Title: Tyler T grips
Post by: gunman42782 on February 22, 2011, 01:50:50 PM

Anybody use them?  Thinking of getting one for my Redhawk.

Gunman, I have used them many times, but on J frame and K frame Smiths, they do fill a niche if you don't want to buy after market grips, but in a Redhawk, I am guessing it is in a hard hitting caliber and I would spend the beans for a 20-30 dollar Hogue rubber grip.

I agree w/m25...also probably wouldn't fit the RH.

I have tried both the full size Hogues and the ones that are on the 4 inch models.  Not crazy about either.  The wood grips feel fine, until I shoot it.  Then it will rap my middle finger.  That is why I am thinking the T grip will help.

To be clear, I love hogue grips.  On most guns.  Just not on the Redhawk.

They are great for expanding the grip of a small frame, BIMO not so good for a magnum caliber. Agree with m25 , rubber grip is better.

I prefer the look of wood grips on a revolver.  I haven't tried the T grip adaptors but want to.  All that being said, the used Redhawk  I bought came with a set of Uncle Mike's  (no longer available to my knowledge) rubber grips that are fanatastic.
