I have a police trade-in P226 on the way. It has the E2 grips and I'd like to switch to the standard (plastic) grips. Is it a simple grip swap or is there more involved? Thanks.

From E2 to standard is a quick swap. You'll need grip screws of course.

This.

Recently went from E2 to G10s on both a P224 and p229. Will do the 226 at some point, too.

Just need grips and grip screws. That's it.

Here's the G-10 Piranaha Grip.  I like them a LOT better than the standard 226 grip and slightly better than the E2 grip.

Yeah I love the E2 grip textures but my mitts are way too big for them.

Get allen or torx head screws and not even bother with the flat head screw.

Hogue makes a Allen head grip screw, which I use, but it fit a torx bit better than an Allen head. Both do fit it, though.

I'm sure you can find similar length screws at a hardware store, or cut down longer ones. Just match the thread pattern.
