What grips do you prefer on a square butt Redhawk? Mine (a 4" .45 Colt) came with the Hogue Bantams which put my hand at an uncomfortable angle.... so I switched to a set of Eagle rosewood grips that match the original Redhawk wood grips... They were alright, but they tried to roll up in my hand a little, somewhat like a single action plowhandle, which made double action follow up shots inconvenient. Right now I've got a set of Pachmayr Gripper Decelerators on it and thus far they feel and shoot fine and I could live with these but I wish they didn't feel "sticky" in the hand. The regular Pachmayr Grippers for a Redhawk seem to be out of production.

Rub talcum powder on neoprene or rubber grips. Also, on certain bicycle grips.

I too have a 4" 45 Colt Redhawk which came with the Bantam grips. But they suited me so well I also put a set on my 357 Redhawk, which I had tried several different styles but was not happy with any of them.

Have had three Redhawks and the only grip that fits my hand well is the no longer made Uncle Mike's...

When it comes to grips,, I tell everyone; "Find what fits YOUR hands." Everybody's hands are different. What works for me,, may not work for you.

I have 3 Redhawks, all wearing the Uncle Mikes grips. Finally found the last one on e-bay.

I tried the original wood, Hogue Bantam, 2 different sets of Pachamayr Presentation's and the Uncle Mikes. I settled on the Pachmayr Presentation's in Camo. If I ever find a Tyler T Grip for the Redhawk I would try the wood again.  |

On S&W N Frames I like the Hogue Monogrip. I tried three aftermarket grips on my Redhawk, Hogue & Pachmayr and eventually ended up with the factory Ruger grips, they fit best.

"preferred grips for a square butt Redhawk?"
one of the wonderful things about revolvers v autos is that grip/grip shapes are almost infinite in choice..
my original grips were waaay to small for my hand - "back in the day" the pach presentations grips were almost "goldilocks" and i have had the same (although showing a bit of age) since just after i bought the gun over 30 years back..
those grips are still "findable" online.
there are several handmade grips that can be had, a quick look at herretts, badger or altamont would be good starts..
