Round_Gun_Shooter Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If you want one, I have one I will sell for $55 shipped. I do not want to cut my wood grips to install it. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemepharmd Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'm relatively new to revolver division, having shot primarily in limited for several years, but I installed a Hogue extended cylinder release on my 625 and love it. I use a Hogue Big Butt grip with rubber on top, and the cylinder release doesn't come close to the rubber grips if you're using those or something with a similar contour.

41mag Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hogue Extended competition cylinder release, anybody use one yet ??Thinking about installing one on my 625 ? I put one on ...relearned my reload thru dryfire practice.....went to a local match and shot poorly....noticed blood every where and found a hole in my strong thumb! If you shoot with a high grip (like I do) this release won't work for you. I have tried another extended release I bought from Dillion and I didn't like it either. I keep coming back to the factory release. I might try the SDM next, it is very much like the factory except flat with better checkering. All that being said I must confess that I load weak hand and engage the release with the weak thumb (factory, not hogue). good luck 41mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Try the Pinnacle cyl release. I went thru the same process and liked his the best (by far). http://www.pinnacle-guns.com/parts.asp Edited November 11, 2007 by Tom E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could work a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosigns Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Echoing the sentiment of Revoman... (which often scares me) I have an Ed Brown that I'm not using, but would really like to get another hogue cylinder release. If anyone is unhappy with theirs get in touch with me. For my 'style' I absolutely love the things. Especially when combined with my new Hogue Rubber/Wood Big Butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I can always use a couple more Ed Brown thumbpieces if somebody wants to dump 'em. Personally, I'll pass on the big upright vertical paddle releases like the Pinnacle and the Hogue. They are definitely not in the right place for the way I hold the gun.

Hog Sniper Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Mike, Can you post a pic of the Ed Brown?? I have a Pinnacle that I never really got use to...Might have to trade it off!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Here's a photo. Keep in mind this one has had the edges contoured a little--I don't like the sharp edges personally, but many people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
