zpartan Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Does this really help? Or it's just one great conversation piece on the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I find it helpful. Even with the regular big Hogue's rubber grips, I find the grip of a N-Frame small. The Big But gives me more gripping surface. But, I can see where it would be less helpful for someone who did a swap-hand reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&WIowegan Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I really like the Big Butts. They help me get the same grip on my draw, especially in steel matches where there's lots of drawing. Bob A16841 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The original purpose of the Big Butt grips was to rest on the ground while going prone. Rarely an issue in USPSA and IDPA matches, prone position does have a place in IRC Far and Near, Bianchi, etc. Most of the guys using the Big Butts just like the way they feel. I prefer the regular rubber Hogues personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I prefer the Hogues also. You get the same grip every time. Very consistent. I use the wood ones without the finger grooves. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Anyone know where I can find a rubber K-frame grip without finger grooves? I've checked Hogue's web site, but I can only find rubber grips with finger grooves (which I hate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Anyone know where I can find a rubber K-frame grip without finger grooves? I've checked Hogue's web site, but I can only find rubber grips with finger grooves (which I hate). Take a good knife and cut off the finger grooves. Then use a sander to smooth everything out. It won't take you long and you will make those Big Butts fit your hand perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Whyte Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have 3 revolvolvers with big butts. They made a big difference for me. I've seen the smooth grip , just haven't tried them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a bench grnder for shaping. go slow, it gives a consistent surface. also, if you want something special, if you contact hogue they will make it for you...

pskys2 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) The rubber of the rubber Big Butts w/no Finger Grooves is softer and I've done a few 100+ practice sessions with them and haven't had the web of my thumb crack open. So I'd say they are helping redistribute the recoil. Now if only the snow/ice/frigid temps would leave maybe I could get serious about them. Wood grips of any kind, Miculek, Hogue.... split the web of my thumb pretty quickly. The rubber Hogues actually slipped a bit more than I liked, but were better than wood.

Jaxshooter Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I use Hogue Big Butt Grips (wood w/o finger grooves) on all of my S&W revolvers including my 617. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
