I was looking to replace the factory boot grips with something nicer and checkered. The Hogue aluminum grips for semi autos are pretty cool IMHO. The Hogue grips SIG put on the P226 40th edition were very well made. These would be for a 43C so I thought some small alloy grips would be cool. I’m a machinist so I like the detail. I haven’t found anything but wood-aluminum hybrids. I’m up for a hunt if they’re out of production. The factory plastic boots aren’t half bad with 22.
