What do you guys think of these new Pachmayr grips?

[tj1371x]

I came across these on Pachmayr's website. They say they will be out May of this year. Can't figure out if I like me or not. Ordered a set of the American Legends for my 1911, and I'm debating if I want a set of these for my 6" 686, which currently wears a set of deccelorators for the range. Thoughts?

They look like a Bubba special .
Big thumbs down .

As they say......"form follows function." Perhaps they function well and (in my opinion) just aren't very attractive.

I have an older set that looks very much like those, combination wood with rubber overlay. Took them off and they live in the shoe box of rejects. Perfect condition, want to buy them?

If you insist on wearing galoshes, make sure they fit.

They don't look too bad, but I always thought they made the legend series backwards. Maybe its just me but my guns recoil to the rear, so the rubber should be on the back.

Ha, I guess they're getting no love then.

I'd much rather a design like Ruger used to use on their revolvers in years past - wood panels on the sides of the stock, with rubber up front for maximum grip and in the rear for recoil absorption.

 

[Hapworth]

Not for me.

In a word UGLY, in two words VERY UGLY...

Yeah, I always liked that design. I'm still waiting for VZ to make K/L frame G10 grips. Someday I guess.

I wouldn't put a pair those on my gun if they were FREE! Butt ugly.

I've read that the old Yugo auto plant in Yugoslavia was converted to a pistol grip factory.

Had a pair a long time ago when they first came out and the wood had a nicer "blonde" look to it but it felt weird in the hand and the soft rubber insert were the grip screw deteriorated quickly. Just threw them out. Shouldve spent the money on factory wood when it was cheap and plentiful

Not much...

Wow, this puts a new meaning into "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Looks like duct tape stuck on wood grips.....
