Well, finally got this one off lay a way. Sorry for the sucky pictures, but my camera stinks. I ordered some Tyler T grips for it. From what I am hearing, these crooks took everybody's money even after they went out of business, and their website is still on too. Don't know if I can deal with the wood grips without the Tylers. May have to put the rubber Hogues back on it.





After shooting it both with the rubber grips and the wood ones, think I am gonna have to go with the rubber grips. I have to put my pinky finger under the grip with the wood ones, just like I shoot a single action revolver. Not real comfortable. I knew I would have this problem, as I have never found a grip that felt good with the Redhawk. I do wish they would update the Redhawk with a GP100/Super Redhawk grip stud and lockwork!!!!

That's a good one!

Tim, PM me your address. I'll ship you those Uncle Mike's to try. Those grips are great. If you like them, they're only $12, and you can order a set and ship mine back.

Where can you order the Uncle Mikes grips? Thought they where no longer made? Heck, for $12 I will give them a try.

...Tim...if I remember rightly, I saw a set of Hogues that fit the Super Redhawk/GP100...but it didn't say Redhawk...different grip frame???? They were for $20, I think...

gunman42782

Yeah, the Super Redhawk and Redhawk are totally different grips.

Shawn, I ordered a set of the Uncle Mikes. I have used Uncle Mikes grips in the past on other revolvers, and found them to be good. Had them on a Smith model 60 years ago. I have just never had any luck with any grip that felt really good on the Redhawk. I probably need to have it round butted . I think that would help. I have some pretty big hands. A Smith 629 with Houges feels great to me. Just something about the Redhawks grip frame. It actually feels better with the wood grips to me, until I shoot it! Then they suck. The bantam Hogues are not terrible, but they sure are ugly. The full size Hogues are HUGE on this gun. I have never tried the Pachymares because I never liked them on any other gun as well as Houges.

Bountyhunter

I hope the Uncle Mike's work out for you. They did for me.

Before you know it you're gonna have half that shop on Lay-a-way Tim.


Really like the Redhawk though, I'd love to find one of the ones in .357 Magnum.

It's a disease.

Bountyhunter

And the only cure is death.

deputy125

so Tyler T is officially out of business????????????/

XLCH

Yes, no, who knows, http://www.t-grips.com/

Bountyhunter

I believe that they were shut down by the AG after taking orders and payment and not sending out any product.

XLCH

I heard that also then I heard that the OK AG has not done a thing???????

Bountyhunter

Well, whatever. I won't send them any money.
