A lot of folks look down on Taurus Guns. But, just like Uberti, I've had stellar luck with them.
Unfortunately, not a lot of aftermarket accessories are available for them. This includes grips.
The last few years, I've been ordering from an Ebay Seller in Thailand. Quality has been superb.
Just upgraded my 941 22 Magnum and 441 44 Special. More after Tim posts pictures...

Thanks Tim...
These guns are nothing spectacular. Unless your definition of spectacular is inexpensive and excellent quality.
The 22 Mag is quite small and easy to carry. Holds 8 Rds and averages around 1.5" @ 25 yards.
The 44 Special is a different story. A Pawn Shop item that defies all the odds.
Took some cleaning up, but the most accurate Double Action in my collection.
So fun to break this one out when guys are shooting their Customs and Freedom Arms. I've got some that will match it, but no revolver in my collection will outshoot this gun.
Got to thinking they deserved a little upgrade. So, ordered some "inexpensive" grips from Thailand and today was the day they got installed.
I thought they came out pretty dang nice. I'm not at all ashamed to carry a Taurus...

Nothing wrong with that 22 at ALL, but that 44 is a real doll. Beautiful little 44!
Nice grips. I got a pair for a SP101 several years back and the guy does a nice job - for the price you pay for rubber grips.
Nice to see he supports Taurus users. Hard to find what you want for them.

I had nearly bought some for an SP101 but had read mixed reviews. Glad these are high quality.

I've ordered quite a number of sets for Ruger, S&W and Taurus. All have been exceptionally good grips...

Very nice guns and grips...
I also have had no more issues with the Taurus guns I have bought than any other manufacturer. Had to send one Titanium Tracker back twice for cylinder binding but since the second trip to the factory no issues at all.
As to the grips, tried the Hogue replacement grips but the original spongy grippers just worked much better absorbing recoil.

One of the most accurate revolvers I have ever seen is my 441T. Actually the part number for the gun is T441T. I had the gun scoped for years and killed tons of deer with it. At 100 yards from sandbags it consistently put 5 shots in 1.5" or better. That was with the CPB 255gr WFN propelled by U-Clays. You will never hear me hate on the Bangor-Punta guns. Nice grips.

I had a Taurus 66 that was considerably more accurate than my Smith. Gave it to my Son. It sure was a shooter.

Had a S&W 357PD 4" .41 Magnum at the same time as the 4" Titanium Tracker .41...
1) S&W had 6 shots vs. the Tacker with 5
2) Both had on-board key locks
3) Both had decent DA pulls
4) Weight was about the same
5) Although larger there was more felt recoil with the S&W even after the X500 grips were installed using the same ammo
6) Using the same 950 fps load, the Tracker was noticeably more accurate than the 357PD
The 357PD and 357NG both went down the road. Still have the 4" Ti as well as a 6" Ti and a 4" stainless...
Probably the best .41 Specials ever not made....
