[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ruger SP 101 9mm - Hogue, Pachmayr or?

Posted: 5/3/2020 3:42:12 PM EDT

Hogue Rubber Mongrip:

Pachmayr Diamond Pro:

Any other suggestions? 115 grn FMJ WWB 9x19mm feels like a rubber hammer fall w/ the stock grips. I've had wrist issues in the past, so not interested in beating myself up just for fun. Expectations for the gun are mostly range use and occasional winter pocket carry as a secondary. Primary will ultimately be a Poly 80 26, so reloads will be from Glock mags.

Hogue are most comfortable

VZ grips? Could those work for you?

They look kinda hard. Given I'm beating my hands up already w/ the minimal padding of the factory grips, I'm reluctant to spend more than the Hogue for a harder grip. Look nice, though.

I like the hogue on my 9mm SP101. It feels very nice. A little big for jeans front pocket carry but I have J frames for that.

I tried a Pachmayr wood grip and the fitment was terrible.

Ordered the Hogue directly from them. Should be here in a few days, I expect.

They are ugly but I am a huge fan of the hogues

Makes it look like a larger gun - almost Smith like:

I bought a Hogue for my S&W 442 and it is heads and tails better than what comes on them. My SP101 has the factory grips with different inserts. I may have to get some Hogues for it as well. Hogue makes a great product for the money-very comfortable and rugged. Hogue wood grips, while more expensive are a game changer.

I thought about wood grips but was surprised at how punishing 9x19mm is with the stock grips. Hence I opted for rubber.

9mm punishing? Ever shoot 357 magnum? Or bigger?

How do you like the hogues? The SP101 monogrip feels great to me, probably the best feeling grip of all my handguns. (Just my opinion of course)

My ol' lady @ A&M got a .44 Magnum S&W for graduation. He picked up 150 rounds of Magnums & 50 rnds of Specials. We shot the lot.

By the end of the day, we weren't flinching any more b/c we couldn't feel our hands.

Shot it w/ the Hogues today. I can hit in single action, but DA is awful.

I'll need to gen up a powderpuff target load to enjoy shooting it, then carry it occasionally w/ the 26 carry load.
