The Lett grips work great for me. Even shooting 180 grain deer killers from Underwood.

 

Same here, I prefer the compact grips. They fit my hand better and try to slim down the gp.

 

I like the Hogues ; both my Ruger and Smith wear them

 

I opted not to complicate matters, my Smith and my Ruger both came with Hogues, which I would have purchased, if they didn't. You either love the grip Hogue gives you, or you don't.

OTOH, I have had some success with Altamont grips. A little pricey, but
well worth the money. Well made, smooth, great fit, last for years.

 

Guardian...welcome aboard...and congrats on the GP100...it's one of my favorite revolvers!

I have, somewhat, smaller hands and the larger Hogue's do not fit in my hand well at all...on the other hand, I have a college bud, who's 6' 6" and he LOVES the Hogue grip...to each their own!

My personal grip preference, for the GP100 and the Super Red Hawks (they share the same grip peg and, hence, the same grips) is the older-style, smaller-size, Lett Rubber grip with the SP101-sized panels (see avatar.) I've found they work well, don't slip, and hold up well in all weather...great for camping / hiking / home & personal defense, and for EDC purposes.

 

I have become a fan of the Altamont grips, they have a couple choices of patterns on the rubber & many different inserts.
I believe they also supply Ruger & other makers with custom grips.

And the factory ( altamont’s) on the Wiley Clapp.

 

Between my GP100 22 and GP100 Match Champion I prefer the ones that come with the GP100 Match Champion for both fit and look. Granted I only shoot 38 and not 357 but that has more to do with my hands than anything else so I don't know if I would be as much of a fan of the wood grips if I shot 357.

 

I prefer the original Lett grip.

 

I like the Hogue 80010 on my MC. I shaved some of the hump off the back strap and narrowed the top a little bit, plus shaved some out of the speed loader relief. It's a lot better than stock.

Down with finger grooves!

 

I also don't like the finger groves on the OEM Hogue grips. My first improvement was to "dremel" them off with a sanding drum and that did help a lot.

The final fix was to buy a pair of the "Match Champion" grips from ShopRuger (the 20% new gun discount coupon helped) and those have been just great.

I have no experience with Altamont grips on a GP-100 but have them on my MkIV and they are very well made. Their Walnut Target grip for the GP-100 looks very promising.

 

I'm a fan of the compact lett style grips. They feel the best in my hands.

 

The "soft" Hogue for me, with the addition of the "lanyard screw" (also available from Hogue) on all my revolvers.

 

I settled for the nylon Hogues on my 3” GP100. Thinner than the rubber or wood versions.
The finger grooves are correct for my paws, I may eventually sand down the tail flip but so far it’s not a hindrance to concealed carry.

 

My favorites are the original Lett's style rubber and wood panel grips, but I never really had a problem with the Hogue rubber grips. I would like to get a set of Hogue wood grips for my 5 inch bbl GP100 but just don't want to break loose with the coins to get one.

 

I like either the Hogues without the fingergrips, or the original grips with inserts. Liked them enough to get both for my GP100 in 10mm. The wood rompers were nice, until I sent some 200 and 220 gr hardcast loads down range.

 

I have big hands, and I really like the Hogue Rosewood grips with the finger grooves. They are really comfortable to me.

 

The Hogue rubber grip is ugly as sin, but very functional for me. It absorbs some felt recoil, which isn't a huge deal. The best feature is the shape. While not necessarily the most comfortable, it does lock my firing hand grip into place. The benefit of that is that I don't find myself adjusting my grip between shots. The older style grip was much more prone to slipping slightly in my hand during firing.

 

Thank you for all the responses everyone. Range Dog, so you prefer the snakeskin or checkered finish on the altamont lett style grip?

I had also thought about their walnut target grips, but i haven't found any reviews or videos about them so I wasnt sure about taking a leap of faith on them.

 

I do, all of their “ treaded” type grips have a nice feel, without imprinting your hand.
They remind me of the old packmeyer grips that everyone used on the Colt pythons , but much softer.
Have a look at their sight. Mine took a while to get, but definitely happy with them. Also bought a nice set of wood silverbacks for a j frame smith from them.

 

The Letts that came with my 1996 made gun. Shot another with rubber grips and it did well, but the Letts have those wood panels. Best of both worlds.

 

Eagle makes a nice wood grip for the GP100/SRH that's styled after the classic S&W target stocks. Another off-the-shelf option if you like wood but don't like finger grooves.

 

Those grips are superb, as is the whole revolver. Nice work Wave!

 

On the Altamont, I soften the ridge at the back of the speed loader relief. My thumb knuckle ends up exactly on top of that spot.

 

I too find the Left's comfortable.

 

+1 for the original Lett grips. I tried a set of rubber grips then went back to the originals.

 

I enjoy shooting my GP100 with these.

 

i think i have some sort of world record for the number of grips i have for my GP100's

last i remember it was like 12 sets of grips - currently i favor some of these

 

I wish ruger would go back to putting the letts as stock grips on new gp100 instead of the huge, clunky finger groove hogue mine came with. Now, I have to spend another 50 bucks to add them to the gun. The hogue must be cheaper for them to buy or something. Anyways, my plan is to get the altamont checkered lett style grips in a month or two, once I get soke Christmas stuff paid off my credit card I ordered a pair of no finger groove hogues to put on my gp100 in the meantime, since i could get those for 21.50 on amazon w/free shipping.

 

They are putting the Lett style on the 7 shot GP’S.
