Steve S Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Sometimes in IDPA I'll shoot my S&W Revo. Currently using Hogue Monogrip with finger grooves. I'm thinking about switching to the Miculek wood grips. Before I spend the money, anybody have any feedback back? I know grips get personal, but respect all input.

snertley Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I prefer the JM grips over the Hogue monos and have them on both my 610's. I guess it depends on if you reload weak or strong hand and how strong of a grip on your gun you use. For me they work great but a lot of the better revo shooters don't. Your best bet is to give them a try if you know someone who has a pair you can test drive. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVelocity Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I prefer the Hogue (wood) with finger grooves and in the square butt shape. The Miculeks are nice but way too small for my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I know JM likes his hands slippery, but these are too slippery for my dried up hands (I do a lot of material handling at work, have 80 grit hands). I use the round to square butt converions grips, but I like the wood ones Round_Gun_Shooter has on his 625 a lot. The grips Nils (sp?) sells are quite nice as well, but my hands are pretty meaty and I can't get around them well enough to enjoy them. The pad of my hand below my thumb gets badly beaten up under recoil because it's just 1/8 inch or so too wide. They have an amazing stippled texture to them , much better than checkering. If I wasn't just test-driving a set of those, I may have sanded them down to fit better- but then I would have had to pay for them, whether it worked or not- and I already owe RGS for some moonclips... They are REALLY nice though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmax Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have very large hands and find JM stocks perfect and have them on my 625/627/617/22's. Stocks are very personal and you really need to try different ones in matches to discover your preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Everybody is different, I have big hands and don't like the JM grips because they feel to small. I have Hogue Big Butt grips with finger grooves and no checkering on all of my S&W 625s, 627s and 610s. I use Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves (sanded down) on my 617.

Carmoney Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I tried the Jerry grips, but didn't care for them. They weren't too bad with steel loads, but with major P.F. stuff they would make my thumb joint hurt. I keep the gun in my strong hand and reload with my weak hand, so I don't particularly want slippery grips. I run the plain ol' rubber Hogues on everything.

jjanglin Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 SO FAR: I sure like the rubber Hogue Big Butt Rubber Grips. Jim/Pa Sailors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Jack Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have them on my 625 and my open 64. They work well for me and I have large paws. I do the "hot potato" reload & the slipperiness of the Jerry grips help. The downside is the price. If they cost less I'd have more of them. Oh, one thing I don't care for - the ones on my 64 have a window for access to the main spring screw. Not comfortable on the fingers. I filled it in.

johnb Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I've tried them but prefer the Hogue Big Butt grips. I don't have large hands but they felt too small and slick. I reload without taking my strong hand off of the gun so I don't want grips that allow my hand to move around. I have a set that was on a used 627 that have a few small cracks but still seem serviceable. If you want to try them out, I'll send them to you for $15. Let me know if you're interested and I could take a few pics so you can see what shape they're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Johnb, I'm shooting a S&W square butt L Frame. Will they fit? I'll take them if they do. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwr461 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have them on my 610. I have smallish hands and like them because of their size. They put the trigger right where I want it to land on my finger. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I like the JM grips for everything but shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickn54 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have the JM grips on my 627 and 625. One of the reasons I like them is that I can get a real high hold on the revolver with these grips. I would recommend trying before buying if that is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyK Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What do the Jm grips run? I couldn't find them on S&W's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwr461 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 http://www.bang-inc.com/store/index.php?ma...dex&cPath=1 You can buy them directly from Jerry. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickn54 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 What do the Jm grips run? I couldn't find them on S&W's site. I think Brownells also sells them. I bought my last set on Ebay for 35.00, pretty happy with that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
