with a 45-70 being a handful as a rifle the pistol is even more of one! factory grips are less than desired as it's weird the way the top 2 wrap when holding the pistol. looking for solutions i found badger custom grips. with options to choose from i called them to get a better understanding of how i needed to place the order. well, here's the finished product.20260914_200853.jpg20260914_201724.jpg20260914_202353.jpg
 
With the recoil it gives the grip is to skinny at the top for my hands as I'd say are maybe medium? From recoil the trigger guard would bite me. Shouldn't be an issue anymore.
 
My mom said that her dad let her shoot his .45 Colt revolver once when she was a kid, but did not give her fair warning of the recoil. It knocked her onto her but when she shot it. At only 117 lbs. I think that is exactly what that 45-70 would do to me no matter how prepared I tried to be! That is a monster!
