Pachmayr grips are too large for my hands and are the butt ugliest things ever made so I cannot confirm this. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-re...achmayr-presentations-round-butt-k-frame.html http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge...e-butt-pachmayr-presentations-round-butt.html

I like the grippyness of the Pachmayr grips and the Presentations and S&W target grips fit my hand very well. Plus the Pachmayr grips are cheap. My friend shot one of my 17's with the Presentation grips and he liked them much better than the Hogues that came with the 617.
