I bought a newly used Sig P229 recently and while it shoots nice, I'm having issues with the grip on the gun.  As a lefty, I can't seem to get a good grip with my thumbs up high.  The ridge just seems to awkwardly dig right into the joint where my thumb goes and it's quite uncomfortable.  Would changing aftermarket grips help with that?

get yourself some cheap rubber hogues and see if it feels better.  you can find them all over the classifieds for like $15 shipped
I have them on my 229 elite and my hands love them.  (I'm right handed though)

Another lefty SIG owner here.  To which ridge are you referring?

Basically, the way the gun curves around rightttt where the joint where your thumb starts.  I noticed that my hand was getting excessively beaten up in that spot with a thumbs high grip.  Didn't seem to have the same issue with a 228....could just be me bein retarded though.

So, the "ridge" where the grips meet on the backstrap?  Could sand it smooth.

Question for you.... what technique do you find best for left-handed operation of a Sig? I've gotten used to using my trigger finger, but am always looking for new tips..

Edit- should specify that I'm referring to operation of the de-cocker

Actually....you guys are on the wrong side of the handgun grip, lol.  I'm referring to when my thumb (lefty) and joint come in contact with the grip.  I can't seem to comfortably get a thumbs-high grip on the gun.
