Anyone here try the new Pachmayr Guardian Grip yet?
They came out back in October and ever since, I've had them on my mind. Haven't seen them in a store yet, but the LGS near me are usually a year behind in getting anything new in.
Here's a link to the grips: https://www.lymanproducts.com/brands...iangriptm.html

It IS kinda nifty. Even though my first thought was some industrious engineer put a magazine extension on a revolver, I kind of do like the idea of thinking outside the box.

What's the reputation of Pachmayr?
My experiences with that company's products in the last decades has been dismal including a recent purchase for a K-frame Smith square butt. I noted The Revolver Guy on his site also had little good to say about the square butt K-frame model. Love to see an honest review of these new grips. |

I just put an old style Pachmary Signature on a Ruger Blackhawk. Easy install, nice snug fit and cushy recoil. On this particular application (single action revolver) I like it much better than Hogue. The Hogue does not slide on properly - not a satisfactory fit. A lesser complaint, is the nasty scar the Hogue leaves on the grip frame. That might be tolerated if the fit were satisfactory.
Yes, a positive experience with Pachmayr. I like Hogue on my double action Smiths and Rugers. They are factory in some cases. UncleEd, IMHO the only way to judge a grip is to buy one and try it out. |

Hmm. From a marketing stanpoint, that's not a bad idea. I haven't bought any Pachmayers in this century, but I have sets of their grips that are 37 years old and they're still going string.
