Ergo J frame Delta grip.

Superglue

This delta grip is magic !
Mod.60-9 357 s/w j frame .158gr. 357 fed.ammo does not hurt hand! All who tried my rev. Were amazed. A ruger 100 my cousin brought was much less controlable. I stumbled into this site by accident,and registered only to share this super find.
Hope ya'll can over look it's precieved lack of beauty.
It looks better to me every time I shoot with it.
Beauty is in the hand of the beholder.
Peace through strength.

Well, I've had it for a month or so and put a couple of hundred rounds or so through a Model 442 wearing them.

There are worse grips. I have a box full of them. (I've been shooting J-Frames since 1991. I have nearly as many J-frame holsters.) I have slightly larger than average hands. I wear large size gloves. These grips, for me, should either expose the backstrap so that I can get up high in the backstrap like a Centennial or Bodyguard was meant to be gripped, or come up higher on the frame with the covered backstrap so that, once again, you can get up as high as possible to control recoil. This of course, requires two versions of the grip--one for Centennials & Bodyguards, and one for model 36 pattern guns.

But, I understand that from a business perspective that one size probably has to fit all for the price.

Is it worth it? My opinion is yes, if you are shooting the 15 ounce alloy frame guns. It makes them quite comfortable for a couple hundred rounds at the range. I'll be keeping mine on my 442. For steel frame guns I would stick with the boot style grips. The extra five to nine ounces makes all the difference in shootability.
 
It looks....not so good.....but if it shoots good that's what it is all about. I never liked Captain Kirks faser but it worked so good.
 
So, beyond the comfort and control issue, how fast is your purchase in quick acquisition for presentation from the holster? Does it take any extra time to get hold of the gun for deployment?

That is where the rubber meets the road for me. As you all know, a J Frames sole intent and purpose in life is as a carry gun, so does this grip negate or lessen its efficiency in this?
 
Looks to me like a reincarnation of Fuzzy Ferrant's concept.I will try them. I agree that they would look better in exotic wood but, they may not work as well as "goodyears" for recoil control.Meanwhile,as the flea said when he bit the elephant in the "nether region", "everyone to his own taste".

I can't tell much difference in speed. My hand contorts in a variety of ways. It's all in the manner in which you train yourself. These days I rarely carry a J-Frame. When I do it's on an ankle or in a pocket. As with any rubber grips, the more you use them the smoother and less tacky they become. Tacky is the issue for me. It's both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that the gun can be shot from a variety of half-*** grips in a hurry. A curse in that it can stick to the inside of a pocket and slow down the draw. Use, sweat, lubes and solvents all remove the excessive tacky from rubber holsters in a short time.
 
Anyone else besides manufacturer selling these?

I want to try these but I just can't pay the ridiculous shipping cost that the manufacturers wants. Unless they are being hand carried to my house by a playboy bunny, I'll buy them elsewhere!

Still looking for Ergo grips...

I'm still looking for these grips from someone with reasonable shipping charges. Anyone seen them anywhere?

I handled a prototype last year at the NRA show and I liked the way it felt on the blue gun. I was trying to get a set to do a T&E, but sort of dropped the ball on that. I'll be back later this week and will be talking to the rep again.

I have to tell you that they felt really comfortable, but of course I wasn't firing them. I have a 642 and shooting it is not at all pleasant and I've tried a number of grips over the years.

If this is as comfortable shooting as it is just holding on a blue gun, they should sell a lot of them.

The shipping costs are pretty high considering how much the grips cost. I wonder if someone did a group buy they would bundle the shipping costs?

I'm not suggesting a group buy, but I will see what the rep has to say when I talk to him.
 
The more I use these grips, the more I like them. They cushion recoil pretty well on an Airweight, and are very comfortable and controllable. I'm going to spend some more time with them at the range alongside my Airweights with Altamont grips http://www.altamontco.com/experimental/shared/photos/SJR-FO07.jpg and evaluate them. But, so far, these are a winner once you get past the unorthodox shape.
 
Hi. New to the forums but certainly not new to Smith & Wessons. I was about to order a set of these a few minutes ago, but like a previous poster, the shipping cost turned me off. IMHO, good old USPS shipping for 3 or 4 bucks would be fine. I hate to spend what amounts to about 2/3 the cost of the grips just to get them to me. I'm sure eventually somebody else will offer these for sale. I hope so anyway.
 
Brownells has them for less than the Ergo Grip site. Price is $16.00, plus shipping.

The Ergo Grip people told me that Brownells, Midway, and soon Optics Planet will be stocking them. I think they keep the price high so as not to undercut their retail partners.

I called Ergo to order mine. They have been fixing a shipping error on their website. They said it should be changed soon, but that if you call they can ship it US Postal for around $6.
 
They have fixed the shipping issue. I ordered a set middle of the week and paid the high shipping costs. Two days later I received an email crediting my account for $8.02. The set arrived today by USPS Priority Mail. Not happy with the look but they are very comfortable in the hand. Will be shooting with them tomorrow on my 640-1.
 
I tried the Ergo grips. I put 100 rounds of mixed ammo through my 640-1 this morning with good results. The grips are ugly as a horned toad but very comfortable in my small hands. The draw presentation is a little different because of the added material under the triggerguard but it was really not an issue and the sights were dead on every time I drew. Accuracy was excellent. Perceived recoil was less with my 158 grain home rolled swc's and the Speer Gold Dot SB's I normally carry. My real surprise came when shooting Speer 158 grain .357's. I have tried shooting magnums in this gun on two occasions with two different types of grips . Each time I pulled the trigger once and said, "no more"! I thought I had broken my thumb and the cylinder latch took a divot out of that digit. I fired 10 magnum rounds though the gun today. The recoil was noticeable but not painful and recovery for a second shot was easy. I don't know that I'll carry magnums but now I know I can. I believe the Ergo Grips at least for me are a keeper.:)

I posted my experience in a similar, but different thread. I found my 642 much more comfortable to shoot with the Delta Grips. Because of that, my accuracy at 21 feet increased significantly, particularly my grouping.

Since I pocket carry my 6423 and it's a sort of last ditch self defense gun, I don't care much how it looks.

I asked at one point and one of the reps said that they do have some plans to make them in different colors. I don't now if that will help, but it probably won't hurt.

I have a friend who has a 442 who is an infrequent shooter. He doesn't like the recoil of the 442 and I want him to try shooting my 642 to see how much better he does with it.

I've got a set on my Model 36. I hate the way they look, still not used to their feel, but they work. They make a J frame much easier to handle while shooting.
 
A forum member said on a different thread that it looks like a gun Batman would have. Ugly but very functional.
