P226 Grip options?

The classic "no nonsense" look is appealing.

slick grips carry nicely iwb

My Scorpion has the Hogue G10 grips and my X5 has G10 as well, not sure who made those, probably Hogue. My Scorpion has 10k rds through it and a lot of holster wear, the grips still bite good.

Don't they come with factory G10 grips?

I don't know why I just assumed LOK and VZ had them

No no they did, for years.

The factory G10’s are outsourced to Hogue.

Ya, the scorpion does. They look good and feel right. I still need to get used to the X5 grips. My thinking was the palm swell would be good but presenting and grabbing the dot instantly is taking some work. The scorpion, even with the tiny optic is still faster to acquire. Could be the round count difference though. 1k vs 10k.

Just noticed you can see the old school rubber armored Hogues on the 220st!

Hogue G10s are great and the fiberglass material is super easy to work with. I had to shave mine down slightly to clear a low-profile Legion slide catch I put on my P226 Scorpion. The smaller catch stays out of the way, so my slide finally locks back reliably on the last round. Once you clean the sanded area with a little gun oil, it looks brand new.

Off topic, sorry. Did the mag catch swap help with profile? What are the details?

Slide catch, not mag catch. The non-Legion P226 slide catches are very easy to ride.

This might illustrate better. Non-Legion slide catch on the left. Legion slide catch on the right.

Yep, my bad slide catch. It is an age thing, I knew what I meant, lol. That is a really good idea. My X5 has it but I never thought much of it as it is positioned to make room for the safety. Thanks for the images.
