Surprisingly nice
Much nicer quality than other recent production Pachmayr grips I've ordered. These came with well defined molded features and minimal leftover flashing. The grips fit nicely around the trigger guard and are not warped. Really quite nice. As for the grips themselves, these follow the general shape of S&W target stocks, but are a bit thicker towards the top of the grip due to the extra material along the back of the frame. They rotate and slip less than wood target stocks and absorb recoil well, but keep the general look of wood, unlike Hogue rubber grips. They also grab fabric and pick up grime less than Hogues. Overall a nice upgrade if you want to maintain the classic profile of your revolver, but want more control and comfort shooting it.
They fit my hand perfectly.
I bought two of these grips, one for a 1975 Colt Detective Special and one for a 1979 S&W Model 34-1 snub nose, square butt, J-frame .22LR revolver. With the Pachmayr grips on both revolvers, I no longer have to adjust my grip when I bring the weapon on to a target, they fill my medium sized hands very well and are quite comfortable. I can also now use HKS speed loaders with the Colt DS, which was problematic with the OEM grips. I think these are an excellent addition for either revolver.
Fits my Hand just right

Much improved group size
Gives a lot better grip on firearm. I have these on Blackhawk and Single Six. Look good and much better grip.
Worked great on Armscor M206
Installed this to replace skinny factory wood grips on Armscor M206. Major improvement on handling and helps reduce felt recoil. Fit was almost perfect, but it works well. You can see a small gap on front strap. I would recommend it.
Great grip
Tried all the Pachmayr grips, this one is my favorite. Not too big, not too small, just perfect.
Presentation grip: J-frame round butt
This grip ended my search for a comfortable/concealable/controllable grip for my S&W 442 Airweight. 200-round range sessions are now comfortable and pleasant from round 1 through the end. My speed, accuracy and consistency increased greatly simply by switching to this. It fits my big hands/long fingers perfectly and the rubber checkering just clings to the skin in a death grip. On top of all that, it sits right at home in my IWB clip holster with no "shirt printing" nor discomfort to speak of. My ideal grip.
