NEW GRIPS

[papa61]

So after seeing some of the work you guys do I didn't want topost something as silly as a new pair of grip panels. But hey, I'm proud of what I have and I like it.

So here is my Taurus 945 with new black linen micarta grip panels from Altamont. They fill out the hand without making the grip feel larger. May be only for show since the alloy frame contributes to extreme muzzle flip but we'll see after I get her to the range.

took her to the range this past weekend with the smooth Altamont grips. it handled better than with the originals.

Don't get me wrong......I love the look. I once had a chromed Beretta with those same style of smooth black grips, it was gona be my bed side piece. Then the bump in the night reminded me of how sweaty my hands get when I'm nervous, agitated or excited. I couldn't hold steady aim. My normal grip now turned the gun slightly right. Once I realized that distraction took my focus off of clearing the house and doing as trained, I sold the beautiful piece soon afterwards. 

Moral is, hope the little bit of grip on the front and rear are enough......but it looks good.

no issues, I can even one hand it with my off hand and maintain control.
