T grips arrived today

dr. mordo · Mar 19, 2018

I love grip adapters, but have found the extra clip on BK grips to be a significant improvement.

One gun that I really didn't like with a grip adapter is my 686. I find the 686 to be the most awkward handling gun I own, and so far the only grip I like on it is the Pachmayr Compac Pro. I actually was about to sell it before I got the Pachmayr and it started to fit my hand better. I think the rubber front strap helps offset the top heavy balance of the L frame. I'll add that the Compac Pro is just about the perfect approximation of magnas and a t-grip, and it boggles my mind why someone doesn't make a wood version of it.

A better pic of my M29:

Here's a pic of the 686 PC with the t-grip before I moved to the Pachmayr:

I love the Barami Hip-Grips for my J-frames for the convenience of pocket carry, but the ergonomics are terrible. The Tyler grip adapters shown here make them more hand-filling and comfortable to shoot.

How about an old T Grip with a newer gun?

Along with a great set of elk stocks by forum member bgmtnman!! I like the looks and the feel in the hand!! Sort of a BBQ pocket gun.

Best Regards, Les

Tyler T grip, Gen 2

That's a nice Gen 1 in post 31, here's my nicest Gen 2. Still has the 2 digit postal code, but no "Melvin" stamp.

This is good to know. I need to order two brushed aluminum ones for a square butt M64 and a round butt M65.

Sent the order and check on the 20th. The wait begins.

I got mine in about a week.

Never a fan of the Tyler adapters - always thought different grips to be a better solution. However, I acquired one that came on a 2.5” 66. Liking the retro look, I’ve yet to remove it.

That looks very nice!! I love the blued snub RB 10's and the blued snub 19's. They look awesome with T grips. Once I finally get mine I want to put a polished brass t grips on mine. I love that look of polished brass with the blued finish and wood look all contrasting each other!

Without the T grips (or other similar), guns with service or magna type grips are very uncomfortable for me to shoot. The ergonomics are terrible.

From what I've seen and read, it seems as though most people agree with you. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who loves magnas without a T grip. I want one because they look ocool, but the J frame square butt and K frame RB or SB feel so wonderful in my hands with just the magna grips. I think they are made just exactly right. I. 6'1"/175 lbs, so my hands are pretty big too, but those magnas just fit my hands so absolutely perfect. When I started buying revolvers, I really thought most people would like them as well, but I was very mistaken to find most do not. I wonder why it is some hate them and some love them? Difference of opinion I'm sure, but it's crazy, one man's dislike is another man's love. Weird ain't it? I put up a thread about this very topic and was glad to find I'm not the only one who loves them, but I just wonder why so many people don't like them. I know all the reasons, I've heard them all I'm sure, but I just wonder how some could like them so much and others feel the complete opposite. To each their own.

Check cashed on the 26th.

Surprised no one posted photos of their S&W grip adapters that were probably sold in the 1960s-1970s, believe Pachmayr made them for S&W. I have a couple S&W grip adapters with original boxes, one of them is on my M36. If I remember right they came in three sizes, small/medium/large.

I can only say I hope you don't remove the grips! I am a bit biased as I LOVE magna grips passionately! I really dig the look with the T grip as well. I started to fall in love with the old revolvers about a year ago and during that time I was actually really surprised to see how many people took the magnas off in favor of aftermarket grips, especially rubbers. To each their own, and I wouldn't try to change anyone's mind, but as I started looking into these guns I sincerely feel that they are as classic as the guns themselves. They are so simple and yet so cool looking. I have larger hands and they fit my hands really well even without the T grip. I personally feel that the target grips are almost too big. I like to be able to wrap my hand all the way around the grip. J frame round butt Smiths are a little on the smaller side, but square butt J frames are a perfect fit and anything bigger as well. I guess maybe I'm sentimental or something but your gun looks amazing to me just the way it is. Very nice gun!
