S&W 5906 - Grips - Can you put custom grips on it?

[spodwo]

I will soon have a lightly used 5906 and thought I would look into getting some custom grips - wood or other material. Can this be done? It appears that the Hogues have only one screw/pin on the bottom and this grips have tabs to hold them on.

There are some out there but one had two holes on each grip [two per side]. I think these are for the #59 only...

Any one make custom grips for the 5906?

Hogue wooden grips are the only ones I am aware of in that material though I'd love to hear of other options. If they work the same way as on the 45XXs they will fatten the grip noticeably.

The ones with two screw holes are for the previous 1st and 2nd gen guns.

You're going to be limited to Hogue for wood grips.

K&N aka Nill grips out of Germany also makes wood grips. These are thinner than the rather bulky Hogues, but are pricey and require drilling and tapping of the frame. The latter isn't a big deal but at about 2x the price of Hogues, the cost is the problem for most.

Mmmm...to bad about the grips...I wanted some thing with Opus the penguin on it or Snoopy!

I had Hogues on my P226 for awhile. They looked gorgeous and were well made, but were very fat. I wound up selling them on Gun Broker and putting the stock grips back on. I guess Hogues are great if you're looking for nice wood and a fatter grip, just wasn't for me though.

Go to eBay and search for 5906 grips. Can get you a nice $650 set of these:

How do you remove the grips on a 5906 (the newer generation with no grip screws. I haven't had much experience with S&W pistols, only with their fine revolvers.

Punch the pin out at the bottom and pull the grip off.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

These aren't custom, but, they're factory "White Dress Grips" also called "White Parade Grips".
I have only ever seen this one.

Hogue Wood Grips 5906

I put a set on. They are beautiful grips, but really do fatten the grip.

I have short fingers, but no problem with fat grips.

How much "fatter" are the Hogue wooden grips compared to the Hogue rubber grips?

 

[VTHokiesDuckHunter]

I've thought about those Hogue grips also for one of my
5906's or 4013/14's.

I wonder if you could sand down the side facing the grip frame and make them slimmer, or if that would make them too thin structurally?

The local range had a rental 3913LS with silver or grey factory grips. Maybe, just maybe, they were white ones that were evenly dirty, but I doubt it.

I've been hunting around the internet for a few days looking for those grips. I don't think S&W makes them anymore since I haven't seen them in their store.

The 3913 Lady Smith had similar grips, grey I believe. But it would be nice to find white grips for a SS finish.

Hydrographic or Wood grips

Here are the before and after pictures of the 5906 grips.
1. Original factory grips
2. Hydrographic Mahogany
3. Hydrographic Black Stripe Grain
4. ???? possibly Hydrographic Dark Walnut?

Can anyone tell me if #4 is real wood or Hydrographic? If you go to their website it kinda looks like their dark walnut (Wood Grain set 2). Anyone know if S&W ever produced a real wood grip? Thanks Hydrographic Printing by Hydro Print Services

PS if I used your picture I am sorry I just cut and pasted what I found here and on the internet.

 

[novalty]

Looks hydro to me given the dimples on the grip.

Pic2 is my 5906 with Hydroprinted grips. No prob on using the pic. Pics 3 and 4 are; I believe, original S&W grips for a special stocking dealers run. More of a decal than anything else. One I saw you could see it peeling away. IM me if you want info on the set I have.
