617 grip suggestions

Another vote for Hogue. On my 617-1.

I was wondering what 617-? you have . Most 10 shot cylinder guns were round butt . If it's round you would be looking at round to square butt conversions when looking at various manufacturers grips . Hogue,Altamonts, and Ahrends have really good selections.

It is a round butt... I didn't realize it till I got my square butt hogue grips, and realized there's a huge gap in the frame... I looked it up and sure enough, al the 617's I believe are round butt. Makes finding grips a little easier.

When I was cleaning it, the bottom of the frame was flat, so I thought it was square butt, but I should know better- I had square butt J-frame and it was really square lol.


I have a feeling I'm gonna have 3 or 4 sets of grips for this guy

My opinion:
Finger grooved are overrated. They rarely fit my hand.
You don't need checkering to hang on to a 22.

Get some Culinas. They're worth it.

I like the look of finger grooves. They feel good to.

Ahrend's Tactical Fingergrooves for me. Sad he is no longer in business but his grips are out there.
