Grippers work for me fine...

Does anyone here have experience with Pachmayers on a Redhawk ? Share what you know please. I am especially interested in finding out about the size differences between the two models.
I don't like Hogues, as they don't cover the backstraps on my Redhawks.
The gripper grips do, and this seems to soak up the recoil better.
I've seen the Presentation grips, but have always used the grippers. I'm perfectly satisfied with them.

Lemonade and Banna Splits???
Greetings All:
How did we go from overyly priced Shooting Gloves to Lemonade and Banna Splits?
WineLover: One of the other guys on this forum was nice enough to offer me a set of Uncle Mikes grips for the price of postage. Pretty darn magnanamous of him if you ask me.
Being new Single action revolvers, I wanted to check out other alternatives before I asked him to go through the trouble of sending them out. I guess I took to long to decide. Haven't heard from him since.
Anyhow, I took a look at those Uncle Mikes grips via the internet. They look almost exactly like the Pachmayr Presentation Grips I initially purchased for my new Ruger SBH Hunter. I saw them on a BFR revolver but, when I went to the Uncle Mikes website, I found that these grips weren't listed anymore.
Mr. Odis; sorry to hear about your blood loss. I can see how an extended session with full power loads could do that to a guy. I have yet to shoot that many full power loads in succession.
Here's a couple of tips I just thought up that might help the next time you head out for one of those prolonged full power shooting sessions.
(1) Buy yourself a bunch of bannanas. Peel a couple of them. Before dropping the hammer on any rounds, lay one of those bannana skins between the palm of your hand and the butt of the grip; being sure to position that bannana skin so that it cover the web of you hand. This should mitigate the chances of further blood loss.:mrgreen:
(2) If you experience any soreness when you done, I suggest that you stop on your way home from that shooting session and buy yourself some ice cold lemonade. Not just for consumption. Massage a little of it into the sore spot of your shooting hand.[smilie=1:
If all else fails, go out and buy yourself a pair of Overpriced-Cheaply-Made Shooting Gloves.
After Pondering this last alternative, I've come to the conclusion that this might actually work to stop the punishing effects of prolonged full power shooting sessions. You see; If you pay the 50, 60, 70 or 80 bucks for the Shooting Gloves, that leaves you with that much less money to buy primers, powder, gas to get you out to the range, etc..
No shooting equals no negative physical effect from the recoil. Problem solved.:drinks:
See you guys at the range.:Fire:
