Patrick1981 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi guys Last summer at the Idpa European Cup here in Italy, I met Jerry Biggs, master SSR. Before I knew Jerry I had seen his videos on you tube. He recommended Nill Griffe SW035 for 686, told me that feels very good. But i never had the possibility to try it beacause he shoot the Cup in CDP. Living close to Germany, I can find them at an attractive price, what do you think ? The model is this with closed backstrap and without finger grooves and thumb rest: Thanks Here Jerry play with Nill Griffe grips: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Patrick, I don't have any experience with the Nill Grips so I can be of no help. Grips are a personal preference what works good for me may not work for anyone else. I have heard nothing but good things about the Nill grips though.

Patrick1981 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks Bubber I'm really thinking of taking them, this model here costs 99 € I've seen a better position on the trigger with the closed backstrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Diss Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm using Nill grips on a PPC revolver. I like the open back model with the extended pinky grip. I think you'd only want to the closed back if you have really long fingers or are shooting single action only. I like Nill grips and recommend them.

Patrick1981 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Exactly, I have long finers and I have a better reach of the trigger with closed backstrap. I tested it with the original S&W rubber grips by Uncle's Mike that I found in the box with my 686 SSR, but this one is with finger grooves and for the speed changes isn't good. And I prefer wood, but the orginal one is with open backstrap, small for my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDPMatt Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 No help on the grips but that video was from my home club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okshootist Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've never found grips that fit my hand better than my Nils. I did remove the thumb shelf though, it's large, sharp and serves no purpose for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I broke down and bought a set a couple years ago, half hoping I wouldn't like them due to the price. The first time I was able to actually fire the gun with the grips on it was in a match, in a classifier. I shot my best classifier ever at that point. So… I kept 'em.

Patrick1981 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 LPA rear sight, SDM front sight, extended open Hogue, bobbed hammer, Nill Griffe grips > WOW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anachronism Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I looked into ordering a set, but my timing was apparently bad, and it would probably be a couple of months to receive them in the States, so I ordered a set of Hogues without finger grooves for my Redhawk. I should see them in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
