Piranha, this time. I also have chain link on my 228, checkered on my 229 .40, and checkered aluminum on my 239.
The chain link is a bit more aggressive, which I like, but the piranhas are working out pretty well and I think they look better. I could take either one and not lose any sleep, though IMO the checkered G10 aren't enough improvement over the stock grips to be worth the price (~$120, wow). I prefer the checkered aluminum over the checkered G10.
Thanks. I think I'll give the stippled E2s a run for a few weeks and re-visit the idea.
I thought I'd share a couple stipple jobs of mine…

Here are some pictures of my finished P320 that was kind of a collaboration between Robert Burke and myself. I don't think I could be any happier with this gun!

First, I lied about waiting on the Hogue grips. Walked into a cheap-enough-to-try price for a used set of G10 Piranha texture grips and went with those. They feel great. I much prefer them to both the E2 and the OEM grip shapes -- really fills out my hand better.
Second, I bought another P226. This is a 1995-mfg factory two-tone nickel gun, stamped Made in Germany. I'm not ordinarily a fan of two-tone guns. I am, however, a fan of $450 gun show P-226s that have no frame rail wear and some minor cosmetic dings. Fired about 200 rounds for function without issue. Excellent DA trigger on this gun.
