MY 454

Konrad · Apr 8, 2020

I bought a 454 tarus casull
Hate the rubber handle/i took the handle off to check the stucture of the gun/ if someone has a cnc machine
The can pump out some nice handles made out of Elk antler/white plastic(pearl)/black (mother of pearl) any of those would dress the gun up to Pluto or Mars. :0)

I'm not sure what model you have, but you might try Altamont. They put out very nice aftermarket grips and their return policy is quite good. Cheers.

Welcome to NWFA, by the way.

Have you had a chance to shoot your Taurus yet?
If not, I would suggest trying it out with the rubber grips on first. 454 Casull is no joke. I recently picked up a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull, and after putting about 100 rounds through it, there is no way I'm taking the stock rubber grips off. The recoil is very stout in 454 Casull.

I take it you haven't shot a 454 with pretty grips made from exotic materials. One shot and you'll appreciate the ugly rubber grips. Pretty grips aren't practical on 454s, 500s, etc. That's why they don't come with them. In fact, most folks can't handle the recoil with the rubber grips and sell it for some less punishing.

I fully agree. I have two revolvers in .454 casull, and theyre a beast. The 240 grain Hornady will sting pretty good after 6rds on rubber, can't imagine 300 grain +p with anything harder.

I understand the need to personalize your gun. Without a doubt this caliber is pretty serious. The stock grip is designed to absorb some of the volatility. I put about 10 rounds down range and I'm pretty much done with this handgun. I do love those 10 Rounds. This is a really fun gun

I prefer the 455 Buick

I dont even like "pretty" grips on a heavy .44 mag revolver. Not if I'm gonna be shooting full power loads in it. Make my grips rubber. And ones that fully cover and cushion the backstrap.
