Wood Sig 228/229 grips - what are my options?

[ez bake]

What are my options - I really don't like the partially checkered style of either of the Nils, Marschal doesn't seem to make them for the 228, and Hogues are probably the best looking, but still lack something.

Is there anyone else out there?

WOW EZB you kinda ran through all I know of who make them.

Nills, and Hogue.

The "new" hogue design is a LOT better than the older ones. They were butt ugly.

The Nils grips on my Sig 229 Sport have a stipled ather than checkered surface.

No offense man, but all the stippled Nils I've ever seen are hideous. I trust them to be well manufactured and top-notch quality, but I'm definitely not looking for stippled (I'm a fan of checkering).

I'm not a fan of the half-checkered style they show for the other of only two styles offered for the 228.

I was afraid that I'd be stuck with just a few choices. Thanks guys.

If you decide to consider something other than wood, both Sig and Hogue offer aluminum grips, kinda pricey but unique. Also, Houge buys stock plastic Sig grips and checks them, they look and feel good. I think they are on the Houge auction site.

I've posted the question if anyone has tried the Houge or SIG alumium grips and never got a hit. Has anyone tryied these grips? Are they worth the money?

Nills are checkered now. I don't believe you can get the old stipple pattern. Nills are the best quality you will find, hands down.

They show both on their site still - but then again, there's basically only one dealer in the US if I'm reading their site correctly so they may not be "internet-savvy" like us folk here on the OSA

Holy crap, Hogue has a new online store (I was looking at a link to their old one and it didn't look like it had much and I totally ignored the link and huge message in the middle that said "we have a new online store".

Lots of different styles I couldn't find online anywhere else.
