SRH 454grips

I was planning on trying the Pachmayer Gripper Decelerator grips on my new super redhawk 454 , what grips are you guys using.

I use a pair of Uncle Mikes Shooting gloves

used those grips on a buddy's similar gun and liked them just fine... I would use a glove too, though.. if it does move in your hand the grippiness could abrade some skin ... depends on what you like. double actions, I like any type of big enough grip... single actions are for wooden or other non gripping surfaces...
I also use pachmayers on most of my contender and encore grips and like them a lot.. with a glove.. but your mileage may vary..

"New" SRH 454 comes w/Hogue rubbers (at least mine did and the catalogue confirmed it) which are outstanding. As for the Pachmayers, they're std on the FA83 field grades. On the first shot w/the FA83, I felt the rubber checkering bite into the 'Devils Pit' (dunno why its called that, perhaps as an instrument in man's greed or in my case, a devil of a time healing) read: center/tender part of the palm and shear/tore some skin. Use gloves !

Thanks for recommending the gloves , i will get them i remember loosing some skin using rubber grips with a 357 once Makes me wonder if smooth wooden grips would be better

I had the Hogue rubber monogrip with the finger grooves on my SRH .480.  I found that when I shot it without a glove on my shooting hand, I got some hand sting.  Since I shoot hot .44 loads in my SBH with smooth grips and have no trouble at all, I surmised it might be due to the rubber sticking to my skin and yanking the meat of my hand around during the snap of recoil.  I tried a Hogue wooden finger groove monogrip and love it.  My hands are a little small for it, so I noticed that my thumb tends to rest along side of the ridge under thumb groove instead of in the thumb groove.  Consequently, after 40-50 rounds, the side of my thumb starts to get a little sore from being thumped by the wooden ridge.  Regardless, it is much much better than shooting with the rubber monogrip.

IMHO you might like the wood grip better than the rubber one.  But, as they say, to each his own!

PS - mine is the one Hogue calls their "Big Butt" grip, in Rosewood Laminate.  I posted a picture in a previous thread.
