New non-FG rubber Hogue grips:)

I just put these Round to Square conversion grips on my 64-7, I don't always like finger groove grips because they keep me from getting a good high grip.

This gun is a shooter and didn't need wood, for $16 I figured I'd try these new Hogues. I don't need all my guns to be "pretty"

They have no "pebbling" at all, just smooth rubber. They're very tacky which will probably wear off with use.

They're not pretty but they feel good, and still leave the gun with a "utilitarian" look. They also feel thinner than standard Hogues.

Hogue makes a non-FG wood grip so I guess they decided to make a rubber version. I wouldn't be surprised to see these as OEM grips on some Smiths in the near future. I think they also make them for the N frame RB.

It seems like these are geared toward 686's and stuff like that used for competition. Just a no frills functional grip for those who just need something that works and hate FG's.

Don't know if they still make them but I really liked the nylon Hogue's. Yours do look nice though.

My favorite grip! Not a fan of finger grooves and I happened to spot these in a Midway add a few years ago. About every time I go to the range somebody will ask were I got the grip.

A few years I didn't know they were around that long.

They look great on that 686, I think they were designed with that gun in mind.


I don't know if Hogue ever made a RB to SB conversion Nylon, but Midway sells a SB version. The only RB Nylon is the smaller version.
I'm a huge fan of Hogue Nylons but the only one I wasn't crazy about was the S&W RB K/L frame nylon. I felt like they forced my hand TOO high on the grip, like my hand was almost on the hammer after 1 shot. I do like them in rubber.
