Let's see your Model 19 grip pics!

[cuad2001]

Hello all,

I recently bought a round butt model 19-5 with 2.5" barrel and original grips. It feels ok in the hand, but I think it would be better with something that fills the hand more without getting to "target" size.

I wonder if I could impose on you guys who own this model to post pics of your round butt M19s with custom (or non original) grips, or your recomendations. I'm sure others could use this info as well.

Also, please let me know if this has been discussed in another thread.

Thanks in advance.

My 19-2 2.5" has the factory grips and a Tyler T-grip. To me, no better feel on a model 19 snubby exists.

If you don't like the looks of the old gold colored one shown in the pic, Tyler makes them in both polished aluminum, flat and gloss black, and now bronze.

That's another thing I forgot to ask. I've read a lot of members here recomend the Tyler T-grip, and after holding the original grips on my round butt I can understand how it would improve the feel of the gun.

Thanks C&Ld for bringing it up.

I have a M66-2 which is the same as a M19 except it is SS
and I like these Hogues. Don

My 19-4 with our own Executioner's Stag Grips and a Black Tyler "T"

Ditrina, that is an impresive package. Like I said, I'm intrigued by the T-grips.

RS2, those Spegels are sweeet!!!

Hawkeye, those Hogues are beautiful. How do they conceal?

Lot's of good options. Thanks guys. This is just what I was looking for.

Please keep those pics coming.

If you have a weak stomach, Please look away.
I found this in a local shop.
Just as you see it
But it was 325 last year.

I think is was humiliated looking like an overgrown bodyguard.
So I got it home, Cleaned it up and put some wood on 'er.

I still have the Bianchi grips.
They are some heavy rubber grips that turn your K frame into a bodyguard.

I can see how those may work on a model 60, but you're right, they look funky on the M19.

By the way (not trying to highjack my own thread), but what are you guys using to keep the nickle so shinny?

I've had some experience with polishing stainless steel, but I'm new to nickle and don't want to ruin it.

 

[pred]

Just a little Flitz will shine them up real nice!
The Bianchi grips on the above 19 are REAL comfy if that helps,
Funny looking yes, But very nice to shoot with,
Peter

Not a model 19 but a 66-no dash 2.5" K-frame. Factory wood and Tyler-T once (twice actually) again.

 

[shadowrider]

Here's my 66-1 with some Hogues I found. Please pardon the fingerprints.

My 19-5 with Craig Spegel grips ...

>+1 on those Spegel, awsome!

Here is one of my two M-19's.

Pachmayr "Compac" grips do a nice job of taming recoil.

19-4 with vintage Herrett Shooting Stars...

 

[spearcrow]

This is a 19-3 that I got from a good natured uncle. I just love finger groove combats, I bought this set at a gun show and replaced the magnas. Perhaps not quite as good for ccw, but they look good, feel good, and add a great amount of control.

 

[cuad2001]

WOW! Well, you know what they say about variety. Those Ahrends look cool and the Hogues (laminated?) look to be very concealable.

C&L, there is something "Roght" about those smooth magnas and the T-grip.

I'm torn between some of these or just using the T-grip. Maybe I just need to find a second M19...
