I've got a Sig .40 P229 and like it very much but even with my large mitts the grip is too much of a good thing. I see on their website they have aluminum or a rubber/plastic (?) grip. Anyone know if these leave a thinner profile to the grip. Mine has the wooden grips that came with the DAK - SAS P229 and they are fatties. TIA.
Slimmer grips for the Sig P229 ?

The aluminum and traditional plastic grips should all be thinner. You should also look at the new E2 conversion which can be done on your existing Sig. I just had it done with my P226 and the difference is dramatic.
The special that just wrapped was $99, not sure what the conversion will cost going forward but ti's still less than the aluminums.

Slim grips
I have a Sig P226 Platinum Elite (9mm) model. It same standard with aluminum grips and I love them. They feel slimmer than the regular Sig plastic grips. They have a course checkered texture which also improves grip.
I also had a set of Hogue rubber grips that I tried on this pistol, but they made the grip too wide - wider than stock - though the rubber did give a very secure grip. I, personally, liked the thinner aluminum grips.
These aluminum grips came with the pistol, but can be bought separately. They're expensive, though. Expect to pay $160 to $180 a set.

For the Sig, the plastic grips are thinner than the wooden grips and the aluminum grips are thinner than the plastic grips. 
PS: The plastic grips on my 226 and 220 are quite comfortable, I recommend them, they are quite durable.
