Hogue Rosewood on my P220 Elite

Hogue craftsmen impressed me again with the consistency and beauty of their work. I replaced the standard E2 grip on my new 220 Elite with Hogue’s “Exotic Hardwood Grip” in checkered rosewood. Aside from the good looks, the new grip fills up more of my hand now to feel virtually the same as my 226 MK25.

Looks great. So you'd say it's similar in width to the plastic factory grips? I've been wanting to find some dark cherry grips for one of my nitron guns for a while.

Thanks! Yes, similar width (as both factory and Hogue are made for the P220), but It's thicker than the plastic E2 factory grips. My large hands were used to the P226 grip thickness, and now my P220 and P226 feel the same. As to your search for dark cherry, when you visit Hogue website and look at the pics of the various "exotic hardwood" colors, you may well conclude, as I did, that the Rosewood is the closest to a dark cherry--and the description mentions "red" tones twice, along with brown tones.

There's definitely red in there. I'll see what they have available. Thicker grips on a P220 doesn't seem to bother me but on a P226 or 229 it's a little thick

Those grips absolutely MAKE the pistol. I put their G10 "looks like wood" grips on my P226 and it changes the character of the gun completely. But they're not as nice as the ones you put on your P220. I may call a do-over and get the real deal Rosewood Checkered grips.

Hogue’s quality control is impressive. I also put their all-black checkered extreme G10s on my 226 MK25. Both upgrades really did “make” the pistol, as you said. And both made the pistols even more a natural part of my hand.

I'm surprised at how "grippy" the G10's are. Feels welded to my hand when I shoot. Nice!

Yes, I've experienced the same "weld."

I don't know that they will do it to already purchased grips, but Hogue will take a custom order through their Customer Service, for a pair with checkering along the back of their hardwood grips, just as their G-10 checkered grips are done.

Thanks for that information, Willard. I will keep that in mind if I order any more hardwood grips.
