I have been toying seriously about getting one of the Elite versions as I mentioned in another thread but wow... I am glad I waited because I am in love! Kind of disapointed it is not available in the .357sig but hey thats ok by me here.

I'd prefer the plain SCT version (link) instead and skip all of the free advertising for BW.

I guess this is the new model?

Seems I remember there being another Blackwater 226 w/ some sweet ass wood grips that had been stained a transparent-ish black.

EDIT: Found the photo. Personally, I like the wood grips better... for looks anyway. For function, the stock plastic grips have always been great, and I REALLY like the Houge grips on a 226.

I really hate those wood grips. That was my main dislike about the Elite version and Sig would not exchange them for something else. It is a personal preference thing but it never felt right in my hands.

Well that has to be on the have to have list.

I am out of my Sig phase but that new BW is pretty nice. I like the beaver tail, the grips (the look of them, not the logo), and love the mag well and ultra hi-cap mags.

I don't like the front sight though. I wouldn't think the fiber optic sights are a good match on a pistol that is supposed to be more for "rugged" duty.

You could probably have sold those grips and bought 2 pairs of the plastic ones!

I like the LOOKS of the black woods ones, but for use, I prefer the el cheapo Sig plastics.

[Guest Dean_JC78]

Yea but then you have the task of selling them. I did have somebody mention on these forums that they would buy the wood ones though.

I like the plain jane as well. But the BWT just is the total package for me. My heart is set!!! Perhaps I need to give myself a little Christmas present...

I Like it but then I always like any Sig.

Be a real man and wear PINK

KEEP MY WIFE OUT OF THIS THREAD!

I can't afford Sig!
