Put some Hogue WOOD grips on my P89....

[Nakanokalronin]

Thought I'd post a picture of my P89 with Hogue checkered Coco Bolo grips since I think I've only seen 2 other P89s with something other than stock, Hogue finger groove or Pachmayr grip panels.

These grips really make the gun feel very different in a good way. Positive grip without tacky rubber and finger grooves that make it feel like a brick , while dressing it up a tad and giving it some personality. I can't see it as a beater type gun anymore, not because I don't want to damage the grips but because it feels and looks so much better now. :D I would defiantly recommend these to anyone.

The grips took 30 days to arrive since they only have a few on hand at a time. That's okay though since that means these grips were especially made for me. :wink:

Hogue has a complete line-up of wood, G10, aluminum, Damascus and Titanium grips for the P85 through P91 right on their website with prices below each set. I have to warn you though, the Damascus and titanium grips could buy you 3 P-series Rugers. :shock:

Man,I gotta say,I really like those. I've got an almost new P-89 DC that would certainly benefit from them. Sure takes some of the "boring" away from the "P".

Those look really nice. I wonder how big a difference they will make when you shoot it at the range.

I'll let you know later today but I have no doubt much better than the stock grips.

My P89 don't feel so bad sitting in the same rack next to my 1911s anymore. :wink:

Nice.

I have some wood grips that have a Ruger emblem implanted but they are smooth not checkered.

I haven't fired the gun with them on but I think they will be slippery.

Your grips are one of the few others I've seen.

Very nice looking grips

Those grips really class it up. Is your gun a regular blued model, or is it stainless with a finish applied? It looks blued in the photo, but it also looks like it has the Terhune anticorro stamp on the slide?

Its a stainless model for sure.

saw your gun over at arfcom...

it looks good. i would do the same, or something really similar, if i had one...
i am thinking of getting my brother some Hogue wood grips for his cz75.
they have replacement screws too, right?

(thumbs up)

I like those! Looks very good!

Nice Grips. Did you have to do much fitting to get them to work?

Just the excess from the inner grooves and only on one of the panels.

 

[rugerfan100]

Oh man, those look soooo nice...

 

[Nakanokalronin]

Well, I took it to the range and its a big improvement over the stock grip panels. They just feel like quality that really gives you a different appreciation for the P-series. Their not too aggressive yet they have superior control and feel great in the hand rather than something tacky made from Goodyear. :wink:

very nice...

If they are for sale Roy, I'll take them

Hi Flash, Not at this time. I paid too much for them in the heat of battle on ebay. I think they are Ajax that someone rework with medallions.

I have just tried this on a set of "uncle mikes" for my Project 85.

If I can find more grips to modify I may start selling these but uncle mikes are getting harder to find and Ajax is gone too I beleive.

I have some nice dark walnut I might try but it seems like it will be a lot of work to get the fit just right.

Excellent looking grips. I really want a P 89.

that looks really good! i love the look and feel of wood grips!

 

[TurkeyOak]

Sweet! Those grips really dress it up.
I've never owned wood grips as I am a bit of a newbie shooting newer guns.
My P89 came with the Hogue wraparound grips which was one of the reason I bought it. It just felt right.
Maybe on my next one...
