I came across these grips on the web today. Do any of you currently use them? They look very good but a bit on the pricey side, would like some feed back before ordering a set. I am thinking of getting some for my 637 & 686SSR.

They are very nice but for me I had to shape them some.

I don't see the point when Hogues or Ahrends will do the job just as well for about half as much.

Yes, they are expensive. But you will not find a finer made wooden grip. They are truly works of art. Here are some pics of some Nill grips on a 620 I gave to my father:








You cannot even feel the seam between the two haves of the grip. That is how precisely made they are. And they fit your hand like a glove. I'd would have to say that the only thing that feels better in my hands than these grips is a woman's breasts.

Last set of SW03H03- ever.

Their Coke Bottle reproduction grips for N-frames are materpieces. Truly custom fit and quality. Amazing checkering. I got one of the first pair they produced. Worth the money and the long wait in my case. God Bless, Marc

I have a set of Round to Square Nills on a Model 19 frame, and they are very comfortable. The workmanship rivals that of Kurac (forum member) as the best grips I've ever seen.

Well worth the money, in my opinion.

Anyone have these on a small J frame? I am not able to see the pictures on their site for the J frame. I have a M36 I would be interested in changing grips on.

I have two pairs of Nill on J frames currently, and have used them on K frames and N frames in the past. They are by far the best grips I have ever used.

Nills on the bottom gun in this pic.

Thanks for all of the info, I will be ordering some for my 637 soon and if I like them will put a set on my 686. Thanks again for all of the input.

My Nills: J, K, and N Frames



I bought the N-frame Nill at the Kansas City NRA Convention several years ago. This was when Nill had an outlet in Texas staffed by a pretty and capable blond German women and some others from Germany. When I called Texas for the other two grips, she handled the transactions on the phone both times. They long ago closed the Texas outlet, but I have seen her competing a couple of times since on the German team at Bianchi Cup.

I also forgot, they are the best looking grips I have seen so far.

Did you refinish the trigger and hammer on that 620?

Nills are spectacular albeit pricey.

Am currently looking for a proper set for my M60. Have a set on my P7-M8; they are gorgeous...and functional.

Be safe.

I picked up a pair for my 29 at a gun show a few years back. They were brand new and I paid 55.00 for them--by far the best investment I ever made in handgun grips!
They are flawless and feel better than any other grips I have ever tried.

I use these on my 649 (J frame), which is the gun I carry the majority of the time, and am very happy with the look and feel. They are quality for sure.



Even though they are wood they absorb recoil gracefully. I prefer them over the stock rubber grips the gun came with as far as felt recoil, which is worth noting since wood generally has a worse reputation for felt recoil.

This felt recoil reduction is in part due to the slickness of the grips. This could also be considered a downside. This is my favorite grip style though.

In any case the quality is immediately apparent and I would buy grips from Nill again.

I have a stipled set of Nills on my 686 and they are absolutely fantastic. If you wear a ring on your shooting hand you may notice some hand/grip interference, but the fit and finish of these grips is outstanding. Buy them!

This is a set I just bought from our own classifieds. I havent recieved them yet just sent payment today.Ive been wanting a set for awhile and I think they look great.

I have Nill grips on my P7 and P08. I am extremely please with their look, fit, and feel.

I own four sets of Nill's and am waiting on a fifth.

IMHO, there isn't a production grip out there the compares with the grip.

Im wondering what effect the J grips will have on my 340. Ive read here that it helps accuracy and recoil. I have CT 305's on now Im curious to see if there is a benefit with the Nills.

I dunno if they help with accuracy or not, but I am more accurate with my J-frame 649 with the Nill grips than my N-frame 327 which is Performance Center! Go figure. Might have something to do with practicing shooting the 649 a bit more or some combination of hand and grip size that is working. I have trouble keeping the 327 rock steady in DA even though it has a lighter trigger pull than the 649. I guess it shows that trigger pull isn't everything.

These (Ahrends) are half the cost of anything Nill and, at least for me, fit as if my hand was used as the pattern:

I don't know Wyatt if saying he got custom grips made or if he works for/with Ahrends.

Assuming the latter, I'll give them a good look over for any future purchase. (Have same style that I like too! )

I first saw Nill grips on another gun forum and knew I had to get a set. Bought my first set for my Sig Sauer P220 Carry. What a beautiful set of grips. I recently acquired a S&W Model 41 and wanted to get some bling for it and ordered a set of Nill ambi grips for it. The Nill grips are pricey but worth it. BTW, I have a set of Ahrend cocobolo wood grips on my S&W 686 Plus which also is beautiful but much easier on the wallet.

I bought a set for my 460 as well as a set for my Sig 210 - can't say enough good about the product[although not inexpensive] but the fit and finish are first class!!

I agree with Bugbeard's comment about felt recoil. I was surprised how comfortable this set was.



I shot a 100+ round IDPA match with this flamethrower, and it really didn't feel bad at all.

What model S&W is that haggis? That looks awesome. I'd try to get one but it looks like S&W no longer offers it or I don't see it on their web site.

It looks just like a PC 327 N-frame except chambered in 45ACP instead of 357 magnum.

It's a 625-10 with a Scandium frame. They also made a 625-11 in .45 Colt. Fairly small production: 300 of the -11 and maybe a few more of the -10.

This particular one went back to the Performance Center for a Master Action Job, dehorning the hammer, and the Nill grips.

If you find one to buy, be sure to check the frame under the barrel. Some barrels were overtightened at the factory and cracked the frame at that point. I don't think shooting them has anything to do with the cracked frame. I have about 500 rounds through mine with no frame crack so far. The problem is that there are no spare fixed sight frames for a repair. I think that S&W has given people another PC gun of their choice for those with cracked frames.


Buck

Nice. It has the same from as the 327 snub I like to carry so it is a really compelling gun. I found it for sale new in box but the cost is too rich for my blood at the moment. I hope it is re-offered at some point.

The 325 nightguard also looks good but the 2.5" barrel and weight just might be too much. The N-frame snub's carry, but there isn't much tolerence for extra length, at least for me.

I currently have four sets of Nill grips. Handgun grips can be a very personal thing but I have never found any that fit my hand better than these.

The next best were the Farrant grips for the model 19 and 66's we were issued. "Fuzzy" Farrant located in West Covina, CA made these back in the 60's and 70' and they made instinct shooting these guns like pointing your finger.

An old junker will get you to the same place as a Roll's Royce, but the ride sure is worth the difference.
