Very very nice! That is definitely a conversation piece. You got to love the P220. I have a P220ST and just love mine as well. I bet that bad boy set your wallet back a little bit.:wink:
We are totally heartless. :yup:
The guy just spent a bundle on a dang nice firearm and now we're going to make him fork out another $90 for exotic wood grips. We LOVE spending money that does not belong to us.
It's the Hillary Clinton in us. :rofl:
I kind of like the aluminum grips. If I do get new ones, they'll be the hogue rubber finger groove grips. I think the stealth look would be a better choice for this weapon.
I may be in the minority here, but I prefer the standard black plastic grips on Sigs...just like on my P7...for me, these guns look too futuristic for wood...now a 1911, a Hi-Power or a nice revolver...that's something else....
You don't wanna KNOW how expensive Elephant Ivory grips would be for the 220. Especially if each grip panel was a solid slab (due to the fact that the grips form the backstrap)
You're looking at about $800 + for the tusk ivory even before you make the first cut.
By the time you get done with that (fairly complex) fabrication you are well over the cost of the SIG for a set of ivories.
Don't think I've not thought about making a set.
One Boo-Boo and it will really cost you. :nono:
That's one set of grips you'll not want to get the grip screw holes drilled or located in the wrong spot. :rofl:
I think you gave up the "stealth" look when you bought the Platinum model.:rofl: It is a very nice looking gun though. I would maybe go with a contrast look. Try a dark black or grey colored wood grip or maybe even ebony. That would look really sharp against that light colored metal and trim. Just my .02.
I am going to go away from the common of the thread and state that i would also change grips from the pic , however i would go the standard black sig grips . I dont like woods on 220s nor do i on p7s. Some firearms are as close to " good " as it gets as issued . As a side note on say the 1911 or the revolver , grips can in fact get smaller . On a pistol that normally comes with tupperware you can get wood , but it will increase grip size which is not allways a good idea .
