Do these grips make me look fat ?

[BAM-BAM]

Well if it works for you go for it.

Back in the 80s I took 3/8" off the bottom of some target grips ..... really reduces the overall bulk and still left me with a full grip. I wear a medium glove.

Course back then every LGS had boxes of $5 wood grips........


Rubber options are Pachmayr Compac or Compac Professional or Uncle Mike Boot Grips

Nope. Makes the gun look tiny.

IMO a 2" snub with Targets looks ridiculous. A 3.5" N frame looks slightly less so but still bad to my eye.

While I stick with magnas and a Tyler-T adapter for my 66 snubby, fat guns need love, too. If it fits your hand best, and gives you good accuracy and confidence, go with it.

LOL....really though, I like to carry my 10-5 but, I always found the maga type grips too small, not very comfortable. So the other day I found a set of targets in the back of the safe for a K frame, hmm, I tried them on, very nice firm feel, I like them even though I know that they don't belong on a 2" revolver. They may be large but fit my hand great. What say the hive? Sorry for the bad picture but I'm not a pro.

To answer the title of your post,
Yes.

That poor M10 looks fat butted and pin headed with those targets on it. -S2

It looks kinda funny, but if you can live with it, who cares?

I don't have large hands, and K frame targets are second only to the BHP as far as feeling good in my hand.

What's the problem with 33" wheels on a Corvette?

Looks good to me.
I wear an extra large glove and little dinky grips don't work very well for me.

If it is a carry gun as you stated, it won't matter how it looks because no one will see it. Then again if you have to draw down on a perp he will probably laugh til he pisses his pants and runs away. No shots fired. That a win in my book.

Oh, I disagree. I think he'll give up willingly, just so he can ask you all about your gun - so he can go out later and steal one of his own.

a trimmed set of targets would be better. I need a set of grips that come up a little higher to cover up a pitting line left by rubber grips. And as I told my ex, its the fat that makes you look fat.

The grips on my Model were made from out of a set of Herrett square butt checkered targets. Takes some work, but worth it. Post #28. Bob

I thought I'd try some Sq Butt Combats.

And then some Sq Butt Rubbers.

And a Pachmayr Grip Adapter.

Take an old set of targets and modify them to your liking.

Here is a case of big grips on a small gun a I frame 22

 

[pileit]

Magnas are okay for little hands. I like targets on anything I carry look good too.

If you are carrying concealed. you might as well carry a 4" M19. You will get more power and a better sight radius with the M19. The size and shape of the gun butt dictates how well you a handgun "hides' beneath cover clothing.

If you are carrying in the open, by all means use the most comfortable grip you can find, regardless of shape or size.

When needed for self defense, the muzzle is most likely demanding the threat's attention and what grips you have on it matter not!

As said above, a Tyler with magnas fits me to a T. (nyuk, nyuk)
