Badger grips

This is probably a repeat thread but I'm game...

I've add Badgers to a few more since this was taken, but you get the idea.

OK...

Posted before, but what the heck. My 629-4 and 686-4 PC Quadports with Badgers (stock on the 629, added on the 686):

I don't have any S&Ws with Badgers, but here are a couple of Colts that wear them proudly. Up top is a Trooper MK III (357 mag) wearing walnut with gold medallions. The bottom is a Detective Special (38 special) wearing rosewood with silver medallions.

Posted this before but have since sold the badgers. For j frames I shoot best with magnas. These looked killer though.

Hey, That looks like my gun! Oh,mine has a hole in the side.

Here are my Badger grips, oldies but goodies, sadly I no longer have the 19-5.

Have them on my 60 right now, had them on my 686 that I sold (like the idiot that I am) and my sp101 that I sold. Will keep getting them on all my revolvers! PS to all those who read this, it's worth the extra $$ for the emblems IMO.

I'm getting back into revolvers, and want to know what the advantages/disadvantages are to having smooth grips. All the Badgers don't have checkering. Thanks.

...want to know what the advantages/disadvantages are to having smooth grips.

One disadvantage to having rough checkering on the grips is in shooting magnum lightweight revolvers with high recoil, like the Sc frame &/or Ti cylinder models. They just eat your hand up.

And, if you CC, your covering garment can get hung up on the checkering, just as it can on rubber grips. That can be an important consideration if you are able to carry concealed. Inadvertent exposure or printing is something to strive to avoid if you are serious about CCW.

I have found that grips that fit your hand well don't need an aggressive texture to keep the firearm properly indexed to your hand. The trick is to find the right grip, shape and size, and that can be a lot of T&E. The Badgers work well for me, as do Ahrends "tactical" revolver grips.

I was told when I bought my 640 that it came with Badger grips, so I can't be 100% sure, but they look nice!

Here's my 642 before I took them off. This boot style has a bulge on the right half, which caused the front sight to be off by about 1/8 inch to the left within the sight radius when point shooting. Not good for a CCW.

That's too bad they didn't fit your hand properly. They look great on your 642. Thank you for sharing the pic.

Yesterday did my weekly LGS rounds. Found these diamond pearl insert grips in the case! Like new! $40!

I'll get a better pic later, but my M&P 340 now wears walnut Badger boot grips.
