Grip sleeve question
« on: October 22, 2016, 09:44:21 PM »
I am wanting to get a grip sleeve for my 83, Houge or Pachmyr. I'd prefer one without the finger grooves and it looks like the Pachmayr #1 would fit. Anyone know for sure?

I see there have been no replies so I will mention this.  I had an extra 'snappy' CZ83 because it needed a new recoil spring.  I cut a rubber 'sleeve' from an old bicycle inner tube and stretched it over the grips.  I ended up with a fully functional fingerless grip sleeve that served me well enough that I never did get around to replacing the recoil spring.  It felt good, and since I was shooting steel cased .380s I did not worry about the spent shells flying into the next county.

I think the Pachmayr like in the picture  would work for you if you could figure out the grip size from a similar sized grip. I have seen side by side pictures with a S&W M&P9C and it looked pretty close.

Maybe a Glock 19 size?

Thanks All. I'm going to try the Pachamayer #1 (full size). I'll report back as to how it fits.

I like this idea! Never felt the need for one but just based on this post I may try it just to see if there is any benefit.
