!!

Thats how it starts. You'll soon be broke, but you'll have a nice "collection" (BTW - great start ;) )

Have fun at the range today - I'm jealous.
Lets us know how she shoots.

Mosquitos seem to be hit or miss. Unfortunately you got a bad one. Hopefully you'll be able to find the right ammo thay'll work in yours.
 
Just picked up my third. I now have a P226 to go along with my P225 and a P239 in .40S&W.
 
Limited Editions just out

Here's a few limited editions I just got in.
Thought you all might like to see them:

Great pics zeroskillz!

I just bought a 229... that Ltd. Edition 226 looks NICE!!!! What price do you have on those???
 
I've had a non-rail P220 for the past year or so and just recently picked up a P225. It's hard to explain the "why" with these guns. They just "feel" right. Sig's are just such nice, solid, high quality guns. I will own more yet, even if I end up living in a van down by the river. ;)
 
man, that 226 limited is SECKSY.

I just, sheesh, not ten minutes ago told a friend that I was all pistoled out. Had one for every need.

Now you guys have to go an introduce WANT into the equation.

WANTS
 
I went to lunch with a friend yesterday. He has had some medical problems lately and is a bit short on cash. With Christmas coming he asked me if I wanted to buy one of his Sigs. I know this was hard on him because he loves his Sigs like I do.

Sig # 15 P226 9mm KB and I bought his unused threaded barrel to go with it.

I bought one of those P226s this past April. Its also known as a PME - "Poor Mans Equinox" because of the PME designation in the model # on the sticker. I think someone at Sig has a sense of humor!
(Ted - what a great Sunday of football for us !! Cowgirls go down to my Iggles and the Skins beat up the Giants!!)
Here are two shots of my PME wearing the Sig walnut grips. The PMEs come with the standard black plastic grips.

At least you'll be well protected. :evil:

Congrats on #15 :what:
 
TJ Customs triggers are narrower than the standard factory trigger, and rounded, allowing the finger to roll across the trigger face in DA shooting. The TJ trigger is not a shorter trigger; LOP is about the same as the standard trigger.
