686 RB to SB grips
I am buying a new model 686 and don't really care too much for RB grips.I really like the older style SB grips.Has S&W ever offered a RB to SB conversion grip in the Coke style.Also I was wondering if there's any way to make a set of SB grips work on RB frame.I know companies like Hogue make a set of conversion grips but really want a set of factory SB style grips.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Product: Uncle Mike's K/L Round (No Logo) Square Conversion
S&W carries Uncle Mike's K/L round to square conversion, which fits my hands fairly well. The grips on the SSR are essentially a type of conversion grip; I suppose they would sell you a set? I use the Pachmayr Pro Gripper on my range K/L revolvers for IDPA/USPSA. These are not really a conversion grip, and leave a small gap at the bottom back of the grip. Since the grips are rubber, there is no danger of cutting your hand or breaking off the corner of the grip. Can't feel the gap when holding in firing position. Still, if you're more about looks than performance, this grip might not suit you. You said you were aware of the Hogue grips: Quote:

OKFC05 I'm really looking for something in a wood grip like the oversize presentation grips for the older K & L frame.Did I understand you right when you said that the older SB grips will fit the newer RB K frame.

The square-butt grips will fit a round-butt frame, but there will be a bit of a gap where the SB grips don't follow the RB frame. If it bothers you, you could always whittle a piece of wood to fit in there.
Eagle Grips also makes some good-looking round-to-square conversion grips: "Classic", "Heritage" (checkered), and "Heritage" (smooth). |
