Gp100 compact grips

[MidRoad]

Anybody have a set of the gp100 compact Lett style grip? I have the normal Lett style on my gp100 and a set of the factory ones on my sp101 (see avatar pic). My question is how does the size compare ? Are the compacts the same size as the sp101? Or are they an in between size? I read they take the sp101 grip panels.Thanks!

Here's how my hand fits on the two I have,I was thinking about ordering a set of compacts. I think my pinky would hang off the bottom like it does on the sp101.its pretty close with the standard size.

The compacts are an in-between size. I've not had any for several years so I can't help with a photo or measurements unfortunately. Good luck.

Pretty big difference. Do you like them? They seem like a perfect fit for that 4". Very nice!

That is a 5" Special Edition, but I changed the grips. I moved the compacts to my 3" 41 Special GP for awhile but then found a good solution with a wooden set. The large Altamonts are now on my Match Champion. The compacts are a good option if trying to conceal a GP100. While the SP101 grips have inserts, they are very different and generally quite inadequate for powerful ammo.

How do they compare width wise? Although my sp101s are shorter I feel like it's almost a stronger grip for me because I can really wrap my fingers around them . I have short fat fingers ,and wide-ish but short palms so I can squeeze a narrow grip better. I have a hogue no finger groove grip too. Its narrow,but has a hump But I switched back to Lett style because when drawing the barrel tends to dive with the hogue and comes up nice and level the the Lett style.

Well ordered a set on eBay. Merry Christmas to me!will see how they work out. Grips and holsters.....spend more on them than the gun itself!

I put these on my GP100 4" earlier this year. I finally shot it last week. It does well with 38 specials, but transmits the .357 recoil a whole lot more than the original grips. I am probably going back to the bigger grips especially since I do not carry this revolver.

Compact grips and black locust wood panels on my 3" GP100. The gun was purchased with a very nice set of Altamont grips but these fit my hand and the size of the gun better, though I no longer have any delusions about carrying it.

Congratulations!

They feel really good on the shorter 3" and 4" half lug GPs. I like the full sized for the longer/heavier barrels.

I found that my Match Champion looks better with the full size but can only be considered as a carry gun with the compacts.

The Match Champ has some wonderfully comfortable grips. I could never sign on the the strange contoured cylinder (what's the point?) and the odd slab sided barrel, but from what I hear they are fantastic competition revolvers.
