Default Little Help Please

I lost part of the little finger on my strong hand & because of this I have a hard time finding sixgun stocks which fit. Magma stocks with a Tyler T Grip works fine as do Hogue Grippers [finger grip] with an open backstrap.

Another which feels great is the Miculek by Hogue but the opening for the strain screw doesn't nothing for the looks as does his initials. I like smooth non-checkered stocks. I there a stock which is approximate to the Miculek without the funny hole? Thanks guys.

Hogue Hardwood gun grips are some of the best out there and very fairly priced. You can see them at the Hogue website. They come in a variety of woods (Goncalo Alves, Rosewood, Cocobolo, Pau Ferro, among others) and different grip shapes, depending on whether your gun has a round butt, a square butt, or needs a round to square conversion grip. Additionally, while they all share the same characteristic palm swell and coke bottle curves, you can choose from three different finger groove shapes; full finger groove, one finger groove, or no finger groove.

Another reason I like them is that they are routed at the top of the side panels in the same shape, giving proper symmetry, and allowing for full speedloader access on the left side and unobstructed display of the factory trademark stamping on the right.

A little tricky to install the first time, but very easy thereafter. My only gripe is the absence of the traditional S&W grip medallions.

Thanks. I spent an hour on their site. I was wondering if their other stocks are much larger in diameter at the point of strain screw hole of the Miculek stock. That's the area where my short finger lays.

You could get a set of custom grips made for your hand from Herretts.
