Gettin a grip on it......

[Bruce W Sims]

Hi, Folks:

I don't know how many other people have the problem that I have - particularly large hands. What
I find is that a lot of things made for the average grip usually need some help when I use them.
Right now I'm thinking that my Dragoon would probably be a bit more comfortable if there was a bit more meat to grab.
It still has those skinny, slick stock grips and I'd like to find something beefy in walnut or maple.

Is this something I can pick up just by naming my preference across the counter, or do I actually
have to go get them fitted?  Thoughts?

Best Wishes,

Bruce

Good News!!  You can get grips that fit    Bad News!!  You'll have to find a custom maker and have then fitted

Howdy Mr. Sims,

I'm blessed with big paws also.  My most comfortable sixguns are my brace of Ruger Old Armies.  For quick accurate pointing I favor the 1860 open tops, but I too wish they had more beef to the grips.  Since I have the means to work wood I may just make some.

I'm lucky, I got little bitty hands, little bitty feet, and..........

Size don't matter Cuts, it's the fit that matters.

OH...I just KNEW we'd get around to this but honestly, size really DOES matter (though I agree about the "fit"). So
on to the next question: Are there blanks that can be worked?

BTW: @ Dick....you were mentioned in my thread on the multi-loader and would be interested in your feedback...

Best Wishes,

Bruce
