Redhawk Grips
« on: November 29, 2009, 04:09:23 AM »
Bought a Redhawk (not the super redhawk) from a guy and the stock grips are just not going to work for me.
Thinking about the Pachmayr Presentation, Gripper, or Decelorator what do you think I should go with?
I tried a set of the Houge rubber grips at my local gun shop but they did seem to fit quite right.

Thanks

I'm looking for grips for mine as well. I also tried the hogue...but went as far as buying them and using them for a while. I just don't like them. They are too narrow and don't fill my palm. It's like gripping a deck of cards like you would a grip. They create pressure at the heel of the palm and the first joint of the fingers. I don't like the looks of the Pachmayr...but if they feel good, I'd switch them.

Take a look at the Herrett Stocks.........built to last for Your lifetime, and sized to Your hand pattern.
The Roper Style and Jordan trooper are excellent, and I have Trooper checkered on My Redhawk.

Those are nice and look like they would have a good fit. However, I left wood years ago for rubber because shooting here in S. Florida is HOT. My hands sweat and the wood grips slip in my hand and are hard to keep a static grip on them without squeezing too hard. Suppose gloves would solve that but then hands will sweat more.

Thanks!!

Always kind of appreicated the slimmer profile of the grippers on something I toted around much in the woods.

I think tupperware grips are ugly, however they work pretty good. My favorite is the Pacmyer Decelerator. I trim the piece next to the trigger guard, fits better. Those bumpy Hogues work well, but very ugly.  When I get home I put the wood back on.

When I am using rubber grips on a handgun, I like the Pachmayr presentation, without the finger groves.  I have big hands, so the grips without groves allow me a better hand grip placement.

I have the Hogue grippers and like them best of all.  I have medium sized hands and they help me control the gun better than other grips.  Have put them on all my Rugers, single and double action.  Like how I have the same grip every time I grab a gun and don't have to reposition the gun after a couple of shots.  Just don't have the same grip strenght I use ta. :-[  DP

Yep, like Bigeasy says, Pachmayer Presentation.

I have "grippers" on my Security Six, and have had them for years.

They are great for the smaller size and recoil of the .357, but for the steady diet of 310gr. LBTs ahead of 19gr of AA #9 in a .44, I want something that fills my hand.

Size does matter in this case, and if I wanted something smaller I sure wouldn't be shooting a 44 with heavy loads.

Keep em coming!

Way back when I had a Redhawk it wore Lett custom grips.   Mine had a rosewood base with an ivory laminated face making up most of the grip.   I had mine scrimshawed by BTC with a very life like Redtailed hawk on one side and a scroll pattern on the other.    Wonder where that revolver is today?

Unfortunately Lett closed their doors about 3 years ago, but they made a lot of the OEM grips for Ruger as well as custom grips.
