I bought some Hogue goncalo grips, with finger grooves, and I'm

not too happy with them.  The box they came in says for round tang 

revolvers, but the hole in the grip is SQUARE.  I called them and told em

about it.  The thing is, the grips FIT.  Even with the square hole.  Will

the small frame grips fit the large frame?  I didnt think they would.  Or,

is this the way Hogue makes the large frame wood grips, with a SQUARE

hole?

I believe all Hogue grips have square holes due to the manufacturing process.

Thanks, Bruce.  I was hoping someone would know.  I didnt figure

that small frame grips would fit a large frame, anyway.

Yep - that's correct.  The large frame grips are made with the square hole but they fit the round tang.  I was fooled by it the first time I saw one also! mad

I think that one surprised a lot of us.

Maybe that's part of why we now buy our grips from LB.
