New Ahrend K frame banana grips

[bronco45]

Considering the purchase of a set of the aforementioned grips for a Model 19-4 2.5". Anyone purchased a set of these, and if so, how do you like them. Anyone with photos?

Appreciate your interest!

If you are looking for concealment stocks on K-frame snubbies, I recommend this Ahrends style. Very comfortable and concealable, secure grip, handle recoil well. I use nothing else on concealment K and N frames with round-handled frames. I have some factory "banana" grips, but they project too much for best concealment. These don't "print" at all.

Paladin, are those the banana style, or the retro combat style grips?

Below are examples of Ahrends round (no fg) and round to square conversion (w fg) cocobolo grips on my 629s (N-frame). The rounded (no fg) 4" is a fast grab with little printing, so equipped, and a memorable one with real Magnums (Fine with Specials!).

Below is that 4" 629, again, this time sporting Ahrends Retro Target grips with my 696 and it's favorite square conversion grips, both grips in cocobolo and having no fg's:

Below is my 296 sporting the S&W 'Service Boots' bought for my 2" 10, who got them back quickly - they are miserable on a 296. The 696 is just a ham, I'm sorry!

All of the Ahrends K/L and N frame grips are close in external dimensions. Hope this helps.

Would these grips be an improvement over the stock grips on my Thunder Ranch .44 Special ? The stock grips feel skinny to me .

IMHO, Yes. The finger groove Ahrends are very comfortable. Matter of fact, I'm trying to get them on all of my S&W's.
