Wooden grips for my 686
 

Does anyone know where I can get a quality set of wooden grips for my .357? Preferrably without finger grooves- my fingers sit on the bumps inbetween the grooves and I hate it

Just checked TFL's search and these are recommended a lot

Special order? No thanks. Anyone else have an idea of where I can get some grips?

Hogue grips are popular and have a wide selection as does Eagle. (I don't have any experience with either of them) What kind of finger groove grips do you have? I have factory combat stocks on my 586 with the finger grooves and love them. It originally had target stocks.

Here is a crappy pic of mine.

I have the Hogues that are stock on the 686 and I hate them

Get them from S&W's website or look on Gunbroker for a pair of L-Frame wooden ones. I think K frames fit too.

I found a set of stock wooden grips w/o grooves on Midway USA's site, but they're so damn expensive

Yeah K-frames grips will fit too. That's what my grips came off of. You have to make sure they're square butt or round butt. Ebay is another place.

Yeah I got my 1911 grips on Ebay, but they were plastic. Unless you find a fantastic deal or a real bad condition pair, expect to pay quite a bit for wood S&W grips.

I guess I'll just have to spend all my money then- or I could just wait until my uncle buys my shitty High Standard

Or you can get creative and carve your own grips. They may not be factory made but at the end of the day you can say that the grips are custom and just the way that you want them. Think of it as an art project and it can be good experiance for future endevors.

I can't carve for shit, so I'll wait until I sell that pistol so I will have $500 to play around with
