number47 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'm looking to try and create a P227 Carry and thought that adding a WE P228 slide to a P229 frame was a good start. Does anyone know if the internals are identical and therefore be a quick win? Also do real aftermarket grips work on WE Sigs? Any advice greatly appreciated.

NonEx Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 99,99% sure that there are only the minor exterior differences between the WE P228 and P229 models so it should be a drop-in-fit. As for grips, yes you can make real grips work on the WE Sig series (I have done it on P228 and P226 models). Don't remember exactly and don't have a guide for it but some material needed to be sanded away on the inside of the grips and around the hammer spring housing. This video has my Run In Workshop custom marking WE P228 with RS grips installed: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colin_The+Ferret Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I fitted genuine Hogues to a WE P228. Took a fair bit of dremellling to get them to fit round the spring housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Anyone know where to find RS plastic logo grips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Brownells Sweden have them listed but they are not available for order. I would suggest you contact their customer service and ask if they can get them for you. They're great to deal. https://www.brownells.se/GRIP-PLATE-RIGHT-NEW-STYLE-BLUE-TWO-TONE-SIG-SAUER-P229-P228-732000087 https://www.brownells.se/GRIP-PLATE-LEFT-NEW-STYLE-BLUE-TWO-TONE-SIG-SAUER-P228-732000077 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
