IT FINALLY ARRIVED

[Texas Buzzard]

Yep, it finally arrived. Love the rosewood grip but thinking about putting the black rubber grips on. They’re a bit longer giving me a better hold plus they’ll absorb some of the recoil. Although everything I’ve read says the recoil is minimal because of the compensated barrel.

A 44mag I bought back in '84 had wood grips on it and they would chew up my hands. Put rubber grips on and I could shoot it all day. Without pain and having a comfortable grip makes shooting way more pleasant! Looks good!

Very nice, that is one I have been considering. I would probably buy amd put on the classic model 19 combat grip, I like that grip.

I do not find a tacky rubber grip pleasant on heavy recoiling magnums. I prefer a smooth ivory grip personally, that is what I used for 30 years on my custom 4.5 inch 44 Redhawk.

Hope you re-load...have only seen ammo for that bad boy in 18+ months around me once (and was gone fast).

Could luck with your new toy!

Nice piece. I'd try those grips just to see how they are. You can always change them if you don't like them.

What a great looking revolver. Hogue makes soft over molded square butt grips in either rubber or nylon which I have put on several of my S & Ws to keep from damaging the original wooden ones. Altamont has lots of nice-looking grips, but I believe they would all be wood.
