Modern grips

[Joe S.]

I have a Model 19 modified into a PPC gun that has some duct taped, foam palm swelled Hogue grips on it. Just really takes away from the looks of the gun. I want to put a nice laminate grip on it. I LOVE the NU grips I have for my R8, but don't see where those are offered for the K square frames. What are similar options? Hogue offers the JM grips in K square, but i wonder if the non checkered grips are a good option for such a barrel heavy gun. Could ya share pics of what you use? Only interested in the modern day laminate/ G10 type grips. No Targets/ Combats/ or Hogue/ Pachmyer rubber grips please. If I go with any traditional style grip, it will be the Hogue Big Butt grips.

I find G10 stocks to be a little slippery feeling
I have a pair of hogue round/square conversion finger groove G10 on my 4 1/4" 686
I have the same grips in smooth hardwood and chequered hardwood on other revolvers
Prefer the hardwood

Thanks for the reply. I definitely want checkered I think with whatever i go with. Just think that would help with managing the gun.

Im not sure if your asking me or o.p.
Coco bolo , pau ferro ,black walnut and others
Even the smooth hardwood has decent traction in the hand but the chequered ones feel welded

VZ grips should have something to fit your needs

Once they were available, I always used the Davis rubber grips that I modified by taking out the finger groove. They were very popular, also Hogue rubber grips were on a lot of guns. May not be the prettiest but sure work well in that hot MS. climate.
