629 or super redhawk grips with a lanyard loop?

[alcmaeon]

Hey folks, I'm outfitting a new fishing gun and wanted to use a lanyard with it (flap holster is second choice). Anyone know of a grip set for the current production 629 Classic or Super Redhawk that has a lanyard loop in them?

I have been looking but so far nothing.

Thanks!

The lanyard is generaly attached to the handgun not the stocks/grips. A hole is drilled and tapped in the grip frame and a lanyard loop is screwed in.

For the Super Redhawk you can use Hogue grips and replace the bottom screw with a threaded landyard ring. I remember seing that for sale somewhere, maybe Bowen?

Hey, FYI for the archives, I emailed S&W and asked them about lanyards and they sent me, free of charge and on their own suggestion, a stainless steel lanyard loop screw that replaced the bottom screw in the Hogue grips that my 5" classic came with. Worked great, nice customer service.

Thanks Alcmaeon,
I have the same model - 5" 629 Classic, with the Hogue rubber grips. I've wanted a lanyard ring but didn't want to go to the trouble of having the grip frame drilled and tapped. I'll get in touch with Smith and Wesson right away.
