LargerGrips on a 686_ PC

[Whitwabit]

I just got a 686 and the grips feel a bit narrow and would like
to put a pair on that fills my hand better ..

Any suggestions would be very helpful ..

Am mainly looking for a set of wood grips but might consider rubber also .. would like a pair with out finger placement just plane and smooth no checkering ..

Thanks for the HELP !!!!

I am Very fond of Hogue grips

Do those cover the back strap ? They appear they do ..

Will grips for an N Frame fit on a 686 ?? And are they larger in girth then the original grips ?? Altamont has some very nice ones in the N Frame size ..

No, you can't use N-frame grips on your L-frame, but here's the answer to your prayers...

Most of the back strap is uncovered.

Perhaps the bottom 25% or 30% is under wood. Certainly not as much as a RB to SB conversion, but it does fill out at the bottom of the palm.

But those have finger grooves

I used a Dremel sanding wheel to remove the bottom finger groove so that those grips would fit my hand/fingers

Besides, the rubber grips are no wider than the wood grips

Ordered a set from Altamont so should get them in a week or less .. almost a local company for me ..

Trying to figure out how to post a pic from my phone ..
