Never really been happy with the stock grips on my 627 V-Comp. Like most revolvers, I found the grip too small in both length and diameter. Further, the exposed metal frame on the backstrap transmitted the recoil directly into your thumb web...without the benefit of any padding.
Picked up the S&W "Model 500 Impact Absorbing Hogue Square Butt Conversion" grip.
Seems to address all my issues as its longer, thicker and wraps the rubber 'padding'over the metal frame on the backstrap. Haven't had it to the range yet, but feels far better in my hand.
Original on the right
Again, original on right. Note the backstrap is cut out to expose the frame.
New grips on the gun....originals beside.
The new grip also seems to encourage a higher grip, which was always a little uncomfortable with the original. Can't wait to try it; but it looks like a great improvement!
