Great Grip for 629
These Hogue square butt grips come standard on new S&W 629s. They provide excellent, consistent, repeatable grip on my 629 6" 44 Mag. The round butt model is easier to conceal and if anything provides a better grip & control. Mystery to me why S&W puts the square butt model on their round butt 629s, but they must have a reason...
Great grip!!!
I have Ruger GP 100 with old style grip - rubber and rose wood. I do not like feeling in my hand... But when I install Hogue Rubber Grip on my GP 100 I receive a brand new gun! Grip is like part of my hand, very comfortable for CCW and for one hand shooting with .357 Magnum!!!
Hogue grips
Installation was straightforward. The contours of the grip do fit the hand better than OEM grips, however the total grip circumference is smaller than OEM. I recommend this product for persons with small to average size hands; if you have large size hands be aware you are downsizing to a grip that is overall smaller. Four out of five stars.
Read Instructions!!!
I had a heck of a time getting these on until I read instructions! What guy reads instructions? Grips are okay but don't fit great around back strap. They kind of sit proud. Don't look anywhere near as nice as factory grips but should be more comfortable to shoot.
Better than the factory stocks
This grip provides much better control of the revolver than the original wooden stocks which made it easier for me to control the revolver and led to smaller groups on target. Very satisfactory there. The installation was fairly simple; the hardest part was getting the grip to spread enough to easily slide the grip onto the frame of the revolver. I had to use a flat bladed screwdriver as a wedge to hold it open and then the grip slid on with no trouble. Using the flat blade as a wedge also helped putting the metal bracket that the grip screws into unto the bottom of the grip frame. This did fit onto a Taurus 82S, on older model revolver, but it does leave a small gap between the grip and the bottom of the backstrap. This does not affect the function of the grip, but it is noticeable. The Brownell's website does not list the 82S in its fitment guide, but the Hogue website does list this SKU number as fitting my revolver, so I tried it. Overall I am very please with it.
incorrect listing
A great improvement over the SAA style grips. 3 fingers instead of just two. Much better control,especially in 44 mag. However,this listing is incorrect. This part only fits square triggerguard long barrel Super Blackhawks. Round guards use Hogue #83000.
nice grip
perfect fit on the Taurus model 44, the pin in the frame must be removed so you will need to do some stuff particulary in this case, nice grip, it looks great, feels great.
Great grip!
This is a very nice grip for my Ruger SP101 2-1/4". It allows your hand to completely get a good grip on the little Ruger. It is, however, a little larger than the factory grips, this will affect concealment when carrying.
Quality grip for the money
I ordered this grip for my Ruger Police Service Six in .357 magnum. I bought the gun used a few years back, and the former owner had Pachmayr size large grips on it rather than the original wood grips. I have rather short fingers and the large grip caused me to have to pull the trigger with the tip of my finger, causing the skin between my first and second finger joint to get pinched between the trigger and trigger guard every time I shot. This grip solved that problem and made my Ruger a joy to shoot. It really fits the form of the hand well and gives me great stability for non-competitive target shooting. My friends and family with larger hands also love the grip too, so clearly its not just for those with smaller hands like myself. It is just plain rubber, so I was somewhat concerned about durability, especially for the price, but for my shooting purposes (as a non-duty or competitive shooting gun) it has been fine. The texture is average for a rubber grip. It's not super grippy like the "golfball" pattern 1911 grips that are popular with military and competitive shooters, but it is a very good upgrade from regular wood grips, and for me the hard plastic Pachmyr grips also. For the price I don't think you can go wrong with this grip if it is for a general use firearm. The only aggravation I had was that there was about a 2mm flap sticking out on the rear strap once the grips were installed. These grips say they are for the Security Six, but the Service Six (as I have) is virtually the same so that should not have been the cause as far as I know (I admit I could be wrong there, although I doubt it). Because of this I had to trim it with a razor blade for a flush fit, as the flap was very annoying. Afterwords I took a flat piece of metal and heated it with a lighter to smooth over the area I trimmed. It doesn't look as pretty as if the grip was molded to a perfect fit to begin with, but it is not overly noticeable either and since this is a general use gun and not a trophy gun it's not a big deal to me. This may matter to you however if you don't want to fiddle with the fit. Overall I feel that I have little to complain about for the money, and plus the fit to my hand is superior to other more expensive grips I looked at.
Nice
Good quality rubber but too narrow for large hands. Would be better if same size as original wood grips.
