What do you guys think of these new Pachmayr grips?

[JayFramer]

Early April fools joke?

Because that's how silly/ugly these look.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

They do look funny.
Will not preorder!

Yeah. Think I'm gonna stick with the wooden ones I already got then lol.

I'm glad to see they brought those back. They're the American Legend grips that were discontinued almost 15-20 years ago. I had a set on a 686 and they were pretty nice but I let them go as they were too big for my hands. Still perfect for those who want both rubber and wood, and despite what some have commented on here they actually look good. Much better than the Gripper grips.

I like them. Not in love with them but they are different and I like different sometimes.

It looks like the gun is wearing bat wing chaps.

I had a similar set to those mentioned on my 686-no dash. They really don't do anything well and are a 'butt ugly' compromise.They do not absorb shock too well and cosmetically they are 'butt ugly'
The Goodyear's that came with the gun are a better choice but please don't pay good money for something like that.......

The "puffy shirt" of grips !

If, and I mean a big IF, they worked I'd give them a try. But I don't see how they'd work right with the connection point acting as a pivot.

New Pachmayrs

I am reminded of a line from some otherwise-forgotten book--"He had a face like forty miles of bad road."

 

[pharmer]

They tried that before. The whole rationale for Pachmayr grips is to reduce felt recoil. Rubber is on the wrong side of the grip. Joe

Mr. Horse says it for me.
mr horse no sir i don't like it - Bing Videos

 

[KevinCH]

Oh No, not for me. Look, if you need rubber grips on your gun for recoil control, or you just like them - put a normal set of rubber grips on. Those, IMO, are hideous.

I'm not feelin' the love here!

 

[JimWest]

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?

That's just awful. It's like the rubber was just an afterthought.

 

[frankmako]

not for me. don't like the look.

 

[JayFramer]

Pachmayr has some discontinued models that would have been far better to bring back than THESE!

Uuurrrrkkkk. I just vomited a little in my mouth. Thanks.
