Does anyone know if Pachmayr has a "Decelerator" grip that fits a SBH Hunter? If not, do you have any suggestions for a comparable grip by any other manufacturer? Thanks in advance.

I have the Hoague's on mine. They are larger than the Pachmayrs, and have finger grooves moulded into them. Between the grips and the weight of the gun, the felt recoil is half of what I get from my mod. 29 S&W.

i have a set of pachmyer gripper decelerator grips for a sbh on mine. they fit almost perfect. a little off at the trigger guard but for the most part they fit really well. you really have to be looking to pick up the slight misfit. it doest effect shooting at all.

I've got to agree with Dave on this one. I have Hogues on all of my Ruger singles and they work great.

Even'in Blackhawk shooters,

You must all realise this is just IMHO, but after a number of BHs my vote as per grips goes to something like the standard as she comes from the factory design.

I have had them both ways, and the only one that ever hurt me and put me out of the shoot'in busness for awhile was a set of Pachmyers.

Ended up with some type of injury deep in the hand. Nothing ever showed up on the surface, but it was a month or two before things healed and I could go back to the .44. This was with 240 - 250 gr cast bullets.

Since that time, I have had at least one more BH. Fired 310 gr and heavier cast slugs through it, and never had any problems with the standard grips.

My current .44 is a 5 1/2" RH and my regular load is a 310gr cast LBT ahead of 19gr of AA #9. This unit was traded for, and came with a set of Pachmyers installed. I have never had any problem with this fine hand gun, and in this case, although I have never tried them, I do not think the smaller factory wood grips would be much fun.

However, there is much difference in the shape of the standard grips with the BH & RH and also a difference in the manner in which they recoil. With the BH design I will stick with the factory type grips.

Keep em com'ing!
