Project Rocinante: Chasing modern handgun perfection with Sig’s quadragenarian workhorse (Page 5 of 5)
| Well shit. The GGI-branded Hogue P226 SAO grips aren’t compatible with the X-Five, as they’re not clearanced for the magwell. I’m gonna send off an email to Hogue, find out which of their grips ARE compatible with the USA-manufactured X-Five, and we’ll go from there |

Double check with an email before you order but I’ve seen a couple US p226 xfive guns with the lok grips. |

Lok definitely makes aluminum grips for the US-made X-Five, that’s what comes on the X-Five “Reserve” model. I sent out a question to Hogue, we’ll see what they say. I’ll be a bit disappointed if all that’s available for grips is the Lok aluminum panels, but we’ll just have to see |

Sorry guys, life got in the way for a while there. There hasn’t been any other changes or updates since the last, not least of which because the compatibility for these pistols with various aftermarket parts is not nearly what I thought it would be. That, combined with my displeasure of Sig’s recent handling of the P320 situation (not here to debate it, just my personal view on it) has made me decide to abandon this X-Five. Project Rocinante 2.0 will begin briefly, with a different base and different project goals:  More to come soon
