Hogue Bantam Style Rubber Grip for S&W K or L Frame Round Butt Revolvers

Bought a set for my 2.5” Model 686. At first, they appeared to be too small. I had my doubts. Not to worry. They fit perfectly. They are as small as they can be with still having a grip surface for all your fingers. They look and feel great. They install firmly and securely without the use of a grip screw. Nothing to come loose and get lost. Outstanding design. Worth every Penny.

Very nice grips. Easy to install with clear instructions and an installation tool included. The grips fit my revolver perfectly, fits my hand and are not slippery. Wish that I had bought these years ago.

These are great. I put them on my Smith 686 + Deluxe. What a difference! The wood grips that came on the gun are beautiful, but the gun never felt right in my hand. I came close to selling the gun before I tried these Bantam grips. The gun now feels natural in my hand, and I can reach the trigger and hammer much easier. The totally exposed backstrap gives the gun a different look that is also very appealing. Love them.

Awesome fit on S&W model 1905 5th change 38spl!

Short version: Better, more secure grip if you plan on using it for defensive purposes. Improved clearance when loading/unloading. Grip profile optimized for concealment while still allowing for all fingers to grip (full-hand grip). Details: I used this to replace the "Deluxe" wood grips on my S&W 686 Plus 3". While the factory wood grips were very attractive, with nicely shaped finger grooves and a curved design for concealment, they were lacking in a few important areas. They interfered with extracting empty cartridges, consistently trapping one of the empties between the cylinder and wood, forcing you to rotate the cylinder to get them out. This Hogue grip has a slimmer profile right behind the cylinder allowing complete, rapid extraction without having to fiddle around. This slimmer profile also allows better engagement with a speed loader, allowing for faster reloads. The shape of this Hogue grip positions your hand slightly higher than the factory grip, for better recoil control. Also, the Hogue finger grooves are slightly closer together, resulting in a more secure hand feel. While this grip looks abbreviated at the heel, it's still big enough to get your pinky on, for a full-hand grip while maintaining an organic shape for better concealment. Finally, like all Hogue synthetic grips, the rubber texture has enough tackyness and give to really let you get a strong grip without feeling it might slip/move around with sweaty hands. Installation is super simple; it takes longer to remove the old grips than install these. Overall, I really like this grip and considering it's intended defensive use, I feel it's a huge improvement over the factory wood grips.

Fit, finish and feel are great. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I haven't shot the gun since the install.

I have this installed on my S&W 586 L-Comp. Originally my L-Comp came with this grip, which I had installed, but then I purchased a custom wood grip and while removing the original Hogue grip I accidentally damaged it beyond repair (completely my fault, not a fault on this grip). While the custom wooden grip looked fantastic, I kept missing my old Hogue grip. Sure, it's more utilitarian and doesn't exactly pop out visually, however, for me it's far more comfortable plus it kinda has a certain visual aesthetic of its own, it looks more aggressive which I kinda like. Now that I have this Hogue back on my L-Comp it feels amazing again. It's super comfortable with just a little bit of squeeze to it and it's more comfortable to shoot with because to me I feel less perceived recoil. Worth noting is that the original Hogue grip that came with my L-Comp also came with a spreader tool, making it easier to install and uninstall, however, the grip I purchased on Amazon didn't come with that tool. That being said, I was still able to install it just fine (I had lost my original tool) - but uninstalling might be a pain, if I choose to uninstall in the future, though I don't see myself doing such soon because I really love the feel of this grip! Great bang for the buck!

BACKGROUND I have a Smith and Wesson Performance Center Model 586 L-Comp on a K-Frame. This is a 7 round 357 Magnum with a 3" barrel and night sights on the front blade. It is my concealed carry revolver on a Lobo Leather Paddle holster. The factory grips are nice but they're wood and they only fit two fingers on the frame. INSTALLATION ENSURE THAT THE GUN IS UNLOADED. Before you start, DOUBLE CHECK. Remove the screw on your factory grip, and open the grips like a clamshell. Using the accompanying tool that comes with the grips, widen the rear part of the grips gently to allow the frame to slide onto the grooves. As you advance the frame, use the tool to widen the rear part of the grips. No screws to tighten. No contorted swivel to coordinate onto the rail. It literally takes about a minute to install the new grips. USE The grips have finger grooves. The rear of the grips still expose the steel frame. The added value of a full grip is greater control. The width of the grip allows for better recoil handling. The tactile feel gives excellent stability. My accuracy is improved. Overall, I'm very pleased with these grips. Concealment is not hindered by the grip profile. VERDICT If you're looking for a solid concealment grip for a K or L Framed Smith and Wesson, then this is as good as it gets. Excellent feel, excellent control, and better accuracy in my hands over the two fingered checkered wood grips. Two thumbs up. Highly Recommend.

I have a S&W 686 4 1/2 barrel. The factory grips broke right where threaded portion of the grip is, the plastic tower disintegrated. I needed some new grips and thought I would try the Hogue grips (price was right). They were very easy to install using the wedge provided, and fit perfectly to the gun. I have a fairly large hand and these grips fit to my hand very nice. I love them! Very grippy even with moist hands.

タナカのM19に使用。見た目も握り心地も最高です。

Preso da scettico, mi sono dovuto ricredere è molto comoda anche se per chi ha mani grandi non la consiglio è leggermente piccola, monta con una facilità pazzesca e da molta stabilità allosparo lo consiglio per migliorare nel tiro mirato per buoni risultati.

Great grip but I bought the wrong one I have the square frame. Live and learn lol. Maybe I could exchange for a square one? I have an original 586.

流石本物です。タナカのモデルガンにぴったりつきました。握った感じも、手に吸い付くようで良好です。
