What size Grips do the S&W X frame Revolvers take?

[graydog]

Hi
Can someone out there tell me if the S&W 460 & 500 have there own special grip or if they use one of the other S&W size frame guns? Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks Graydog

Believe they are L-Frame grips and I know that sounds odd but there is a reason for it.

While the grip frame is smaller than the N-Frame, it allows a larger amount of rubber in the X-Frame grips. More rubber = more recoil absorption which is a very good thing in the X-frames!

The X-frame grips also fit N-Frame round butt guns well. Unfortunately you can only get them from S&W Directly.
