Anyone use Badger grips? Opinions?

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on 'em?

Thanks,
-Rob

EDIT: We figured they're probably Badger grips. With that in mind, does anyone have have any thoughts or opinions on these style of grips? http://www.badgercustomgrips.com/smith_and_wesson_pistol_grips.php

Pretty sure ( Gripsforguns.com) Ive never actually owned a set (yet) but they sure do look nice about $75-$100 i think

Thanks, guys....they do appear to be Badgers.

Now that we have who made 'em figured out; does anyone have any thoughts on the Badger grips...of any frame size/shape?

These are Badger grips on my 686. All I can say is, I LOVE 'EM.

I had a set of N frame ones that came to me on a used 28-2. I put the same set on a 27-2 and a 58 that I carried for a while. Seemed well made and quite comfortable.

Badger grips have a unique feel and are very high quality. I love them.

I own two and the quality is first rate.

i typically prefer more traditional grips. that said, i have two pairs of badger grips. these fit my hands and revolvers well. they point well for instinctive shooting. mr. badger is a retired policeman and i think his experience is evident in his grips. i live in the south. sweat is just the way it is around here. sweat seems to have NO effect on these grips. just wipe them off with a wet paper towel and they look new. shallow scratches can be polished out pretty easily. they work better with speed strips than speed loaders for me. i have met mr. badger on two occasions. he is a gentleman and is really interested in providing his customers with a quality product.

I don't own any, but I've tried them on a Model 60. They felt great, and they were great looking, but they're just a *bit* too large for concealed carry for me.

On a larger gun they'd be great.

I have a pair of their Smith & Wesson J Round Walnut Boot on my 642. I love the feel, and the bottom of the grip also supports my pinky finger. I did a LOT of research and tried a few other grips before I settled on the Badger for my sometime pocket carry 642.

Here are some poor quality pics, of two very nice sets of Badgers - mounted on a square butt 624 that I no longer own. They are great grips, & Jim makes 'em to fit your hand.

Robinett_11B · Jul 15, 2011

Thanks for all the feedback, and photos, guys...I was a little unsure about the deeper finger grooves. I like how he seems to of built in a place for your pinky on the j-frame models though.

My 629 3" Lew Horton came with badger grips

The wider grip and "deeper finger grooves" gives you a more firm grip for better control.

My Ruger SP101 snub has Badger Boot Grips on, and they are super for concealed carry: no snag on clothing, short profile, finger grooves.

Mine did chip a tiny bit, right as I was firing some pretty stout .357 loads..Jim offered to replace them, but what the heck, they have character now.

Drawback: slick at times, and no three finger grab; the boots force ya to put pinky under grip.. not bad once you practice.

I ordered another set for my M60 snubby.

Will post a pic when I get 'em.

Real nice gun & grips. Not to change the subject, but how brutal is the re-coil when shooting that beauty?

Got the new grips today.

Resurrecting an old thread....
I have two sets of Badger grips. The first set are two-finger-sized rosewood laminate boot grips for my square-butt j-frame. His website lists only a three-finger-sized combat grip for the SB j, but Jim Badger made these up special for me a couple months ago. He didn't charge extra for this, and I had them 5 days after placing the order. You can't ask for better customer service than that.
My other set of Badgers are rosewood boot grips for my round-butt j's, again made up special. His standard boot grip covers and extends just a bit past the butt of the gun, but he made these up with an open butt for slightly easier concealment. Again, no extra charge.
Both grips are very comfortable & handfilling, and damn good looking to boot. I suggested to Jim that he offer the sq butt boot grips as a standard item, since there is a distinct lack of grips options for the sq butt j's-- about the only maker offering them as a standard item seems to be Spegel, and his wait time is several months. I did call Mr Spegel to inquire about a set, and he didn't seem too eager to quote me a time frame or to make a set of grips for me.
I'm glad I called Badger, I'm very pleased with the results.
