[alwaysoutdoors]

Hello.

I am looking for some wooden grips for my 686 round butt. What are my options both new and used? Thanks!

These are Houge's for a round butt on my 686. Don

Your options are many, since K-frame round-butt grips will fit on your L-frame 686.

I happen to like Ahrends "Tactical" finger-groove grips...

Round-butt:

Round-to-Square conversion:

I also like S&W's Magna grips:

Not asking for much, right ?

I'd suggest Ahrends, but that's because I like them and they work for me.

I second the Ahrends finger groove, round to square conversion grips. I have a set on the way for my M-66 2.5 incher.

+1 for the Ahrends.
I have them on several guns.

By the way, if your original grips are wood, keep them.
Original S&W grips go for big bucks on ebay.

That is an A+++++ response, and one of the reasons this is about the only gun board I go to for information. The membership and ownership here is way above what is commonly found at other sites.

I have and like the Ahrends tactical finger grooves. My hand slides nicely on and they feel great in hand. I also have the Hogue Bantam grips for concealed carry and I like these as well especially when shooting high power loads. The rubber absorbs the sting much better than the wood, at least for me. I have other types but these 2 work best for me. I have a friend that can palm a basketball and poke you in they eye from across the room with his fingers and he prefers the square but conversions.

Oops, left out one of the best:

Some offshore grips from ebay. Very nice wood and fit well. Backstrap is completely covered.

Thanks to everyone who responded publicly and privately. I gained knowledge which was my goal.
