Checkered Pistol Grips?

[Klondike]

Prefer Gunfighter checkered on RV's, smooth one piece on Colt's, go figger.

[Marauder]

I have checkered grips on my Rugers.

When I shoot duelist, I generally use smooth.  Hadn't thought of that, really.  Some of my pards that are very good duelists use checked though.

Mine are plain right now.  Eventually I'd like to get them Laser engraved(shallow checkering that won't eat your hands up with hot loads).

[Silver Creek Slim]

Glad to see you made it over here, Hi Seas.

I have the original smooth grips on my Vaqueros. I`ve never tried checkered ones.

I never have enough time to shoot my hands sore, so thats not a problem! I`m wonderin if those checkered gunfighter grips could be the thing for me. When shooting in the cold, the smooth ones are a bit to jumpy. And the summers are short over here..

Hmm... Seems like I`m just trying to find an excuse to buy those "gamer" grips

For looks only, I think stag is the very nice.. I have one pair of stag grips, but another set is hard to come by these days.

Looks wise I really like the black rubber grips with the nickle.

Must date back to the days of the TV show "Colt 45" where the nephew of Sam Colt traveled the West s a Colt salesman.  He had a case with samples in and carried a brace of 7 1/2" Nickle plated Peacemakers with the black grips

Checkered grips on one of my '58 Remingtons, smooth on the others.  Like these on my Stampede.

The grips on my RBV are checkered polymer ivory. They came on the gun that I bought from a pard, so I don't know who makes them. The only marking on the inside is either a "N" or a "Z" depending how you look at it. These are thinner than the factory ones on my standard RB. I would like to get a matching set for my RV as I have the factory grips on that one now and they are a might thick for me.

I voted yes, and I do on my NRV's and I like them a lot, and my clones I have smooth one piece walnut grips that I like on them too.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

I put other because I've got an NRV with the checkered grips and like it , but also have clones with smooth wood and one set of ivory polimer laser engraved and like those as well........Buck

[Modoc]

Gotta say other.  Have both and actually want to addcheckerd grips to my RV's in 44 x-long.  Use them as back-up when hunting.  the Hornady Custom loads really make the pistola try and jump out of the hand with the smooth grip .

[Marshal Will Wingam]

I checked "other" because I like some kind of textuire on my grips but it doesn't have to be checkering. Stag, checkering, engraving, etc.

[Avery Goodday]

I checked "other", so guess I owe all y'all an explanation.  Simple, really.  I have simulated stag horn on my .45 Vaqueros.  Shoot duelist and like the feel of these grips.  Not smooth, not as rough as checkering.  Works for me.

[Jubal Starbuck]

I have checkered grips on my '75 Remingtons and like them very well.  They're slimmer than factory wood grips and just feel better.  I also have checkered hard rubbers on a New Vaquero and two old Model Vaqueros which I also like.  I have plain walnut on several clones, as well as one Colt and one Bisley Vaquero with stag grips. I think it varies with each revolver,as well as how ya shoot 'em.

All my guns have the stock wood grips that came with them. I want to put some faux ivory grips on all of them. Just have not been able to decide what kind. I have a RM 60 Conversion, Open Top, 58 Remmy. I plan to and a Richard's conversion. I have thought to go with grips with the Mexican eagle but then after seeing that the Richard's R&D made for Tom Seleck in the movie Last Stand at Sabre River had checkered I started thinking going that way. What have other pards used on these type of revolvers? Is there one kind that would be best for my time frame of yearly 70's?

[ColonelFlashman]

My M,H&Co., Remington, Schofield, Webley, etc. pistoles ether came w/ them originally or could be special ordered.
I've also other, Texas Jack makes a Beautifull Steer Head Grips for my M,H&Co. Pocket Army that is Fantabulous.

Question about checkered grips; Is it SASS legal to have the stock wood grips carved into "fish scale" design?

[ColonelFlashman]

You are able to Carve anythinf you desire intro your grips, just as long as it's purpass is to give a advantage in shooting your 'smokewheel'.
