Getting my Crockett on.

I’ll just leave this pic of my latest addition here. Hope that’s alright with y’all.

Sweet.

I started this thread and I've greatly enjoyed the replies. However, all this talk about the 80's like they're ancient history makes me feel old. I think, "It wasn't that long ago." Then, I walk by a mirror.................

Here’s one for a younger generation, and some 4506 goodness.

You can stipple the plastic S&W grips.

Today, I threw in the towel and ordered a set of rubber Hogues. I must be getting less stubborn because it only took me 500 rounds to give up. I just can't overcome the narrow grip and the checkering on the factory grips must be there for visual appeal, because it's worthless for grip adhesion. Oh well, we'll go for performance over style points.

I know they're not pretty...but I really like the Hogue's that came as OEM on my 686+ and 642-1. They simply work...and to me that's a beautiful thing.

Let us know how they work out for you.

Doesn't Hogue make (or used to make) wooden stocks for the 4506?

The Hogue woods have a slight palm swell. I’m late to the party...I have a collection of S&W 3rd Gen pistols, including a 4506. I love them all.

The grip panels will warp if you stipple them off of the gun. So go slow and be careful if you go that route.

S&W use to make a better grip for the FBI for their 1076 that also fit the 4506, but sadly they don't make them anymore.

They still do, but add some checkering and you're looking at +$100, more than I'd like to spend.
