Post your favorite S&W revolver GRIPS

I'm partial to smooth targets...

Very nice pics of very nice guns and grips!

No pics, but it completely depends on the gun. I really like the factory S&W wood combat grips, they look fantastic and are great on all guns except the .44 mag's, IMO. I really prefer Hogue monogrips on 44's.

I tried to order a set of these last week for an N-frame. They're all gone and I had to back order. Don't know how long it's going to be before I get them. They look good though.

Snowbandit,
You might want to call them with your order number and check on it.

I called and ordered three sets of these this morning. The FedEx tracking number has already been E-mailed to me and I expect the package on Tuesday.

These are my favorite to look at but my most unfavorite to shoot.

Nothing really special, but for me these target grips turned my Model 13 into a different gun.

My newest set, courtesy of S&W for 48.00. Lit the snubby 657 off last evening. Was really surprised at how well they handled the 18 210 gr. Speer Gold Dots and was really happy with my light reloads. Was wearing Ahrends before this as the factory combats are nice looking but are absolutely horrible grips when it comes to a hard recoiling magnum. A good sanding session does help but ruins their value. I like em very much. They are great CC grips as they are thin width wise but very secure to hold onto.

Thanks exfebee for the line on them!

The new Altamont grips aren't too bad, slim profile is good for CC.

I like to keep them with stock factory grips, to some of my my "shooters" I added T-Grips. I have tried a lot of the "exotic" wood grips but ended up going back to Magnas and Targets. I tend to experiment more with "bling" on my grips with my Rugers, of course many of my S&W's are beat up ex-PD guns, so a set of $200 Nil Griffe grips wouldn't be right on a busted up looking Model 10.

I know one thing, I can't stand rubber grips on a revolver. Sure they may add "control" but I'll keep shooting with wood.

Secret, Unlisted S&W Stocks?

What's the deal with these?
I want a pair! Are they available only to selected insiders? is there a secret, unlisted stock number?
A special code to enter in the S&W voicemail?

My 625-3 NEEDS these..

Sir,

I found out about them on the "N Frame grips on a L Frame post" in this area of the forum. Called S&W Customer Service with the info from the post I mentioned for the unadvertised grips and they had two pairs left. I wish I would have bought both as they are FANTASTIC for the 52.00 which included shipping IMS. Last I heard they were waiting for more to come in. They are made by Altamont(sp) for S&W. They look way better in person and so does the 657. I just suck at taking pics.

These grips looked like thay would hurt. I had to trim the screw as it was to long and slapped em on and commenced to firing it on the firing line for an evening qualification shoot. It handled the snappy Gold Dots with ease. My light reloads felt like shooting a 4" 686 with .38's. Very secure grip and the 657 points well with them. There is a gap on the bottom of the backstrap if you look at the pics. Was concerned about that but after firing it with the magnums was really surprized on how well they fit my small hand and absorbed the recoil. I can live easily with that gap and the price is way better than the way overpriced combats.

I'm going back for another pair for my 6" 57 thats getting my version of a Jovino makeover. I abhor the S&W Combat Grips for shooting hard recoiling rounds as they litreally chew my hands up and the FG's do not fit my fingers. These on the other hand fith like the proverbial glove.

Your already beautiful 625 will look fantastic with these! That is my next S&W BTW. Tom Turner has a beautiful 25-2 that he made over and it's a beaut. Happy shopping and please let me know via PM if they have any left.

Just put these on my 686 no dash today.

 

[Snowbandit]

I ordered a set of the ones Altamont is making for S&W and didn't like them at all. They're a round to square conversion style that just doesn't fit my hand well at all. Sent them back and got these combat magnums in rosewood. Much better.

I use a Passport shoulder holster for scoped handguns, works for the 627, and the SBH.
