I'm looking for some new grips for my newly acquired DW 357
(I've cleaned the gun since Pic. looks better now)
The grip that are on it are hard plastic...slightly broken ..still functional ..
I was looking for some Pachmayr Gripper Grips...but seems they are very popular ....
So now I'm looking at some Hogue small Nylon grips Md: 57100
Have you guys and ladies ,had any luck with theses grips ???

Welcome to the forum from PA. I had a pair of the nylon Hogue, they did not fit very well onto the tang on my revolver and the nylon was hard and unforgiving. I threw them away. The Hogue 57000 rubber grips are very popular and the rubber is more pliable when putting them on.
The old Pachmayr grippers are great but they do not make them anymore so they bring a good sum on Ebay as you can tell.

I have a set of the Hogue grips. I'm not sure if they are the 57000 or 57100, I can't find a number on them but probably the latter. They came on a Norwich 2" on which I now have gripper grips. I also have a set of the Pachmayr Presentation grips for a small frame. Those came on a 15-2 on which I have gripper grips now.
The Hogue grips are pretty hard but then so, I assume would be wood grips.
If you want the either set of grips, I'll send them to you for the cost of shipping only.

Thanks for the welcome ,and the grip offer....and I will take you up on that...
I lucked up on the DW pictured above..was in a LGS to pick up another revolver ..when I spied this DW on a shelf that was over flowing with different handguns ..all bottom shelf guns...
well after a little bargaining its mine...the gun was DIRTY and had a couple of small rust spots ..not bad but was there..and the grips are hard plastic..and they are broken on top...they are still useable...
I don't think the gun has been fired much at all hardly any...cleaned up nice ..nice bright bluing...

Just a general piece of advice on Hogue grips, which mostly applies to the wood grips, but sometimes the rubber ones too:
Be careful to not overtighten the grip screw and create issues with DA/SA function
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
