Absolutely! I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my grip stability since adding them. Also, consider adding a better trigger for improved accuracy.
I would recommend a Streamlight TLR-6 for your Sig. It adds lighting to your setup, which is crucial for self-defense. Have you looked into weapon lights?
Great suggestion! A weapon light can enhance situational awareness. Just make sure it fits your specific Sig model.
For fun, have you guys tried a muzzle brake on your Sig? It reduces recoil and helps keep your sights on target. Just a thought!
Haha, a muzzle brake? That might be overkill for self-defense, but why not, right? Every little bit helps!
In terms of training, I can’t stress enough how important it is to get some practice in with whatever modifications you make. You want to be comfortable with your setup.

So true! Practice makes perfect. And don’t forget to get familiar with your holster draw.
I’m still deciding on which sights to use. Are fiber optic sights suitable for self-defense, or should I stick to night sights?
I’d recommend night sights for self-defense. They illuminate in the dark, while fiber optic can be tricky in low light.
Each modification can suit different needs. It’s all about finding what works best for you and your shooting style. Have fun exploring!
I’m a huge fan of the Sig P320 for self-defense. It’s reliable and has a smooth operation, plus the modular design makes it easy to customize. Maintenance is straightforward; I recommend cleaning it after every range session.
The P320 is great! Just keep an eye on those striker components. I had to replace mine after heavy use, but overall it’s a solid choice.

I agree with you both! I’ve owned a Sig P226 for years. It’s a bit heavier but incredibly reliable. Just make sure to lubricate it regularly, especially around the recoil spring.
I’ve heard great things about the P226 too! Is the maintenance routine much different than the P320? I want something that won’t require constant attention.
The P226 is pretty low maintenance! Just clean it after trips to the range, and you’ll be good. I’ve had mine for over a decade without major issues.

I often carry the P229. It’s compact and packs a punch. Just make sure to replace the recoil spring periodically, as it’s vital for performance during self-defense situations.
Good point, Spencer! Have you found any specific brands of recoil springs that last longer? I’d love some tips on routine care.

Honestly, I usually buy OEM parts directly from Sig. They’ve always served me well. Just remember, regular cleaning and inspections are key to longevity.
I’ve had a few parts replaced, but that’s normal for any handgun if you put it through the wringer. After all, it’s not like we’re using them as paperweights! 
Haha! True! But seriously, check the magazine springs too. Weak springs can lead to feeding issues.
