Pachmayr Compac Grips for Colt Agent, Cobra, Detective Special, Diamondback (Post 1971) - Black Rubber
Pachmayr Compac Grips deliver a confident, non-slip grip for your Colt Agent, Cobra, Detective Special, or Diamondback revolver (post-1971 models) without sacrificing the low profile these classics are known for. Built from specially formulated black rubber, these grips are engineered to give you control and purchase when it matters most—whether you're carrying for personal defense, duty, or recreational shooting. The compact design maintains the gun's concealability, making them a natural choice for plainclothes carry or IWB holster work.
What sets Compac Grips apart is their ability to solve the real problem small-frame revolver shooters face: balancing a secure hold with a package that stays discreet. The rubber compound provides positive feedback and stops slippage during recoil, critical on snappy .38 Special loads. If you've carried a Colt Agent or Detective Special, you know the stock grips can feel slick under stress or in less-than-ideal conditions. These upgrades that without changing the gun's footprint or deep-carry profile.
Installation is straightforward—these grips use standard Colt fasteners and drop right on to your revolver. Maintenance is minimal; the rubber wipes clean and resists moisture. Whether you're an off-duty officer, a concealed carrier, or a shooter who values control on a classic snub-nose, Pachmayr Compac Grips are a practical, proven upgrade.
