Hey guys would a large frame grip fit the small frame? The grip on my 15-2 is a little short for my paw, would love to have another 1'. ( thats what she said )

Or are there grips that would be a little biger?

Nope, small frame guns have a square tang, large frame guns have a round one. Post a pic of your current grip, some of us could probably help out with a larger one.

Two choices:   There are bigger DW Small Frame Walnut Grips out there, but most common Large grip for small frame is the Pachmayr Presentation....(which come in a Small and Large sizes) for Small Frames

OR

Hogue Big Butts.......   "...I Like Butts and I cannot Lie....."

Custom orders have been running abt 5 weeks +/-

Add a week to have you DW Medallion installed....cost extra.

The frame of the LG frame Dan is thicker so a large frame grip would be a misfit. I have seen Grippers square hole drilled to accept a round tang but it is harder to make a round hole fit a square tang.. Some older target grips have wider bases that force your hand higher might work. Also, the original target grip called a. Michigan grip may work. Maybe someone can post a picture.

I found the Hoague Monogrip was perfect for my need for a bigger grip. See if you can find one!

Here is my Pistola. Now I have to see what I can find, but I just hate to order some then find I don't like them as much as the pictures. Dan-Wesson-15-2HV.jpgImage Enlarger

That is what I would like. Be nicer to have the bottom just below my pinky finger.

HKS #10 or #10A, depends if you like "wobble" or not.

http://www.hksspeedloaders.com/SpeedloaderPage.html

They work particularly well IMO with the DW because of the front latching.

You pull the latch down with the left thumb, pop the cylinder into your left hand with the fingers, grab the speed-loader with the right. Insert & turn the release. Tye cylinder won't turn because you're holding it. Then drop the empty loader & grab the grip with the right & roll the cylinder in with the left thumb.

Its faster to do than describe!big-grin
