want to put my pachmayrs on have no idea how to remove the ones on this though it has the washr in one end but the screw heads not on the other side.

If the screw is on the bottom, remove it and pull the grip straight off the bottom. If the screw is in the side, remove and split them sideways.

i cant see the screw, the washer on the right side is there but where the screw head should be on the left its just rubber and no scre on bottom

A picture is worth a thousand words. In otherwords, show me the grips and I can tell you how to get them off....

are you sure these are not the type that slip on and use the wedge device to apply enough spread to install? If so the grip simply need to be pried gently from the frame. These grips will show the backstrap (i.e. the backstrap is not enclosed by rubber).

Here are two tutorials for different grip styles:

Wedge

Bottom Screw

FWIW, my 686p came with the bantam style grips which used the wedge.

Hope this helps

Is there a line indicating that the grip is two halves? If so, and you do not see a screw, can you try to pry them off? It is possible that the screw came out and due to the sticky nature of the rubber and added debris, that the grip is just stuck together.

Otherwise without a screw hole in the bottom I would bet that the grip will need to be spread as in the wedge style. I am sure that you could use just about anything to do the job without damaging the frame or marking it.

glad you figured it out.

Now if you really want to have fun do what I did to your 686...

I read somewhere about someone that took a standard dot XS sight and married it with a Cylinder and Slide Extreme Duty fixed rear sight...rugged combat night sight system for a revolver. Did it to mine and love it! No problems with POA, etc

One thing ill want is a trigger job, the triggers smooth but real stiff. I heard the service action job clark does is real good and i could gt moon clips while im at it.

A few companies make replacement trigger springs,.....vast improvement!

Best trigger job is shooting.It will smooth out over time.As for moon clips,your cylinder has to be cut for them.Do you mean speed loaders?

The Wolff reduced power spring kit will help a lot.
