VZ revolver grips

[BCDWYO]

Don't get me wrong, I'll always prefer beautiful wooden stocks for revolvers, but I liked the VZ grips for semiautos and was curious about their revolver grips so I ordered a couple pairs. I have to admit that I like them for a carry gun. Here they are on a square butt L-frame 686 and a round butt N-frame 327 Nightguard. At least they look better than rubber!



I've shot with both and they are comfortable and fit my medium hand well. Anyone else have opinions or photos?

Look good to me, but my EDC wears Pachmayrs.

I like them. I ordered a pair for my 4 inch 686 which is my range use/desk gun and I really got used to their feel. My Ahrends stayed off and I'm considering a pair for my 625.

I just wish they made a finger grove less round butt to square butt conversion. That would be awesome!

 

[BAM-BAM]

I have several pairs on autos.........

BCD could you post a picture of the bottom so we could get an idea of the thickness/shape.......

Are they flared like factory target stocks?

Looks like they extend about 1/4 inch below the grip frame?

On my 329ng the grips are fingergroove that cover the back strap rubber . it Makes the grip a little too big for my hands . Are the vzs smaller to accommodate my size hands?

I was hoping John at VZ would add finger grooves to the square butt K&L grips.

I did not know if I would like the VZ grips or not, when I saw them. But, they fit my hand, are very grippy, and I like them.

I was very happy to find out VZ came to their senses to make S&W K/L framed grips. I have two sets on semi-autos and love the look and feel of them. They had a sale over the July 4th weekend so I decided to take advantage and give them a try. I bought a set of the tactical diamonds for my round butt 64-2. I've had one range day with them and I like them a lot. I might have to get another set for my 586 now.

Wow, glad I ran across this post. Reminded me that VZ is not just for my 1911's! Been looking for an alternative to my Hogues on my 629-4 and 29-5. They have the same profile to each other and I think I'll try a set myself. OP and others, the Revos look great!

All of my revolvers were wearing Ahrends grips.

After seeing the VZ K-frame grips, I decided to give them a try. I have them on my 4" 66-6 that's set-up for IDPA SSR. I was thinking they'd be more durable in match conditions than wood.

I wasn't sure I liked them at first. They are slimmer and shorter front to back than the Ahrends grips. But, I have to admit they're growing on me...

I like them...here they are on my 657 3" .41 Magnum.

They make a great product! I have them on my CZ75B and my compact CZ75 pcr. I might consider them for a revolver now!

How aggressive is the checkering? These may work nicely on my 686+ 3"!

BCD WYO...... thanks for the added pictures!!

I'm glad to read I'm not the only one that finds these grips a bit small. If you have big mitts you might not like these. I like them well enough but mine required a bit of easy fitting in the back. They extended just beyond the grip frame enough with a sharp edge I thought for sure they would slice my hand open. Easy fix though. And the checkering is super aggressive. I may end up sanding the points off just a bit. A sweaty hand on a long range session might see your skin parting your body.

I had a pair on my 625 and they looked great and they were comfortable when shooting. I have rather large hands and they didn't fill my hand as well as Pachmyar Decelerators so I went back to the Pachmyars and sold them. Beautiful grips though.

They offer checkered or smooth, but I would rate the checkering on the K/L grips shown above as very aggressive.

Thanks! Thinking about these for my 3" 686+, debating between 320s and checkered.

Thanks! Thinking about these for my 3" 686+, debating between 320s and checkered.

Yeah...I went back and forth. I wish I could have tried them both before buying.

I ended up getting the 320's. My one set is on a 4" 66-6 intended for IDPA matches.

I wasn't sure I wanted a real aggressive grip. The 320's aren't as smooth as my various Arhends wood grips but they aren't 'grippy' either.
