Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip — Ruger® GP100 | Diamond Checkering | Black Rubber with Finger Grooves | 02484 | UPC: 034337024842
Make your Ruger GP100 easier to control, more comfortable to shoot, and faster to run with the Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip (02484). Crafted from recoil-absorbing black rubber, this premium replacement grip features ergonomic finger grooves and diamond-pattern checkering that lock your hand in place—wet, dry, or gloved. The hand-filling profile spreads recoil, tames muzzle rise, and promotes a straighter trigger press so your powerful .357 Magnum revolver shoots flatter with less fatigue.
Why Upgrade to the Diamond Pro on a GP100?
The GP100 is a tank—built for heavy use and hot loads. But factory grips don’t fit every hand or every shooting scenario. The Diamond Pro adds secure traction, subtle palm swell, and a tacky compound that enhances control under recoil, especially during rapid double-action strings. Expect quicker follow-ups, cleaner sight tracking, and consistent grip indexing from draw to last round.
