I've looked in the forum and it seems that some people really enjoy the new E2 grips, even taking the care to get the upgrade E2 kit from Sig to install on older/classic sig pistols.
On the other hand, there are people who just prefer the simplicity of the older design and given the availability of truly awesome grips (Hogue and others), it is a valid position.
I personally prefer the older grips, for the following reasons:
a) You don't need a special tool to replace/remove them.
b) More options to customize the looks (e.g. wooden grips), performance (e.g. Hogue G10 damascus grip), comfort (e.g. Hogue rubber panel grips).
c) I have XX-large hands, the E2 doesn't make much difference on the ergonomics for me.
That being said, I have E2 grips in my p229 Elite and they work fine. I wouldn't go through the trouble of retrofitting 'classic' grips in it.
Keeping in mind that I believe that Sig has good reasons to design the E2 grips.
I personally think that Sig is doing innovative things (e.g. the p320 modular design) instead of making the same old guns again and again (I'm looking at you, Glock.).
I decided to create a poll to try to measure what is the feeling of the community on the matter.
What are your thoughts on the E2 grips? Yay or Nay?
