Upgrading my TM P226. Advice?

Looks good, Fidget11. I'd never even thought of mixing a silver outer barrel with a black slide.

Have you considered putting a Hogue grip on that thing? I recently got the universal slip-on one and it's AMAZING. Very comfortable.

yeah, i really want a classic all black 226, but that silver barrel does look extremely sexy. would you happen to have more pics of it?
i want hogue grips as well...but that'll come last for me

Fidget11 · October 24th, 2006, 06:45

i didnt take many but that said i do have a camera and would be willing to take more shots of it is you guys would like... i know i have thought of the hogue grips, havent actually done it yet though and honestly im not 100% sure that i want to. i kinda like the feel of the metal on the frame and with a full wrap around hogue grip i would lose some of that.

E-izzle · October 24th, 2006, 17:41

if you don't mind takin some more shots...then that'd be great but if not, then that's alright too.

the engraving on the outside of the barrel is actually really nice and very deep, its just hard to get a pic of because i need to use a flash and the flash reflects of the nice shiney barrel.

Why would you let it come last? It looks SO HOT!

Hey, fidget11. Did you get your parts in Edm? I'm going to be down there from G.P. next month and was wondering if they were local or from the Armoury? And you don't happen to have the part #'s do you? Looking on the ASCA site, I don't realy see what I need.

Fidget11 · October 25th, 2006, 00:00

nope no places to shop in edmonton, so i bought all of mine from ASCA. the things i bought to get myself to this point besides the initial tm sig were:

-http://www.ascarmoury.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_57&products_id=200
-http://www.ascarmoury.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_56&products_id=234

the only thing i bought new for the gun besides those parts was a new front sight off JAFA since my first one was lost while doing the upgrade. if you are planning to do it, for the love of god do it on a clear surface with no carpeting nearby. also make sure you go slowly, keep track of every part as you go, have good lighting, tools, and i found that a pair of tweezers was quite useful as well.

Damn straight. Good lookin' P226Rs you have there ILLusion (those are yours right?). I was actually going to get that grip, but changed my mind when I found out it required some work to get it to fit the gun...

Fidget11 · October 25th, 2006, 01:21

if i went hogue i would seriously only get the wrap around hogues like the ones you have illusion... how much work were they to fit?

Yeah, that thing is sexy. If it's not TOO hard to make it fit I would seriously consider getting it.

ILLusion · October 25th, 2006, 06:29

You need some time and a dremel tool to modify it to fit. A good amount of the inside needs to be taken out to fit.

Fidget11 · October 25th, 2006, 11:12

damn, that part sucks cause i was really hopeful that it wouldnt need that....

that just discouraged me from getting hogues...unless there's an easier alternative

but i guess for the sickness of it, the time and effort's well worth it

with a dremel and steady hand your looking at about 1/2 hour of work on the hogues, really not that bad.
