Makicjf Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Has anyone used X Frame grips on a 627? I'm looking for a big grip which minimizes the distance I have to close my hands to achieve recoil control. I smashed my hand against my tool box "reminding" a horse that kicking is not an appropriate response to a reasonable request by a human. I tore the extensor tendon of my right hand middle knuckle and damaged the joint itself. The tendon healed, but my grip diminishes with fatigue. I have also noted that my G20 with its big fat double stack handle does not fatigue my grip. (FWIW 1911's don't either) I think by filling my hand more completely I do not have to crush grip as far. The hogues on my 627 are small and I have largish chunky horseshoer hands. I have to almost make a fist (which HURTS) to maintain recoil control. After a week of abuse at work, plus practice my grip is toast. Even after 4 advil Friday night and icing, 4 advil Saturday am and pm icing every three hours, 4 advil Sunday am I only had two good classifier stages , then my grip tanked. I had a steady decline form the best classifier I've ever shot to low B class to missing a piece of steel and hitting hard cover on a classifier I shot very well 2 weeks ago. I really don't want to park my revolvers right now. has anyone used the X Frames? I just ordered a pair and I'm hoping someone will have some good news for me!

Kurusty Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have them on my 327 currently, they do have about 3/8" of padding for the web of your hand. They do help, but it doesn't help your support hand. I wish they made the same thing with the big butt heel.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHBret Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I use X-frame grips on my ultralight 329PD 44 Magnum. Definitely reduces felt recoil with the big cushion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel6 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have large hands and use the X-frame grip on all my S&W revolvers because they fill my grip up and keep me from severely hooking the trigger. I even use them on my 617 10 .22 LR so I have the same feel no matter if I am shooting my 610/625's/627/929. Hogue used to only make them for S&W so they were harder to get but now Brownell's is carrying them so they are easy to get now.

radny97 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hogue has a custom shop and can make over sized grips. Call them and ask for Tammy. Also try Herretts for oversized grips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
