VSchneider Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I just bought a new 625 PC with the red, white and blue grips. My question is are the grips on this gun true Jerry Miculek grips? I find them a bit thin for my taste. I usually use Hogue grips but have considered ordering ordering grips from Jerry Miculeks web site Bang Inc. But if these feel the same as the ones on the 625 PC I don't want them and will continue to use the Hogues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 We just got a 625PC into the shop a couple weeks back. They look like Jerry grips from a distance but they are much flatter. They feel pretty bad in the hand, nothing like the Jerry grips I have on my 627. You'll be much happier with a real set from Bang inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think they are. If you're used to Hogues, you might as well just get them. I'm fond of Big Butts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSchneider Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Thanks Pat, From the pictures I have looked at of the real Miculek grips they looked more "round" than the ones on my PC do but its nice to hear that I was right. I think I will try a set from Bang Inc. and see how they feel. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSchneider Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Pskys2, I haven't tried the big butts yet but am getting ready to order a set for my open class revolver. Its a Taurus 608 that has been rebarreled with a dual port slab side 6" barrel, a custom aluminum under lug to keep weight down, moon clipped and a c-more sight with a 6 min dot. Back when I set up the gun I put a set of rubber Hogues on it but now that I see I can get the big butts I think they will work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The grips on the 625PC are two piece grips. Jerry's grips are one piece and are made for him by Hogue. I like mine a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2rideWV Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This is a late reply, but the red, white, and blue grips that come on the PC are not Jerry's. Mine didn't even fit the gun properly. Buy a set from Jerry if you want to try a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apf383 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I would imagine you're already made up your mind, but give the VZ's a look. I've got a set on my 625 and they are great. Very agressive, and fit quite well. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I have one of the original PC 625 5" barrel guns. I put Nills grips on it years ago and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very agressive, and fit quite well. Good luck. VZ's, the G10 laminates? How are they on the hand compared to Wood and Rubber Hogues? I've felt some from Hogue at the Nationals and they feel like they would give a great grip, but worried they would beat my thumb like wood.

apf383 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 pskys2, this would be the exact set. They are quite aggressive, which makes them perfect for USPSA. No problem shooting them all day without issue. I'll try and get a pic up of my 625, but you get the idea. https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/smith-wesson/n-frame/round-bottoms/tactical-diamonds/n-frame-tactical-diamond-predator-green-g10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I use the newer S&W factory rubber grips with pebble texture. Very comfortable, cover the backstrap but smaller than the X-Frame style grips. They come on the 629, not sure what else. You'll need to call in an order direct to S&W and wait a bit.

They come on the 629, not sure what else. You'll need to call in an order direct to S&W and wait a bit. I've been wanting to try the X-frame grips on my 625, and have wondered about the size. A couple of weeks ago I swapped the aforementioned grips from my 629 to my 625 and shop our club's match. I didn't care for it because it is such a long grip that I'm required to hold it more one the side than center the grip in the web of my hand. Does anyone know exactly what this grip is called? My new 686 has the same grip on it, too, but the reach to the trigger isn't quite so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The Hogue set I saw at the Nationals were a one piece and looked real good. I like the grip surface, won't slip. I like the looks too. But wood grips beat my thumb joint badly, 200 rounds of major will usually split the skin at the base and I have very work hardened hands. Price difference is huge also.

apf383 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I find the wood, no matter how aggressive they are stippled, or checkered, just get slippery with sweat after a while. I shot a match last weekend, used something like 260 rounds, with no problems with the grips. Wish I could say the same for some of my reloads.
