Checkered Pistol Grips?
Silver Creek Slim:
The problem I found at the Valentine's Day shoot, in 20 degree weather with smooth grips and cold dry hands, the pistol might roll back too much and land on the ground. :o Yes, match DQ. :'(

Yikes! Good reason for checkered grips.

That's what I was thinking. BTW, it was a 7 1/2" 1875 Remington. I have stripped the vanish and am now hand-rubbing with Linseed Oil. I will try this before I checker them.

Some are checkerd some aren't. My Vaqueros have Colt style hard rubber type grips that are checkered. I like them better than smooth grips. My new model Smiths have one of each. One has grips that are worn smooth. I would like to find some replacements.
My Colt clones have smooth grips and I don't like them as well.
I have always shot Duelist and the only problem I ever had was with some Stag grips that got slippery when it was raining. These are the grips I replace with the Colt style on the Vaqueros.

I have used both types of grips, the smooth ones just feel better.
Good shootin......
