I picked up a pretty nice condition used 617 22LR 10 shot the other day, and I'm looking for grip suggestions. It has the factory rubber grips on it, and while they're perfectly functional, I want something that looks better and still have finger grooves.
In my searching though, it seems that a lot of target grips just have smooth edges with a flared base- is there a reason why?
I had a charter arms target pathfinder with old pachmayr gripper grips, and they were great for double action shooting, but I found it hard to adjust my grip to cock the hammer. Don't know if they were too long or too wide...
I've heard the old uncle Mike's grips for the K frame were some of the best, also that the Pachmayr compac and compac pro are pretty good, I also like the look and feel of the renegade checkered in rosewood. I have those on my SP101 and they fit well, feel comfortable, and are not too big for my hand.
I'm just curious what you all have found are good target like grips with finger grooves for the K frame. Why do you like them? I wish they made the pachmayr diamond grips for a square butt, I have a set of those for my SP101 as well, and they're grips and super comfortable.
I like rosewood, I like good rubber grips, I'll probably end up with a couple sets lol.
This gun took a lot of cleaning to get it to look this good- previous owner cleaned the barrel and cylinder well, but there was a lot of lead buildup on the sides of the barrel that i carefully scraped off with a razor blade, then used brass and plastic brushes to clean it off.
