do you need any special tool/wrench to install these? Im picking up my 226 tomorrow and want some new grips!

Not at all. Some people say they needed new flat head screws. I used my existing ones.

No, all you need is a flat head screwdriver and the whole operation takes less than five minutes! If you have larger than normal hands or suffer from arthritis, you will love these grips. PS. great choice of firearm - love my sigs!

This is a total replacement of your stock grips. There is a screw and tab holes (on the frame) that hold it in place. I carry everyday and the grips have never shifted a single millimeter. Worth every penny.

YES! And they make a great addition, especially if you have a grip plug installed. Also check out Talon Grips, and the Vickers Extended Mag release and slide release.

My original factory grip didn't have any screws. It just 'snapped' on. I had to buy screws for the rubber grips. They are available from Amazon and Sig both.

Yes, your new P226 comes with the new E2 grip system. You will have to remove the E2 grips with the tool provided (watch you-tube for visual reference). You will need to purchase grip screws from hogue and loctite (I use as an extra precaution) in addition to this purchase if you decide on these hogue grips.

Not sure I understand the 2nd part of your question, but here's what I did. There was a plug in the end of the regular grips that had to be removed so I could slide the regular grips down the bars to accommodate the bar-end grips. You will need to loosen the controls and slide them in far enough for the grips and bar-ends. That leaves an inch or so of plain handle bar over which you slide the bar-end grips and tighten them up.

Theyre standard 1911 grip screws. they will fit any standard 1911 grip. So yes, and they look Really good too.

I have put my own grips on the SRAM twist shifters - just cut them to size and fit them snuggly on. Of course, I use bar end bars, which keeps the grips firmly pushed up against the shifters.

My gunsmith had no problem installing these without making adjustments. He had more trouble removing the stock sights!!!

You have to measure your grips to see what size grip covers you need. Put the grip covers in hot water before you install .

not without spacers, i'm using these for a p223 myself. I recommend you find different rings (spacers for the ring diameter, height is fine)

I didn't change a thing. Removed stock grips and installed new ones. Took about 5 minutes. Pistol works the same. The Hogue grips are awesome!

My grips were for a Beretta .40 cal and those grips are attached by the factory flat tip screws ( two on each side). There is an Allen head adjustment screw to adjust the laser sight.

You will need to purchase some screws to hold this Hogue grip in place. You could ask your local armorer for them or order from Sig.

Yes. I was dumb enough to order new grips without measuring my old grips, so I didn't realize that these aren't designed for a bike with grip shifters. It would have been too much hassle to return them, so I cut them down to size with a box cutter and used them anyway. The cut ends look a little raggedy, but hey, they work fine.

The factory screws work just fine with the Hogue grips. You will love these grips!

Well they're on my .38 right now & well it looks like you can. They are metal. Not sure what's behind them on the grips or how exactly they are mounted. I supose you could try to do it, but I'd be carful about dinging the wood. I like them as is. They look very sharp on my model 10. If I were you, I'd buy the grips and leave them "as is". You'll be very happy with the existing medallions.
