Pachmayr 05148 Decelerator Grips, S&W N Frame Round Butt,black

I have these grips on several of my N frame revolvers and I can feel the difference between them and the standard rubber grips. The felt recoil is much less. I also put a set on my J frame concealed carry model 60. They are a little larger and somewhat more difficult to cover up but they make the little gun much more pleasant to shoot.

First I purchased a Hogue grip for my S & W 329 NG 2 3/4" barrel, it had a poor back-strap on it. Then I purchased this grip, good thing, it fits perfectly. I saw some bad reviews where people struggled with the screw sticking out from the grip. I believe some people may be over tightening it. The screw does not need to go that tight, the screw is just to keep the 2 halves of the grip together. I applied a small amount of blue (medium strength) Loctite thread-locker to the threads and tightened it down so the end of the threads were even with the outside edge of the threads on the grip. I shot 100 44 mag. rounds (240 grain), worked great. Love this grip!

Returning these. They are definitely not the Pachmayr you knew. These don't fit, are too soft, and SUCK! Don't buy. I am trying to return mine to seller and got old/new stock on Gunbroker.com. These things suck, stink (like chemicals), they moved when mounted (as in I held the gun and barrel dropped a 1/4 inch), and the screw was no where near the right size (outside the grip over 1/8 inch). These grips are great if you never shoot your gun, want it to smell like Chernobyl, and want grips that fall off after a shot. I never gave these a chance. Tried to put them on, said no way, laughed, then was upset I spent money on them, and now I hope I can get my money back. Already got old stock on gunbroker for 20 bucks!! Please beware of these new Pachs. I hate Hogues, but these are like the sick and dying sister of Hogues.

These made my s&w 629 enjoyable to shoot. Full coverage of the frame backstrap to absorb recoil and prevent hand bruising. Only 4 stars because the grip is poorly finished, the mold seam is poorly trimmed and the grips detract from the appearance of my revolver.

It is comfy as heck. Perfect for my SW 44Magnum 329PD that kicks like a mule.

The fit sucks. The retaining screw location is funky. You would thing bring a one piece grip like a taco it would fit great, not what I found. If you tighten the screw too tight it sticks out too far interfering with your hand. Tighten it normally and you get a gap in the heel. To be fair I haven't fired it yet with these grips so I won't rip em too hard. Probably why Pachmayr discontinued these and I found them here on Amazon.

This fit my S&W 629-4 perfectly. Very easy to install. And the soft compound definitely softens the recoil on my 4 inch barrel 44 magnum revolver.

I found these grips to fit well. No movement on my 625 at all. No fitting was required. I feared I would have to give up my 625 due to my arthritic thumb. But these grips did the trick. I recommend these grips. Not pretty like wood, but way more comfortable!

Having a problem getting the thru screw past the mainspring, but we're working on it . Mainspring or something else could have been changed, but we're trying to solve the problem .
