Beautiful Grips!
I purchased a used Smith and Wesson 15-7 which came with heavily worn rubber grips, and I really wanted to upgrade not only the appearance, but also the weird, sticky feel of the rubber grips. I was guided to Altamont by a local gun store owner and I am very pleased with my decision. Unlike some cheaper brands, these include two steel pins that aid in keeping the grips aligned with each other while the machined cutout for the round butt frame fits perfectly. The detailing in the engraving and checkering is superb and the finish is the perfect balance between polished wood without looking like it's encased in clearcoat. The feel in the hand is fantastic and adds just enough heft to the grip to help balance the pistol whereas the rubber grips I had were so light that the barrel drooped if I held the gun up for more than a few seconds. Granted, that is a problem more with me than the gun and is alleviated with practice, but these Altamont grips will certainly make practicing a whole lot more enjoyable, to say nothing about the stunning appearance. As for shooting, the recoil is indeed more pronounced in the padded space below the thumb where the most force is exerted back compared to the rubber grips, but it isn't nearly as bad as it is with revolvers with skinnier grips. These add just enough thickness without being fat to fill the hand and spread the force of recoil out. In all, I find it comfortable enough to shoot a hundred rounds in an hour without any kind of lingering discomfort. Money well spent (and less than comparable grips from Hogue!), and I anticipate these grips will do well on this gun for many years to come. I absolutely would recommend to a friend.

Classic look and feel of real wood.
I love these Altamont grips. They fill the hand a little better than the stock rubber grips and look better to boot. I avoid finger grooves but Altamont offers a wide variety of shapes and sizes to match your needs. P

Beautiful and well made
Beautiful grip, installed it on my s&w 686 and my gun club buddy said it was the sexiest revolver he’s ever seen. Love it.

Great product.

Perfect fit on Smith said Wesson 686 plus
These grips are beautiful on my 686 plus. They fit so tight I was cautious about pushing them together so after lining up the pins and a constant amount of pressure they snapped right in!
