Description
VZ Grips has been making premium firearm grips for over two decades, and their N-Frame Tactical Diamond line represents one of the most aggressive texture options available for Smith & Wesson revolvers. These grips are machined from proprietary G-10 material right here in Tallahassee, Florida, with a level of precision and attention to detail that shows in every set.
What Makes Tactical Diamond Grips Different
The Tactical Diamond pattern strikes a balance that appeals to serious shooters who want maximum purchase without unnecessary harshness. Unlike traditional double diamond grips, the pattern focuses on the grip surfaces themselves, keeping the screw hole areas cleaner. The diamonds are cut sharp enough to deliver what users consistently describe as very grippy performance, but they don't gouge skin or aggressively snag fabric the way some other aggressive patterns do. This texture performs especially well in wet conditions or when you're working hard at the range.
Black Cherry Color and Square Butt Design
The black cherry color is a rich, distinctive shade that sits somewhere between burgundy and dark brown. It's attractive enough to look good on your revolver, but dark enough to suit tactical or working purposes. The square butt profile is designed to match S&W N-Frame square bottom models, fitting right into the frame's grip tang without gaps or movement. These grips come with a T-15 screw for installation.
Built to Last
G-10 is a laminated fiberglass composite that doesn't soak up oil, solvents, or sweat the way wood does. This means these grips will maintain their appearance and function through years of regular shooting, cleaning, and storage. The material is also tougher against impact and handling than you'd get from rubber or wood alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these N-Frame Tactical Diamond grips work with my S&W revolver?
These grips fit S&W N-Frame square butt revolvers only. Models include the 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 325, 327, 329, 57, 58, 520, 610, 624, 625, 627, 629, 657, and other N-Frame square bottom variants. If you have a round bottom frame, you'll need the round butt version instead.
Is the Tactical Diamond texture aggressive enough to be uncomfortable?
The Tactical Diamonds deliver sharp texture and excellent traction without being overly harsh. Users note they don't snag fabric aggressively when carried, though the diamond points are definitely more pronounced than smoother grips. The texture works especially well for tactical and competition use, and many find it comfortable for range shooting without gloves.
What's the advantage of G-10 material compared to rubber or wood grips?
G-10 resists oils, solvents, and sweat far better than wood, so these grips won't degrade from range solvents or storage conditions. They're also more durable against impact and handling wear. Unlike rubber, G-10 won't become sticky or degrade in extreme temperatures, making them reliable across different shooting environments.
Do VZ make other texture options for the N-Frame?
Yes, VZ Grips offers several texture patterns for N-Frame square butt models. The VZ 320 is their smoothest option for everyday carry, while the Tactical Diamonds are their most aggressive. The choice depends on whether you prioritize maximum traction or comfort over extended shooting sessions.
