Some may remember, I bought a Blackhawk 50th Anniversary .44 Mag earlier this summer and added killing a deer with a pistol to my Bucket List...
I found out the importance of good grips on a pistol...The plastic, checkered grips that came with the gun tore up your palms after a few shots...They were also too narrow for good comtrol...
I did some online research and found Private's Custom Grips...I ordered a set of Birds Eye Maple and put them on...The difference was unbelievable in both feel and in my groups...
Here is a before and after on the gun...
My groups Friday with 3 different brands ammo...American Eagle 240gr hollow points and Magtec and Winchester 240gr soft points...The range was 25 yards and I used a 6 o'clock hold...
I've already moved the sights one click to the left and have a box of Hornady, 240gr XTPs that I want to try as well...
beautiful set of grips there. I have a red hawk in the same caliber. Those are a lot of fun to shoot. And I have taken a couple deer with mine and they do a real good job. I also shoot the 240 grain.
