Sig P226 9mm - grips rubbing

[G22]

Never really noticed it before as I don't shoot much anymore, but when I grip it firmly at the rear, the back part of the left/right grips rub together a wee bit which is rather annoying. Is this normal?

The newer SIGs do this Just buy a pair of Hogue grips

Thx. I got this one new - dated 'Jun 2008' on the tupperware.

If they are the older type grip with the screw you might want to make sure its fastened firmly. If you buy the new E2 grips, its one solid grip all around not panels like the old version. Might want to check those out if it really bothers you. Cheers.

One of my 226's did the same thing. You're right, kind of annoying, but still shoots just the same as all the others

Yeah it's kinda common, and a little disappointing.
If you do decide on put on hogues you won't regret it

Thanks for all the info. I have a Beretta 92FS 9mm I am selling, and the grip/feel on that is much better than the Sig (at least with the stock Sig grips).
