I just ordered the Sig P226 E2 Enhanced Ergonomics in 9mm. Can someone tell me definitively if it uses the same mags as the regular P226 9mm.

Thanks in advance!
 
Mags that cam with my 226 e2(10/15) Do not work with other 226s. Its a few mm shorter. But all 226 mags work with the e2

That's odd; Are you sure about that? It doesn't make sense, they don't sell P226 E2 specific mags on Sigsauer.com website... I Believe the frames are the same since the new e2 grip can be retro fitted on older 226s (With the replacement of the mainspring housing and mainspring guide).

Yeah. When i use 226 mags the baseplate is extended out a mm or 2. And when i put the e2 mags into a 226 it doesnt fit because the base is too short for the mag to lock in. When i compare side by side the top 3/4 of the tube appears to be same.

Ill take some pics this weekend
 
I measured the mags since i was cleaning em after a range trip today... 4.55" for E2 OEM mags, and 4.6" for 226.. very small diff.. but just enough for the E2s not to seat in the 226
