S&W 4506 - Factory Grips Suck!

Grapeshot · August 19, 2000, 12:52 PM

Anybody know where I can find some grips which are just as thin but have a more curved backstrap that fills the palm of your hand? I was hoping for rubber, but if expensive wood is all that's available, that might be okay.

The original factory grips were curved, but were recalled.

I use Hogue replacement grips on my 4506. I like them more than the factory grips...easier to take them off to clean the mag well and internals you cannot get to with the factory grips. I think that Uncle Mike's was making grips, but I am not sure.
BTW, anyone know of nay aftermarket grips for a 1076? Just picked one up yesterday, I have never seen aftermarkets for it as the frame is different (decocker).
Grapeshot, email me and I will see if we have any floating around the department that are spares.
