S&W revolver grip replacement
« on: April 01, 2013, 11:37:52 AM »
Hi all,

I have a recently acquired S&W Model 64-6. It came with some after market wooden grips already installed. I do not really care for them.

It also came with a set of rubber grips, but they are kind of old.

I was thinking of going to the S&W site and ordering some replacement factory rubber grips.

Are all the "K" models all the same? Will these work on an older model gun? Are there any better rubber grips that you would suggest?

This is my first revolver, and I am still trying to figure these things out.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Can't tell you about the fitment on older model frames.

I run Hogues on my 686 FWIW.

Thanks for the reply, I don't think it is that old.

It is a round butt.

Which Hogues?

Just your standard wrap around type.  Back is the backbone of the 686 handle. That means although the grips are rubber if you shoot mag, the handle beats you up pretty bad, more so that my 460V which is a full wrap around rubber grip.
