I need the most aesthetic grips for my new stainless 6" GP100. Can't decide between lamo camo or pau ferro Hogue grips
What's your pick
Wooden wheelgun grips
Hudson Sanders
Jeremiah Myers
whatever the other option is
> that color
Julian Diaz
pau ferro
Ian Carter
Good God that is hideous.
Thomas Ward
I mean it might be hideous, but I kinda like it.
This is the pau ferro wood
Sebastian Barnes
>pau ferro
I think something on my bass guitar is made of that.
David Morris
Well definitely not laminate so if those are the options, whatever isn't that.
I rather like Hogue's cocobolo, it's pretty consistently reddish which I love. Their walnut is nice too, though in all cases with Hogue you'll probably want to try before you buy, the shape is rather specific and not very permissive of a wide variety of hand shapes. The heel swell and finger grooves in particular, I'd recommend their non-finger-grooved grips.
If you're open to other options then consider G10 from any number of manufacturers, and wood grips from Eagle, pic related. I recommend against checkered grips from Eagle as the price is not fair for the (relatively low) quality of checkering they do, but their smooth grips are very nice.
Eli Ward
Yeah I like the look of the cocobolo as well.
Not sure where I can go to try before I buy... Amazon return policy perhaps?
Jonathan King
Don't waste your money trying to make a Ruger look good. They're the ugliest, clunkiest revolvers around. Basically the glock of the wheelgun world. Just sell it and put the money towards anything else.
Carson Collins
I run ahrends grips on my smith, it came with some extremely fancy laminate grips but they didn't fill my hand properly, I'll respond with those.
These grips look fine though.
Tyler Morris
Here's the original grips. Yeah they look a lot better but they are WAY too narrow to be comfortable when shooting proper 357, which I doubt the gun was really intended for anyway. Seems more like a competition gun for running bunny fart 38 wadcutters.
Joseph Lee
Somebody spent too much on a S&W...
I reload so I wanted a revolver actually capable of pushing .357 to it's full potential
Josiah Hall
Get a Herrett Stock
You can get them made to measure by sending in a tracing of your hand.
Jack Barnes
Not a fan of those. I definitely want reddish/brownish wood. Not a fan of the black colored wood grips
Benjamin Ramirez
Would you consider 180gr bullets at 1200fps to be a proper 357 loading? My ruger bisley blackhawk has issues with blowing out primers when I run this extremely hot load in it, but my smith is perfectly fine with it.
Bentley Morales
Hogue is fairly ubiquitous, you won't find Eagle or Craig Spegel or Nills grips everywhere but you're pretty likely to find Hogue hardwood in stores, particularly for S&W and Ruger. Call a few shops. Amazon return if you can't do it another way, sure.
Another option is Nills, though you would be buying sight unseen and feel unfelt. I'm not sure if it's standard policy but multiple times I've contacted them and asked for a specific grip in a specific color and they obliged me. For pic related I asked them to select the deepest red walnut they had and boy howdy they did me good.
Disagree
I love Ahrends too, OP definidely look at them if they make grips for Ruger.
Noah Taylor
Nice grips on a GP100 is like putting lipstick on a pig. The Ruger may be a nice, reliable revolver, but god is it ever ugly. Why not stick with the rubberized Hogue's that it comes with since you're a fan of finger grooves and all?
Benjamin Reed
That's a sexy fucking gun right there.
Not sure if ahrends makes grips for the rugers
Jaxson Wilson
Not sold on finger grooves - someone redpill me on finger grooves vs grooveless.
Caleb Hill
Because rubber feels and looks gross. Wood is personal, warm, lovely.
Finger grooves are nearly always in the wrong position for everybody, which is kind of amazing. No finger grooves means your fingers can more easily slide down the smooth grip under recoil. Finger grooves help keep the grip in position which means you have to readjust your hands less or not at all during firing.
It's a compromise either way, but I usually tend to avoid finger grooves unless there's no other option.
Looks like they do not, rip
Daniel Davis
nice revolver
personally, i don't like colours or finger grooves
i like plain jane
Justin Brown
Man, I don't even have the words to describe how wrong you are
Christopher Thompson
I really like the match champion grips, so whatever those are. I find they fit my hand really well too.
Brayden Clark
I have an SP101, and in order to get some grips that were vaguely Smith-style, I ended up getting some of the Thai grips.
Cheap, and nice, some fitting required. I didn't like how the two halves met on mine, so I ended up cutting and fitting some brass shim stock between them. It's got a neat look and they're secure on the gun, now.
Caleb Richardson
I tried out a Match Champion before ordering the standard GP100. Wasn't a fan of the MC grips, to be honest
Isaiah Young
I have laminate grips just like that on my Model 66 no dash. Love em. Look good, feel good. Get em
Hudson Rogers
Then get a Dan Wesson or Manurhin.
Jayden Bennett
>MATCH CHAMPION™
They should have put it in comic sans to match the rest of the gun
