Seancass Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 What grips are you running on your competition gun? I'm shooting a 929 in USPSA, ICORE and Steel shoots(well, just everything I can!). I like the factory grips, but I feel like the finger grooves aren't quite right for my hand. I'm shopping for a new set without finger grooves. I'd love to get my hands on a few sets, but that may not be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've got Miculek grips on all the competition revos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Gonsalves Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I use Wood Hogue Big Butt without finger grooves. They also make them in rubber. Bob at http://www.4wheelguns.com/NFrameGrips.htmlhas them in stock! Edited May 7, 2015 by Brian Gonsalves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Big butt no finger grooves. A dremel and a sanding wheel can mod them to fit your hand better if you wish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosshoss Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sean I use the big butt no finger groove rubber Hogues. I have a extra set if you want to try them at the next match or you can check them out on my gun. I will be at South Central the 31st and June 7th and Silver Creek on the 14th.

AusPPC Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I shoot PPC 1500 match, and use KN Nill grips, specifically, their "Master II" model in size XL. One of the best investments I've ever made in my shooting, perfect fit and promotes a repeatable grip that actually makes the revolver feel lighter. They're also quite beautiful.

Trebor Snave Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just the standard Hogue rubber finger groove grips on my 625. Might like to try a big butt if I ever get serious about revo shooting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-gun Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Grip choice seems to be affected by which hand you reload with. I reload with my strong hand so I grip and re-grip then gun each time I reload. So I like a smooth grip. No checkering, rubber, finger grooves or grip tape. I also use the JM trick of a bit of corn starch to avoid stickiness in case a bit of grip adjustment is required. I use a Hogue big butt, no finger grooves on my 627 super. I got the big butt for going prone on the make or break stage of Far and Near at the IRC, but now I'm used to it and like it for everything. You also can sand off a bit of the wood on the left side to help the moons come and go and not get hung up on the grip. I might even put a couple drill holes through the sides of the big butt to cut a little weight from unnecessary material. And I saw a picture at one time of Neil Hogue's with holes. Ok, and I thought it looked cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I have large hands and I like the Hogue grip off the Xframe revolvers. Bigger so they fill up my hands great and they are cheap so I have them (same grip feel) on my 625, 610 and 627. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, if I can resist the urge to hit Buy Now on midway, I'll take you up on that offer. I'm torn between smooth wood and grippy rubber(or wood) and I simply lack the experience to know which i prefer. I might have to spend the money and see which works better for me, but I'd love to save a hundred bucks if i can! My current thought is that I can easily add grip tape to smooth wood, but making rubber non-sticky could be more challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-gun Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Got that picture still ? No, and I was just looking for it again recently. Don't recall what I was looking for when I first found it. A call to hogue may do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelGunHunter Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hogue big butt grips that started with finger grooves but I used a Dremel to remove them. I also took some rubber off the grip behind the trigger guard to allow for a little higher grip. I hope it lasts forever because I love that damn grip.

aandabooks Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Miculek grips on both my 625 and 627. They both feel the same out of the holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I use Dog Butts.image.jpg Is that home made? You guys that are sanding down your Hogue grips with Dremmels what specifically are you using to remove the material? I might try it on a spare grip I have but don't want it to look like I used a beaver to gnaw on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snertley Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yep, its home made. It uses a longer grip screw. Lots of dremel and rotory file work. It fits on a standard Hogue square butt conversion grip. I made a few and gave them as gifts to a few of my shooting buddies. I use Dog Butts.image.jpg Is that home made?

almostold Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I just recd my Nill 'hemphill' full stipple XL grip. About 5wk wait shipped from Germany. Great grip but XL is not very big. I shoulda ordered at least an XXL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2rideWV Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 For shooting major with my 625, I like the Pachymair Presentation grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I tried the Hogue Rubber Big Butts (no finger grooves) and didn't feel they offered any distinct advantage and they had a bad tendency to pivot the gun around on a table start. Tried the Miculek grips and they are ok, but again don't feel they offer any distinct advantage and at major they beat the heck out of my thumb base. Tried Hogue wood and same as Miculek grips. I've settled on plain Hogue Rubber Grips that I dremel away most of the finger grooves and flatten the upper left tang out for more clearance. Seems to work as good as anything and they don't beat my hands up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevoWood123 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I run the Miculek grips on my 686, but I am running mild loads for ICORE, about 130PF 158gr. They don't beat me up, and I feel that my transitions from WHO and SHO are much easier because my hand can move easily around the grip until I feel my index points for my hand. IMO the checkering/ texturing provides to much grip and I am unable to manipulate the grip in my hand as it may be necessary sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerichrome Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I use the Trausch grips on all of my revo's. Mod.10, 64 ppc, 686 bianchi, 625 and 929, i like the small beavertail for consistent holsterdraw. The models for the N frame are a little big for me but you can modify the L frame model or use the model for the Manhurin Mr73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
