I like them all:

Pach Presentation

Pach Gripper

Hog mono

 

I generally use either my LB custom or monogrip.

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

1 Rossi 357 Model 92 (lever)

1 CZ 75B

poke I agree,  the Hogues are easiest to find so have more of them than the Pach grippers, Pach Pres work well also, and are fairly easy to find! 

 

LB will be the way I go for the custom look and feel!

Ever since I got a couple of Grippers, I have gotten rid of the Hogue's. Never have cared for the Presentation grips.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Grippers are no longer made, fairly difficult to find. Sometimes available on ebay or gunbroker and will auction at up to $50.

that would explain my not being able to locate one. Is of no consequence. I'm familiar with the mono grip , the only reason i liked the pach gripper better was the sqaured butt of the grip.

Watch ebay they pop on there once in awhile.  I have one that was  not in very good shape so going to carve it down in to what will work! 

 

For  cc check with LB nad his grips.     Best made in the country!

+1 on pachs, pretty much have replaced all of my stock small and medium frame revolver grips with grippers, the larger frames with presentations.  I like them a lot.  I'd love to try a set of the many custom wood ones I see in the pictures forum.  They make my rubber grips look like cheap beer compared to fine wine.  Are they as comfortable as the rubber grips?

On the customs feel Yes they are made to form fit the hand, LB will work with you as far what you need!  I hope to gather more of them in the near future!  Pach Grippers are a great grip (if they would only make them again)!  I may work on cutting down a Hogue to lessen it's bulk, if I do pics will go up!  poke

As I like wood & prefer finger grooves there was only really one choice for me. My  minor gripe? I wish they'd used the same size & type of screw to fit the grip to the frame. That small slot screw would have been much better if it had been a hex bolt like the original.

I love the grippers--buy them when I can.  However, for pure shooting pleasure it is hard to beat the Hogue's.

My kids like them because the hogues fit their hands better also.
