Looking for softer grips for my super Blackhawk 44 mag

[ghh3rd]

I’ve got a Ruger super Blackhawk 44 magnum that has the original rosewood grips. I’ve used it like this for quite a while, but I’m now considering getting a pair of Hogue grips. I did put the rubberized Hoague grips on my 686 357 mag, and it sure made a pleasant difference.

What kind of grips, style etc. did you choose for your super Blackhawk 44 and why.

Thanks

Pachmayr. A different shade of ugly than the Hogues but absorb more recoil.

Have a 41 SBH Hunter and would like to do the same thing. Checked Lymans site and only SBH grips are for the square trigger guard models.

I have had a Ruger Super Blackhawk since the sixties. I have shot nothing but full loads (and near full loads) by the thousands. When I first got the revolver, I put a set of Pachmayr grips on the revolver. I have never been bothered by recoil since. I LOVE the Pachmayrs. Many speak disparagingly of them called them "Goodyears", ugly, etc. Since I am a serious shooter, I want and NEED something that WORKS. Pack's DO work, so they are on nearly all of my single action and double action guns. I have relatively large hands and long fingers so I also appreciate the handfilling attributes.



YMMV,

I've used the Pachy's and Hogue rubber grip on my SBH. Threw both of them away. The Hogue made the gun feel squirelly to me and the Pachy's abraded my palm. I put a Herret Shooting Star grip on it in 1972 and it's still there. It fills my hand better reducing felt recoil.

Which just goes to show that we are all assembled a bit differently. The trick is to find what works for YOU!

I like that plum bluing on your pistol I'm running this on my RSBH https://www.altamontco.com/pistol-gr...uperblackhawk/

That “plum bluing” is just the light. It came with a very nicely polished and blued finish but has some “Honorable loss of bluing” from normal wear and tear. This has been an excellent performer since I first got it.

I sent mine back to Ruger a few years ago to replace my barrel and they re blued it It came back with a deep blue color looks awesome

+1 for Pachmyer, have the same grips on my SBH. not pretty but works like a charm for me.

I have a 3 screw SBH like the one in the photo, I'm going to put rubber grips on it. They're ugly but really improve the shooting experience. I have them on a model 28 that cover the backstrap and prefer them to Hogue on my S&W's.

What ever you get make sure that they fit the gun with out any movement and that they fit your hand.

The last two sets of Pachmayr revolver grips I have purchased(Ruger Blackhawk and S&W Model 15) have fit terribly. The new Pachmayr grips pale in comparison to the older grips. I ended up going with a Hogue Mono grip on the Blackhawk. Fit was very good and felt great in the hand. Looks wise,I thought it was an abomination,but to each their own.

Pachmayr's are made in mexico. Another piece of **** out of mexico. I have several good AMERICAN MADE PACHMAYR'S, they fit well but I have never liked them on Single Actions. I put a pair of HOGUE'S on my 5 1/2" SBH. It's a bit different than most SBH's. It started out as a 10 1/2' silhouette gun with the heavy bbl. I had the bbl cut down to the cylinder rod length of 5 1/2". It's a bit snappy when shooting the SAECO 265grGC. The HOGUE'S made the difference the PACHMAYR'S didn't. I have a pair of old HERRETT SHOOTING STAR'S it used to wear back in it's Silhouette day. HOGUE'S are better for the ARTHRITIS earned from too many hot/heavy loads for too many years.

Quoted for truth. Everybody has a different hand & feel. As an instructor, I teach that a person needs a gun to fit their hands. Sadly, sometimes, it takes several different tries to find the best fit.

Dale,,, NICE 4 digit OM Super!

I'm a big fan of Hogue grips

[Shuz]

I have Hogues on all my Smiths and all my Rugers. They really work for me.

[mac60]

This isn't a Super Blackhawk (it's a nm BH in .30 carbine). The old grips got damaged years ago and I decided to put Hogue grips on it. Really like the way they feel, and I think they make the gun point better so I left 'em on.

I'm a huge fan of the Hogue Mono Grip!
I have a set on a 4 5/8" Blackhawk in 45 Colt that has seen many HEAVY loads.
I also have a 6.5" BFR in 475 Linebaugh that wears a set intended for a Super Black Hawk. The 475 can really dish out some punishment, but the Mono Grip tames it down quite a bit.

I recently bought a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag with a 3-3/4" bbl in a Bisley grip frame. I searched the Hogue and Pachmayr sites and can't find any rubber grips made for the Bisley frame. Any suggestions?
