Anyone know who offers these and where to get a pair? Also - If you do have them, can you post a pic please.

Much appreciated

Sile used to make them for the N frame Round Butt. They turn up on Ebay now and then for about $15. They are very narrow and can be punishing with full house loads.

Thanks for the info, KurtC
I decided to try out the Pachmayr Compac grips (that are standard on the Night Guard's). Just ordered them today from Natchez Shooters Supplies.

Anyone have a pic of their N-Frame with a set of these on....and how do you like them?

Thanks

The Compac grips are very comfortable to shoot. Too tacky for concealed carry, but great for the field or range.

I think they are cute



I used to sell them for $20 plus shipping. Not sure if I have any left.

Thanks for the pic, colt_saa

I decided to go with the Pachmayr Compact grips instead of a rubber boot. Even though the wood grips look great, I wanted something a tad bigger to hang on to when firing this that didn't add much bulk. The Pachmayr Compact grips is what the Night Guard series of pistols wear.

Some comparison shots - wood boot grips


and now with the new Pachmayr Compact's
