Smith & Wesson Model 386 with Pachmayr Decelerator Grips
Changing grips on your revolver is a good way to feel like you are getting a new gun. Furthermore, when you take off the grips, you can use that opportunity to clean and lubricate your gun. It’s a good thing to fiddle with your personal defense firearms. This helps you know your equipment which is an important thing for any personal defense equipment.
Pachmayer Decelerator Grips are comfortable and provide a great cushion against the hefty recoil of the .357 magnum cartridge. They fit the hand like a glove. I just swapped out the factory Hogue Bantams (also good grips!) for the Pachmayers, since this handgun will not be used for concealed carry.
Hogue bantam grips are great for concealed carry and do a reasonably good job of custioning recoil. However, the Pachmayer Decelerators are exceptional in terms of fit to hand and recoil management. They are made for home defense.
