I just received my new Smith & Wesson 11760 Performance Center 686 Plus today and I have a question regarding the Hogue overmolded synthetic grips that ship with the gun.

Are these grips the same as the Hogue round butt rubber tamer conversion monogrip 19022 (UPC: 743108190227)?

I want grips which tame the recoil of the .357 magnum cartridges as much as possible, and I always enjoy changing grips. I called Hogue and they said that their monogrip is different but I wasn't so certain.

If they say the grips a different then they must be..
Maybe a wider grip is what you want.

Those grips are different. The tamers have a covered backstrap to manage more recoil , but the grips themselves are thicker. By a bit.
The ones that come standard on that gun have an exposed backstrap. And are rubber.

You should try shooting the gun first. There isnt much recoil to it.

Hey jmegas,

Do you have a holster for your PC? I can't seem to find a good fitment for it.
thanks,
