Who has the best grips for Colt Python?

[mrmojo32]

I am looking for some good grips (stocks) for Colt Python and have found many by googleing on the net. Can anyone recommend some good quality ones?

I have been wondering the same thing. After having a GLOCK and a KIMBER both malfunction, twice each, during a brief range session with Remington factory ball ammo, I wanna go back to carrying my Python. It always goes BANG and usually hits what it is aimed at.

Please let me know.

I have a pair of beautiful wood Hogues on mine, fit and feel great. No issues.
I have have a set of real stag on a Smith 27 3.5" that also are great.

Colt quit making the Python about a decade ago. So many companies have discontinued making the stocks. I'd have to do an internet search to find out who still makes them or look for them on ebay or gunbroker or auction arms. The last I looked original Colt factory stocks for a Python were going into the $100 range or greater. So I'd be sure to keep the factory ones if I were replacing them. The Colt Trooper pre MKIII and MKIV uses the same stocks as does the older Colt 357 magnum. That was the model's name 357. The MKIII replaced the older Trooper in 1969 and the MKIV I think was 1981. So you'd be looking for stuff to find older weapons.

Mine shot very well with Pachmeyer Presentation grips. I think they also make a "gripper" model that should serve you well for SD/HD use.

2 suggestions

I had a Ruger Security Six and years ago I ditched the stock wood grips for Pachmayr Presentations which was an improvement. I hadn't been used for a while but recently took it out of the safe and I decided to upgrade again. I put on Pachmayr Gripper Combat grips and they feel much better. They are molded with finger grooves so find a shop with some on a display and try them out.

My second suggestion is Laser grips from Crimson Trace. Just put a set on my Taurus CIA and like them alot.
