Rubber grips for .22 mag 941
« on: February 07, 2010, 11:34:30 AM »
  I looked for some in the catalogs..some say for "small frame" others list 941 seperate from the grips for model 85..still others list some grips that fit both 941 & 85s..  What's the scoop ?

I did some checking to see if the 851 ( I think that's what it is, .38spl "bodyguard") would take m85 grips and it does just fine.  the 94, 941 and such are/were listed to as well in the dealer catalog I was shown at the time (about two months ago).  I got the hogue monogirps, if you do so as well, be prepared, they will fit TIGHT!  I'm a young guy and I work out a lot and really had to fight them all the way and take a break once to finish the job. 

that discrepancy shows up on the taurus large frame revolvers too- I think the issue is different small and large frames in the 80's and 90's than is/are available now on current and "newer" guns.  I assume that you're getting a "newer" gun?  if so, let me know how well it shoots for you- I've thought about getting a 22lr (or mag)lately because I'm tired of searching for brass, polishing...etc.

No Squid, I have a 941 which I bought new in 1994..how does that affect the situation ?
  Other than that, this old grandpa will have to appeal to his son or grandsons. The Marine sgt won't be home soon..but either the 6'5" construction worker or the one who fights in mixed martial arts will gladly help me.  :D ;D

I don't know... I got old enough to buy guns after taurus got reliable and standardized frames and such (2005)... so I never looked up the production dates thoroughly.  sorry  :-\

I have a model 94 that's also about a mid 90's vintage.  The rubber Hogue grips listed for the M85, etc fit it just fine (but like the Jarhead said VERY tight).
Didn't really like them because they were too small for the 4" barrel - didn't look/feel "right" to me.

P.S. - Squib hope you didn't take offense to my referring to you as a jarhead - no offense intended.

no it's fine... (I said jarhead instead of all the semper fi crap to avoid any SERIOUSNESS)

I was embarrassed because I gave the grips back to the gun shop guy and then he put them on for me... an old disabled man bested me  :'( (he cheated and used a screwdriver to "pop the seal" and cheat though!)

it makes the gun harder to conceal, and really not much more accurate (for me anyways), however if you have grease or whatever on your hands and lack traction (or gloves)- then the grooves will help you.

 Shucks Squib;

it'll still work in a pocket holster... my suggestion for snubs in general is to get vinyl or an equivalent (cheapo car matts work great) and cut out a strip, fold it, stitch the guns approximate shape into it to hold it at an angle to avoid printing and tight enough for retention... make it BIGGER than your pocket and stuff it in really good till your pocket is stretched out wide.  the contours of your gun will be totally hidden, and there is not any bulk added to print/lump up. 

commercial holsters look cool and are more durable but they will bulk up your pockets real big, try that slim and ghetto vinyl trick.  I'll show you a pick sometime after I finish my new one.

Pachmayer is my favorite for small frame guns. I have a COMPAC grip on my M94 and my S&W M60. It fills my hand better, it's checkered and grip-y, it moves my palm back from the trigger so I have better trigger control. I like the factory grips but my thumb gets in the way of my trigger finger cause they are a little too small. If the normal places like Brownells, Midway, Mid-South don't carry this model, you can order them from Lyman/Pachmayer online. I'm pretty sure the COMPAC style is the only one they make for the small frame Taurus. They fill your hand better but are round butt and small for CC. Allows use of HKS speed loaders too. Feels really good in MY hand. God Bless and good luck !

Thanks saddlebum;
   May be what I need, because I have very large hands.

Take a look at the variety of Hogue grips (www.getgrip.com).  I just got one of these revolvers that has the original wood grips, but one has a chunk missing. HTH
