T grips on a revolver?

[Magyars]

Saw this question asked on another forum and thought that it was something that would be interesting to see the Cotieri's thoughts.
Like, dislike, neutral?
Pictures?

I have them on all my S&W J frames. I think they're great.

I have a modern polymer reproduction T-Grip that I bought like a year ago.

Only it doesn't fit the current stocks on my revolver. And I can't find a set of stocks that I want to buy so that it'll fit.

*Sigh*

Neutral.
One of my buying points is how well a particular arm fits ME.
I can see a need, though.

I had a Redhawk for my truck gun (traveling across the country, making music happen) for a long time. It was OK, but box stock it was never as comfortable as my Model 29s were.

The more I practiced with the Redhawk, the more I felt it needed a tuck or two. Fancy grips did not help much.
It was the grip angle that did not fit me the way I liked.
Old lesson, learned a few times before it stuck.

That said, I am all for an accessory that makes shooting better, more fun, relieves fatigue, encourages practice and aids accuracy for the individual shooter.

So, neutral, leaning toward OK with it.

I like them with the factory magnas as shown. My favorite practical grip is a Secret Service style boot grip like Eagle makes. The t-grip mimics the hand feel of that and looks super cool.

I love them and have even paid too much for revolvers just because they have them...I have accumulated an embarrassing amount of grip adapters and if I'd had any sense when I was younger I'd bought every one of them I could direct from Tyler for $5.99...

The pachmyer plastic one's ain't too bad and are still affordable...

I love the vintage look of T-grips and they do fill the space up and make revolvers a bit more comfortable to shoot. There's a company on Ebay that makes Tyler reproductions as well.

Have them on several Js and Ks.

Who was the competitor from the 40s? Mershon or something like that. Had those on my greatgrandfather's Smith pre-17 (Outdoorsman) .22.

Those adapters are very, very collectible to the Smith guys...Very nice....

I have one for my 3” K frame, but don’t really like the feel in my hands. I prefer just the magmas. I got Medium hands. I really want to try a pair of round-butt K frame target/banana stocks, but those are rare and pricey. That’s my favorite on J frames

Factory magnas don't fit my hands well. https://bkgrips.com/ makes a nice plastic reproduction T-grip that won't break the bank, and he's a pleasure to do business with, too. I have a couple on different revolvers that I just couldn't bear to put rubber grips on. They really do work, and fill the hand while retaining the trim profile of the factory wood grips.

I have them on a model 65 and it is knight and day difference in comfort. All my other K frames have aftermarket grips and so does my one N frame. Stock grips just do not fill my hand. Jim.

I like them!

I've never owned a set of these iconic grips. They were trend setters for sure!
