SW J frame grips on a small or Taurus???

[CULLENIII]

I was wondering--do SW J frame grips fit on a small frame 5 shot Rossi 33 or Taurus 85?

Yes they do...but you have to drill a new "pin hole" on the inside of the grips. Its not hard to do if you have a slight bit of patience and a drill
Heres a pic of Taurus grips I made for my J frame...had to do the same thing in reverse.....
Shoot well

www.getgrip.com is the web site for Hogue Grips. Hogue covers Taurus small and medium revolvers nicely.

Just drift the pin out of the grip frame.

This will allow you to fit either maker's grip on either's gun.

Hey Eric: That's clever

I think Taurus makes just about the niftiest standard-issue soft rubber grips imagineable for snubs. What I did was get the Taurus aftermarket rosewood boot grips for my M85; then I put the shorter M85 grips on my Mod 605. Voila......The 605 is now a really compact little pocket cannon and the M85 grips absorb the power beautifully. The recoil comes to the heel of my hand with the shorter grip and I have no loss of control.

Thanks all---I have one of those Pachymayr Tac Grips and want to put a Taurus in it. It is made for a SW J frame.

The only real differance between a Smith J frame and a Taurus 85 is the price, and I'm told Rossi is now made by Taurus. I've inter changed grips on all of them
