For those of you who have had pachmyr grips; do these print less and have a better feel?

They do have a better feel but I can't say that the print is less. I like them very much and did try to buy them my Taurus 85 but could not get them for that gun.

You know, I have noticed the same thing. I haven't tried to make my less fuzzy, I just re-type whatever I'm doing into my new Printshop. Or I use Notepad or Word. I think I still have 1 that I use, but plan to reprint it as soon as I have the time. Sorry I can't help you on this. Seems like there should be a way, but I even tried different fonts and it didn't change the fuzziness. Charlene

I have a S&W; model 37 air weight in a 38spl. I had the factory wood grips and changed to the Hogue. The recoil of the air weight is pretty noticeable. After shooting it about a dozen times your ready to put it down. The Hogue grips help me hang on a little better. Recoil is still pretty bad, but easier to manage with the new grips. Besides my pistol looks better also. It's worth the $20. I'd buy them again. As far as being longer I don't think it is. I've owned my pistol for about 30 years. I bought some PAC Meyer ( spelling ) grips that we're really big. They were about the size of the gun. A lot easier to handle on the range, but sure looked retarded. Hope this helps.

Yes when it came down to using them I had to drop down a little in weight do to my body activating different muscles I've haven't really used for stability, bench pressing with them are must!! Over all they've worked very well with any type of bars but I've have best success with barbells and dumbbells. The Gripz are made from pretty durable rubber. I won't recommend using during deadlifts. Also when it came to using easy-curl bars it's a awkward grip I'm not to comfortable with. I personally have not used anything else for forearm strengthening. But I can recommend the manta ray for helping out squats and lunges. Hopes this May help out.

They arnt to stiff but not really loose ether. I dont think they are quite as responsive as they could be despite having a fairly decent feel to them. They are far from being bad though and work nicely compaired to many ive tried.

My thoughts: I have a Smith 13-1 (apx 1967 vintage.) I have three (honest THREE) different sets of Pachmayr grips for it, and they are all completely PerfecT. They needed no trimming and the bottom is totally captured (surrounded.) I do not, though, recommend Hogue grips. They are a bit weird, for me, and feel sticky and....... well... just didn't feel right For Me. We are all different. I am 65 years old and have been shooting since I was 10. If you can't get to a store where you can look and feel the grips, Pachmayr is a good bet. (Especially if you can return them... like buy from Midwest. Just thoughts.) Let me know if I can further help. Barry

My answer would be yes, but in all honesty I don't love the grips when they are separated. They are round on one side and flat on the other. Still absolutely worth the price.

Hi. I don't know what model number they were, but they were the Yakgrips that were completely seamed together (without velcro) and not able to be adjusted. Though I have both, I do like these better, as they situate themselves much better without requiring constant readjustments. In doing this, you lose the ability to put them on paddles that do not break down into 2 or more pieces, as their ability to stretch open is the only way you can put them on the paddles. With one of my paddles, I had to have the velcro model in order to be able to put them on in the first place. Some of the new infinite adjustment paddles offer similar problems, as their design places the adjuster/lock at the end of one of the pieces, with their diameter being quite a bit larger than the shaft itself, so there is extra work and effort required to work the grips over the enlarged attachments. I like both a lot, and the comfort factor is a great improvement to long distance/time paddling. The only issue I see is that if you have issues with inconsistent patterns in the way things feel, this might be a problem as the seams stretch the length of the grips and are very noticeable in the feel of your hands. I always need to make sure the seams are in the right position to offer the least obvious inconsistency/bump in the pad. This is true with both the fixed seam models, as well as, the velcro ones, though the velcro ones are even more pronounced.

I bought Pachmayr Grips for my S&W; Model 37, and am very pleased. I do not know your gun, but I believe the best way to know what is available for your gun is to contact Pachmayr directly.

Depends on grip you are replacing, but best way to describe this grip is a 'larger/wider' version of Babolat Skin Feel---It is a firm grip <firmest Gamma grip I have seen> with excellent feel which is positive for me / by far the best Gamma grip in my opinion

They're a little softer, but still not as soft as addi needles. Also, because the joins are now straight, the rigidity is not a problem.

No, these are really substantial feeling. I have also had the others that you described, these have much more quality. I hope it helps:-)

Yes, Jay Pachmayr rubber grips will indeed absorb some of your (felt recoil) as well as improve your grip of the gun. I hope this helped. I have several pair of Pachmayr's on various pistols. I am well satisified with them.

Yes, those grips making shooting much more comfortable. The trigger guard is covered so it doesn't recoil into your hand.Highly recommended.

You might find the length of the bar ends to be a little bit on the short side. Personally I have medium hands and have the small grip. The bar ends seemed small at first, but now I love them as they are just big enough for my needs. These are the most comfortable grips that I have ever used.

A little bit, since they have a dimpled texture. They do seem to make your hands feel cooler though.

These newer ones are a softer more pliable material. I have had no problems with them... I have two..
