Hogue woods were lonesome!

[wproct]

I had a pair of Hogue tulipwood grips that I have had for several years that needed something to be mounted to. I found something to wear them at the gunshow on Sunday! 686-4, a real handful of snubby.

Nice.
To my eyes, Hogue's wood grips look better than their rubber grips.
Those look about perfect on that L frame, BTW.

Nice score on the 686 snubby. I really like Hogue wood and have their grips on quite a few guns including an L frame or two.
The short 686 is on my list, just never find one priced within reason.

Thanks for the compliments. Kind of second guessing myself right now, as another revolver that I was considering that day was a very nice pinned 66-1 with box & tools. Oh well, I will not be carrying this, and the L frame will be very comfortable to shoot.

Very nice combo. Thanks for the photo's and love those grips.

Great looking gun and grips. I just ordered a set of Hogue Tulip Bantam grips for my 3" 629. I was hoping the Tulip wouldn't be too light in color. Good timing on your post! What style are the ones you have?

Frank, sorry 'bout that. I realized I'd hit the wrong button 1 second too late. Have a good one!

WPROCT.......Man I like the way you think ! 'Just happen to have this set of grips looking for something to put it on'.......
I've got a couple of boxes of ammo that I do not have revolver for ! I'm just going to go out and get myself a Christmas present...(or two)
Anyway......that's a great looking 686.......ya done good son !.....

These were the round K/L frame finger groove full size combat grips. I just really like the Hogue Tulipwood grips, I have 3 sets of them. I hope you will be very happy with yours.

wproct, What a great lookin' couple, they were made for each other. Very nice!

I'm sure I will. I have Hogue monogrips on my 629 6 1/2" Classic and love 'em! I was back and forth on the color and length. Whatever the case, I know they'll be a HUGE improvement compared to the stock Talo "shredders"!

Either one is a good choice.
Great thing about the L frame you got is you can shoot the snot out of it with full power magnum ammo.
If you so choose, that is.

Those look great! I may get a set of those for my 686 snubby and save the factory finger groove grips.

I find the factory grips to be somewhat uncomfortable to shoot as they don't fit my hand.

Great choice...
