Being a grip maker I've been contacted four or five times to make BFR grips for someone. The callers have invariably heard the same thing most of us have.
Super Blackhawk grips will fit a BFR. I don't make grips on "kind of" or Sort of" fit info. We've all heard that rumor. Well, I can now definitely say it's a rumor. I finally got a customer that was willing to send me his BFR grip frame.
You can see the two frames in the first picture. The BFR on the left looks a little beefier than the SBH frame but it's an illusion. The BFR on the left weighs 8.9 oz. and the SBH weighs 9.5 oz.
As for the fit, you can see a stock SBH grip on the BFR frame. The grip is on the pin and the top and back strap fit as well as you'd expect a stock grip to fit. All the difference is clearly visible on the front strap and where it meets the cylinder frame.
So, if you believe the rumors and order a set of SBH grips for your BFR, this is how you can expect them to fit. Mystery finally solved, well at least for me anyway.
