mcb Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So the new Model 66 and 69 and some of the 629's (maybe others) seem to be coming with a new style rubber grip. It covers more of the back strap and has less prominent finger groves than the Hogue grips we are all use too. I handle a Model 69 at a FLGS recently (nearly bought it despite the wife) and really liked the grip. Thought I might like to try one on my 627 and maybe my model 10. Can I get this grips as an aftermarket part somewhere? I don't see them listed on S&W's website and I can't figure out who makes them. Any help would be appreciated. My Google-fu skills have failed me. Good Old Hogue Square butt conversion grip. The new grip that I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My 617 came with them, hated them. Also, they probably won't work for you if you have an aftermarket spring like the bang Inc or wolf main spring since the grip screw goes through the center, the spring will make contact with the grip screw.

mcb Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 LOL, as I dug around on the internet looking for them I saw a lot of comments on them, some loved them, some hated them very little middle ground. Would your 617 grips fit my old Model 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sure, they were just K/L frame. I don't have them anymore. They were pretty much useless unless you run a stock factory spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 My Model 10 is stock that why I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm assuming they were made by S&W, at least they had several S&W logos on them. Could of been contracted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhunter3 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have a set off my 617 replaced them first thing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I sent S&W an email inquiring if the new style grips where available for purchase separately and was informed they where not at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Pachmayr makes them for S&W. Unfortunately you have to get them directly from S&W. Edited January 25, 2015 by Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondakilla98 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Post a WTB add in the classifieds. I bet you'll get a set for the cost of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWP Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I already mailed mcb a set for K/L frame, for the cost of a beer at nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah I am probably doing something sacrilegious here but here is my Model 10 with the new style synthetic grips MWP sent me. So far I really like the feel, but the proof will be in the shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
