Of course there are no one grip fits all.
I got my duplicator set up to inlet the panels for the LCR and LCRX grip tang frames. So now I can make up some blocks to play with grip designs.
So here is your chance to input some ideas for grip design.
So here are some questions.
1. Is pocket carry a criterial, which then means a shorter grip.
2. Is a full three finger grip desireable?
3. Finger grooves which limits fit, or no finger grooves?
4. Narrow grip at the bottom for more conceability?
5. Is a traditional looking grip necessary to you, or are you open to the most far out concept if it works?
6. Thick or thin grip?
7. Necessity for easy speedloader loading, including jet loaders?
Lately, I've been working on some birdshead type designs. This one is my latest with a two finger hold so it fits into my jeans pocket, and the birdshead for recoil control, and a very very high hand hold with the grip extending way up the backstrap so my web is almost level with the bore axis. Made out of Cherry wood with a leather stain. The bottom has a bulbous swell so locks my hand in, and the design of the grip is old world kinda inspired by "steampunk" motif.
My own main criterials for this LCR are pocket carry and access for my SL Variant speed loader, but I have some designs worked out for OWB carry as well.
But some of my future designs might be influenced by some of your suggestions, like boot grip designs, combat grip, farrant grip, etc.
I'll be designing some for both the LCR and the LCRX 3" models.
Looking forward to hearing some suggestions!
