Im not really Sig guy but I need some help.  I picked up a surplus 228 earlier this year and I like it except for the large protrusion on the top left grip panel at the slide stop.  Its great for one handed shooting but I dont like where my thumbs sit when two handed shooting.  Is there a set of grips that dont have this?  I've done some searches but havent really found a answer.  

Pic for clarity:

Well the decocker spring is right there so there’s only so much that can be done.

And I don’t know if E2 grips will work on a P228. Probably would need to do the mainspring housing change.

Factory plastic grips are much thinner, but still thick there because of decocker.

The E2 grips will work. Looks like they still have that hump but maybe shaped different.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.  I dont have a problem with the grip circumference getting bigger to match, I want to remove or minimize as much as possible of this rise as I can.  It sits exactly where my thumbs want to ride in a proper two hand grip.

I've been searching a bit more and have found a bunch of grips but I either can't see the rise because of the image or can't find pics on a pistol.

Had the same problem when issued my P226 and then a P228.  Extended sessions would cause a hot spot or blister.  

OEM grips are better than the Hogue, but the hump is still there.  Get used to or change platforms.
