Just wanted to post an update on my Security Six. As alot of you know I ended up with a low back model and ran into some trouble finding grips. I finally found the perfect solution, for myself at least.
Thank you again to everyone who helped along the way I couldn't have did it without you.
While I still plan to finish working on the wood stocks I got from RoninPA I finally found a way to get the rubber Pachmayr grips to work with very little modification. I had to do alot of digging but you can get the Pachmayr grips to fit a low back Security Six.
A member on another forum had a low back that came with some "ill fitting" small Presentation Grips. I asked if I could buy them since he hated the grips and he actually gave them to me. They weren't a perfect fit but they did fit and they fit my hand much better than the factory stocks.
While researching Pachmayr grips working on low back models I came across a thread where a couple of guys made the Pachmayr Gripper work.
There is one catch, you have to take a punch and punch out the grip panel dowel on the bottom corner of the frame, the little locator pin at the bottom of this picture.
I wouldn't even call it a modification since it can be put back into the frame if ever needed and there is no damage done. Once you remove that pin the Pachmayr Gripper grips will fit on a low back 150 series Security Six. In fact they're almost a perfect fit! There is a little bit of extra material at the top of the grips but it doesn't bother me at all, otherwise they fit perfect.
I went to the range today to see which grips I liked better. I decided to go with the Gripper grips since they fit my hand better and made shooting much easier. The Presentation grips were good too but not as good as the Grippers. These were the small Presentation grips too, while I dont know forsure im thinking the Large Presentation grips will work just like the Grippers did. Now I just have to restock my supply of 357, im down to 50 rounds
