Badger Grips

[CCantu357]

Another question about grips, and I am really not sure where a grip question goes so I will give this a shot. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with his grips and how they are. I have searched on here about them but haven't got many posts about them, other than they look amazing.

I believe the grips on my Colt DS are Badger. It came with rubbers and I found these at a pawn shop for cheap. They fit and feel very good and look a lot better than black rubber.

I like them.

I used to have Badger Boot grips on my Ruger SP101 snub.

During my very first range trip with them...shooting full-house .357 rounds...they immediately developed a chip in them...

This was caused by the area where the grip frame is very sharp-edged on the Ruger (near the top, where one's hand would go when using a high-hold grip)...

Jim Badger offered to replace them, no problem, no hassle..just drop them in the mail...

I loved them so much that I couldn't live without them for the turn-around time, and so just lightly sanded the rough chipped area and kept them on.

For the Ruger, which has an odd-shaped grip frame, they changed the grip angle, which was a good thing for me, as the angle was aggressive and pointed "right on" for me.

I would recommend the grips, but keep in mind that they are laminated wood, not solid wood. (some say this is better, as it soaks up more recoil)

My old Cobra with the Badger Boot grip. Very concealable, and shootable. Looks like I need a pair for my 640.

I have an older set of Badger grips, which are made from solid cocobolo. They feel great, I love the shape of these with the heavy palm swell on the right and the left side almost flat. They dress up my 19 when it doesn't have Uncle Mikes, or targets on it. Excuse the poor pictures, my photography skills need help

I love my set of badger full size silver black grips for my gp100, the first set after shooting full load 357's caused the grips to losen up or something and had play in them and called Jim and sent me a piece to fix it and it still did not work and then told me to send them back and he will send me another set, and these were perfect. Jim stands behind his grips, A+ in my book and his grips are beautiful.

They look great, seem similar to the old factory combat grips. I usually prefer real wood to laminate but these look good better shaped than Hogue. Though lately his website has been down, been trying to go to it for days!

I have 4 pair of Jim Badger's grips in DuPont Corian and really do like them. They are well made and fit my hands well. They are on my S&W 500 Mag., S&W 44 Mag. 629, S&W M&P 360, and my Ruger Old Army black power revolver. Bill
