Help! Taurus 44 Magnum question.

[DDH .45]

Can anyone help me figure out where to find custom grips for my Revolver? (photos below) VZ grips was not very helpful, their K/L-Frame grips werent even close. TIA for any help...

[P5Ret]

VZ makes grips for Taurus revolvers, both large frame and small frame. Without knowing the model it's difficult to say for certain what will fit.

Here's another company to look at: Hogue

See if Altamont has any of their Taurus offering in stock...

Just a quick observation...

S&W has two types of frames, square and round. Most new revolvers are "round" and if you just get generic "K/L grips" it's almost certain you'll get a version for the round butt. The gun in your photo has a square butt, so if you're trying S&W grips make sure you get them for the square butt.

I don't know much about Taurus revolvers so chances are you've tried the square butt grips already, but just in case you're not aware of how S&W revolvers roll...

I found some very nice wood grips from Malaysia on ebay. Yeah, I know, but they fit and look great

You mentioned K- & L-frame in your post. While there are indeed L-frame S&W's in .44 Mag, those are 5-round revolvers. The big boys like the Model 29 are built on the N-frame. I'm pretty sure that's where you need to begin your search, assuming Taurus is comparable to S&W (which they could be, since the two companies shared the same lineage for a while). Just don't blindly buy grips designed for an S&W and expect them to fit your Taurus. As P5Ret said, the model number would have gone a long way in helping.

There are no K-frame .44 Mags... at least none listed on the S&W website. I would be surprised indeed if there ever were.

S&W grips are not compatible with Taurus. I have an older Taurus 441 square butt .44special that the only grips that work are Hogue and if you can find them, older Pachmayrs which is what it currently has.
You can search for more, but if it doesn't show your model number, they most likely won't fit.

The L frame 44s (69) take whatever the X frames take, it's a popular swap because of the enclosed backstrap.

Thanks all, appreciate the input. Waiting for Taurus to get back to me with a definitive model number of some sort.

Yeah it’s a tough match to find Taurus grips outside of the 85/605 small revolvers. I have a model 65 which is a ‘K’ frame equivalent, and I’d love some grips, but can’t seem to find a definitive match for them.

I would recommend the Hogue Pau Fero grips on your revolver, OP..



I have a set of Hogue Pau Fero wood grips on my blued Ruger GP100 and they work great.

Good fit, well made, and the palm swell feels great on the grip-to-hand interface, especially when shooting Magnum rounds..

I'd look for 70s wood 'grips' for a Smith & Weasal M-29. Then have the seller throw in the rest of the revolver to close the deal.

And that's how you solve Taurs problems.
