Hogue OverMolded Rubber Tamer Conversion Grip - Transform Your S&W Revolver's Comfort and Control

The Hogue Tamer Conversion Grip revolutionizes revolver shooting by dramatically reducing felt recoil while providing superior grip control and comfort. Designed specifically for Smith & Wesson K, L, N, X, and Z-Frame round butt revolvers, this OverMolded rubber grip features Hogue's proprietary Tamer technology with an integrated Sorbothane recoil-absorbing insert that can reduce perceived recoil by up to 50 percent. Whether you're shooting hot magnum loads at the range or carrying for personal defense, this grip transforms your revolver into a more controllable, comfortable shooting platform.

Key Features

• Tamer Recoil Reduction Technology: Features an internal Sorbothane insert strategically positioned in the palm swell area to absorb and dissipate recoil energy, dramatically reducing felt recoil and shooter fatigue. Perfect for magnum loads in .357, .44 Magnum, .460, and .500 S&W calibers.
• Conversion Design: Transforms round butt frames to a more ergonomic square butt profile, providing increased gripping surface and better recoil control. The conversion stirrup securely attaches to the revolver frame for a rock-solid fit that won't shift during firing.
• OverMolded Rubber Construction: Manufactured from premium thermoplastic elastomer using Hogue's advanced molding process. This material is neither spongy nor tacky, providing a firm yet comfortable grip that ages gracefully for years of reliable service.
• Cobblestone Texture: Features Hogue's signature Cobblestone stippling pattern that provides exceptional grip traction without being abrasive or irritating to bare hands. Maintains positive control in wet, sweaty, or adverse conditions.
• Proportioned Finger Grooves: Three precision-molded finger grooves naturally position your hand for optimal grip alignment and trigger control, promoting consistent shot placement and reducing grip shift during rapid fire.
• Monogrip One-Piece Design: Eliminates grip panel seams and provides complete frame coverage for maximum comfort and protection. The integrated design prevents debris intrusion and provides a seamless shooting experience.
• Easy Installation: Includes all necessary hardware (mounting bracket and screw) for straightforward installation. No gunsmithing required—most installations completed in minutes with basic hand tools.
• Precision Fit: Computer-designed and precisely molded to match the exact contours of Smith & Wesson revolver frames, ensuring a tight, secure fit that engages with frame textures and mounting points.

Why the Tamer Technology Makes a Difference

Hogue's Tamer technology incorporates a Sorbothane recoil-absorbing insert positioned in the palm area where recoil energy is most acutely felt. Sorbothane is a visco-elastic polymer with exceptional energy absorption properties, converting kinetic energy from recoil into heat rather than transmitting it to your hand. Shooters consistently report dramatic reductions in perceived recoil, allowing for longer practice sessions, improved accuracy, and reduced hand fatigue. This is especially beneficial when shooting powerful magnum cartridges like .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .460 S&W, and .500 S&W that can be punishing with standard grips.

Cobblestone Texture Advantages

Hogue's proprietary Cobblestone texture pattern is the result of decades of research and development. Unlike aggressive checkering or sharp stippling that can be uncomfortable during extended shooting sessions, the Cobblestone pattern features rounded texture elements that provide excellent grip traction while remaining comfortable against bare skin. The texture maintains its effectiveness in wet conditions, when wearing gloves, or with sweaty hands, ensuring consistent control in any shooting scenario.

What's Included

• Hogue OverMolded Rubber Tamer Conversion Grip (Model 19022)
• Metal mounting bracket/stirrup
• Mounting screw
• Installation instructions

Installation Guide

Installing your Hogue Tamer grip is straightforward. First, remove your existing grip panels by unscrewing the grip screw located at the bottom of the grip frame. Clean the grip frame to remove any debris or old lubricant. Position the included metal bracket over the grip frame, aligning it with the mounting holes. Slide the rubber Monogrip over the frame and bracket, ensuring it seats fully against the frame. Insert the provided mounting screw through the bottom of the grip and tighten securely. The entire process typically takes 5-10 minutes and requires only a screwdriver.

Ideal For

This grip is perfect for revolver enthusiasts who shoot magnum calibers regularly, hunters who need maximum recoil control for follow-up shots, law enforcement officers carrying S&W revolvers on duty, concealed carry permit holders seeking improved comfort and control, competitive revolver shooters in PPC or ICORE matches, and anyone looking to transform their Smith & Wesson revolver into a more comfortable shooting platform. The Tamer technology makes hot magnum loads manageable for extended range sessions, while the ergonomic design enhances accuracy and control for all shooters regardless of hand size.

Performance Benefits

Shooters who install Hogue Tamer grips consistently report multiple performance improvements including reduced muzzle flip for faster follow-up shots, decreased hand and wrist fatigue during extended shooting sessions, improved trigger control through better hand positioning, enhanced accuracy from consistent grip placement, and the confidence to practice more frequently with full-power defensive loads. The conversion design also fills the grip frame more completely, making it easier for shooters with larger hands to achieve a proper firing grip.

Durability and Maintenance

Hogue's thermoplastic elastomer material is engineered for long-term durability and resistance to oils, solvents, and temperature extremes. Unlike natural rubber that can become brittle or degrade over time, this synthetic rubber maintains its properties for years of service. The material is resistant to gun cleaning solvents, lubricants, and environmental exposure. Maintenance is simple—just wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt or residue. The grip will not crack, peel, or deteriorate under normal use.

Frame Size Guide

Smith & Wesson revolvers are categorized by frame size, which determines both the physical dimensions and the power level of cartridges they can handle. K-Frame revolvers are medium-sized, commonly chambered in .38 Special and .357 Magnum. L-Frame revolvers are slightly larger than K-Frames, designed to handle full-power magnum loads with less felt recoil. N-Frame revolvers are large-frame guns chambered for powerful cartridges like .44 Magnum and .45 Colt. X-Frame and Z-Frame revolvers are extra-large frames designed for the most powerful handgun cartridges like .460 S&W and .500 S&W Magnum. This Hogue Tamer grip accommodates all these frame sizes, but only round butt variants.

Round Butt vs. Square Butt Explained

Smith & Wesson revolvers with round butt frames feature a curved bottom grip profile that was originally designed for easier concealment. Square butt frames have a more angular, squared-off bottom that provides additional gripping surface. This Hogue Tamer Conversion Grip is designed for round butt frames and converts them to a square butt profile, giving you the concealment benefits of a round butt revolver with the enhanced control of a square butt grip. This conversion is particularly popular among shooters who want maximum comfort and recoil control without modifying their firearm.
