I don't know of anyone or any company that makes "thin" grips... but hogue grips tend to have a huge fan following.
If all else fails you could get some wood grips, a file and use up some spare time in thinning off those.

I really don't understand you 1911 nuts...

I already have a 1911. I love the Sig, I just find the grip a bit too chunky, but not uncomfortable. I guess I will have to live with it.
I'm with ya on the buying a 1911 for my med sized hands. I bought a SIG P226R and loved the way it felt. Took a pair of Hogue grips (advice of a LEO buddy and SIG lover) and shaved them down to ratshzt until everything fit nicely. Problem solved.
I still prefer the SA trigger of any 1911... spoiled by 1911 and Browning HP triggers I guess.

For me it all comes down to one thing... when properly tuned, the 1911 has the best handgun trigger I've ever found. I too have a 226, and yes it is chunky, but that is what I expect from a double stack gun. The 226 is a great firearm, balanced, pointable, controllable, a pleasure to shoot and I wouldn't part with it... but it just isn't a 1911.
