Looking for Larger Grips for My Kimber K6s – Any Recommendations?

General
1

Introduction

I’ve been exploring options to improve the grip on my Kimber K6s, and it’s become clear that finding the right larger grips can really enhance comfort and handling. Having bigger hands, I’ve noticed that the stock grips can feel a bit cramped, especially during extended sessions at the range. So, I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experience with larger grips for the K6s.

Why Larger Grips?

Upgrading to larger grips can make a significant difference in managing recoil, providing a more stable hold. Here are some considerations I have:

  • Comfort: A larger grip can alleviate pressure points and help distribute weight more evenly.
  • Control: Better grip means improved handling, especially when shooting rapidly or in varied positions.
  • Aesthetics: Let’s be honest; some grips simply look better!

What I’m Looking For

I’m interested in a few specifics:

  • Material: What materials have you found to be the most comfortable? Rubber, polymer, wood?
  • Brand Options: Are there any brands that stand out for K6s grips?
  • User Experiences: I’m particularly interested in any reviews or personal experiences you all have had with various grips.

Conclusion

If you’ve done any customizing or have suggestions for larger grips that enhance the shootability of the Kimber K6s, I’d love to hear about it! Whether it’s a simple swap or a drastic change, any insight would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your feedback!

Happy shooting!

I tried rubber grips on my K6s, and they really improve the comfort level. The shock absorption is fantastic for managing recoil.

3

I agree! Rubber grips are great, but I’ve found that wood grips can add a nice aesthetic to the K6s while remaining comfortable.

4

I prefer polymer grips; they offer a good mix between durability and grip. They also reduce the weight a bit!

5

Totally! Polymer is lightweight, but do you think it handles recoil as well as rubber?

6

I believe both rubber and polymer have their perks, but wood grips are classic for a reason. They feel more solid in hand.

7

Exactly! I love the look of wood grips, though they can be less forgiving on recoil. Have you noticed any specific brand that stands out?

I’ve used the Hogue rubber grips on my K6s and they drastically reduced felt recoil while feeling great. Highly recommend it!

I’ve had mine for over a year, and they still feel great. Plus, they don’t get slick when wet, which is a bonus!

11

That’s good to know! My only worry with rubber grips is them wearing out faster. But now I’m tempted to try the Hogue.

12

You might want to consider getting a grip with interchangeable panels. That way, you can mix materials depending on your needs!

13

That sounds like a fun idea! I wonder if they really provide a noticeable difference in handling.

14

In real-world use, I found that different materials genuinely feel different, especially in a compact revolver like the K6s. It’s all about personal preference!

15

True! But don’t forget the classic dad joke: Why did the grip break up with the gun? Because it couldn’t handle the recoil! :joy:

I’ve been looking into larger grips for my K6s too! I’ve heard that rubber grips can really enhance the ergonomic feel, especially during extended shooting sessions.

17

I totally agree! Larger grips can significantly improve comfort and reduce hand fatigue. Plus, they can help with recoil management!

18

Have you guys tried the Hogue grips? They’re well-known for their ergonomic designs. I’ve listened to a few shooters swear by them for improving accuracy!

19

Yes! I found the Hogue grips to be excellent. The added texture really helps with control, especially in fast-paced shooting.

I recently switched to larger grips and noticed an immediate improvement in my accuracy. Stability feels more consistent, especially during rapid fire!
