Help ID Pachmayr? Dragoon?

Jeff2855 · September 16, 2019, 12:54 PM

Can anyone help ID this Pachmayr? It looks similar to one for a Virginian Dragoon but not sure? The top looks different. The only markings inside are "2" and "X".
Any comments appreciated!

I'm afraid all I can tell you is that it is not visually identical to the one on my Ruger Blackhawk.

You can't tell much about Pachmayr grips by just looking at 'em. They all look pretty much the same. Try asking Gunparts via their forum. They list 'em but as Not in stock. They maybe able to ID 'em though.

I may not be saying this right …..

Have you opened it up and read what it says, on the inside surfaces ??? A few months ago, I picked up a set of Pachmayr grips for $1.00. The dealer stated that he did not knw what they fit. I opened them up like a clam and it said they were for a Smith Square butt. He said thanks and that I got a heck of a deal. I gave him $2.00 for them. I Know I can put them to good use. ….

Be Safe !!!

Looking at the front, where the edge of the upright turns to fill in behind the trigger, that is very clearly a "V" shape angle. The same spot on Blackhawk grips is an "L" shape (90dregee angle).

Obviously for some Single action, but not the Ruger Blackhawk.

I'm told Pachmayr is still in business, why not call them??

I have ruled out the Virginian Dragoon. They are too short for it. Any ideas?

They look to me like something that belongs on a Colt Diamondback or Police Positive.

It almost looks like the Presentation Grips I have on my Security Six.

How about Freedom Arms .454?

They don't look like an DA Pachmayr grips I've ever seen, they are for some Single Action but its not Ruger, I have several of those and have already mentioned the difference between the posted pics and the grips I have.

Ya know, the external appearance to me looks like the Ruger Bisley (?) grip as done on some of their SA a few years back.

**Aguila Blanca** · October 19, 2019, 08:30 AM

If they are for a single action, it would almost certainly have to be a Bisley of some sort. They obviously aren't going to fit any Colt-like "plowhandle" single action grip frame.

Jeff2855 · October 24, 2019, 04:03 PM

I'm leaning towards the Casull now. I don't think they are Bisley just based on the logo position in relation to the screw.

How about the non-Dragoon Virginian? The one made by Hammerli. Maybe one of the Hawes SA's?

I wish I knew. I'd love to connect these grips to someone who is looking for them.
