Show Your Aftermarket 686 grips...please. :)

Have a new to me 686-5 Plus in 4" coming this week and am looking for pics of what others have tried in the way of "new shoes" for theirs.

If you could share a pic, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The 4", to me, does not look all that good with Combats on them, just a personal thing, as is my detesting rubber grips. So...save your Pach Pics if you will (or show them, why not) .

Just trying to get a feel for what the options look like. Any assistance appreciated and thanks in advance.

Awesome "L's" folks. Thanks.

Keep em coming.

Does anyone know if Spegal makes a conversion RB to SB, extended and checkered? Just curious. They're kind of pricey but...they're Spegels.

Anyone got a Collin's gripped L ?

Thanks to all who responded, GREAT pics, even cell phone ones (I should be the one to apologize, I take really crappy pics).

Here's my 4-inch with Ahrends grips.

3-inch 686 Plus with a set of Herrett's Cocobolos............

Same gun with the Pachmayr "Compac", my preferred CCW grip which I have on several 357's

And with a set of Spegels that now reside on my duty revolver. They're too nice NOT to wear at work!

 

[RADAR 1]

Hogue's on mine...

Thanks Gents!!!

Anymore pics out there? Getting lots of great ideas on where I'm taking this one. Leaning at the moment toward Ahrends due to pricing but...those Spegel's and Hogue's may prompt a change of heart/mind/wallet. Sure are purdy.

Please don't think Ahrends are low quality for the price. The fit and finish are right there with the best. You would have to send your gun in for a more precise level of fit.

Please don't take my statement as a knock on Ahrend's products. I own several and the fit/finish is top notch...but they are more "aggressive" in price than the other two I mentioned.

What I'm looking for is to see how others look prior to making a purchase.
