Recommendations for S&W 686 wood grips?

[Doug Add]

I know about Hogue and about S&W. What others would your recommend?

I like the Hogue rubber grip that came on the gun, but would also like something with a bit fuller feel in the hand. Thanks.

Take a look at...............

http://www.eaglegrips.com/heritage.htm .........they offer an excellent reproduction of the old "coke bottle" grips/stocks that S&W offered in the 50's - I have a set on my Model 25 .45 Colt Mountain Gun.

Thank you both for pointing me to those possibilities.

I took an old pair of Target grips and filed and sanded them to fit me

Craig Spegel boot grips. Great shape, beautiful wood. Novak's had them in stock just a little while ago......

These look nice, they appear to be the Roper pattern that Skeeter Skelton prefered.

For S&W's I like these Heritage Series from Eagle Grip.

Hogue wood revolver grips are noticeably bigger than the Hogue synthetic grips which share very similar general contours.
I do not like the Hogue synthetic grips for any revolver that has any recoil to speak of because I find them just too narrow across the backstrap.
The Hogue wooden grips for the 686 are a whole different critter.

Jerry Miculek offers some smooth grips. He says if you need a rough surface then you are not holding the revolver correctly. That's just his opinion, but he's pretty darned good with his guns.

Another option...

Altamont Grips. Not quite as oversized as Hogues, but they do a nice job. These are Altamonts on my 696:
