Supermoto Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am used to shooting a 2011 and am accustom to the wide grip. I find when I try to shoot my Revolver that I don't have a good interaction between the grip and my left thumb and palm. There is little room on the grip because my right hand fingers are taking up all the space. ( I use a high thumb style grip) So is there a wider grip that will allow me to get more of my thumb/palm of my left hand on the grip? I rather not change how I grip the gun, since Open class is my primary focus and the revolver is the off season gun Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDPMatt Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Not sure what grip you are using now but I use the S&W (Hogue) X-frame rubber grips on my 625.... they're nice and fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm using the standard Hogue. I'll try the X-frame version thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtrooper Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Nills Grips manufactured in Germany make excellent but pricey revolver grips. The have everything from the stock grip for revolvers to wide one with an extended grip for a secure two hand hold. They are walnut and can be had smooth or stippled. They are on the web as Nills Grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried quite a few different grips and really didn't care for the N-frame Hogues but liked the X-frame ones the best even over the JM wood ones.

We have a big order coming in the next 2 weeks. Nill usually takes around 6-8 weeks if you order directly from them. They are really nice grips. http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/se...RIPS/Categories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Use Bondo or some other body epoxy and mold it to the grip and your hand. It doesn't come out looking pretty but it will work. Bubber on this forum did it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't come out looking pretty but it will work.Bubber on this forum did it I think. pskys2, you mean the part where they don't look good, right? As pskys2 sez. use some epoxy that comes in a paste tube that you just knead until it becomes one slolid color. Put it where you think it ought to go and get a grip to see if is what you want. Sand it down and leter rip. Tetsu Murata and the whole Japanese team would make their grips while at a match. I will see if I can't ad some ugly pictures so you can see what I did anyway. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Amish 1 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Supermoto, I am still on a quest for a biiiig revo grip myself. For now, these X-frame grips do the trick. If you have large hands, like I have, these extend the distance to the trigger by 1/3 inch or so and you get a good two-hand grip. Only aspect that bites is that, at least in warmer climates, these things get so slippery with sweaty hands that you cannot hold on to your gun. If you try these, I'd suggest experimenting with skateboard tape. Please let me know what works best, my revo is still hibernating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) They look like Nills grips. I think they call those PPC or Bianchi grips. Edited February 26, 2009 by twister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtrooper Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 They look like Nills grips. I think they call those PPC or Bianchi grips. They are Nills Grips. I have average size hands and they fit and feel really good on L frames. They provide a better two handed grip due to the shelf at the bottom of the grip for the little finger on the support hand for two handed double action shooting. Both PPC and Bianchi have prone positions and the extra length in the grip also provides a firm foundation for the revolver in that position since the bottom is flat. The Hogue Big But is a fine grip I have three sets but the bottom of the grip is not flat. I just received a set for a 627X8 and will try them out when it gets back from Carmoney.

Rather-B-Huntin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Bob Perdue sent me a set of Hogue Big Butt finger groove grips that provide quite a palm filling grip for me. And I have a fair sized hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
