Concur with the E2 grip. I wish I can put it on glocks, Larue grip, AK, sig232 and so on

I've come to dislike the slide release location on the sig though. It does not allow that as-high-and-forward firing hand position. The R thumb rides on the release, causing the pistol to fail to slide-lock after last round. More of PITA than any serious prob but still. The problem is exacerbated with use of gloves, which increases the size of your firing hand thumb and easily snags the slide release down. The problem is evident with the 2 SEALS I'm passing all my surgical-marksmanship knowledge/skills to. Their SOP is shoot with gloves on. They were convinced their 226 need to be sent back to the factory until I demonstrated then had them demonstrate the failure to slide-lock is user caused.
I haven't had much of a problem with the slide lock myself although I can see how it can be an issue. It may have something to do with me shooting the same weapon for over 10 years and over time, becoming familiar with P220's particulars.

FWIW, I've got nothing against Glocks. I think someone on this forum once said "You can't have too many.....".
