Have the Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves and really like them. However, they are much too small for me and I'd like some real world suggestions for rubber grips that are larger in circumference. If not rubber grips then I'd be willing to look into wood as a second choice. I use the large backstrap on the Gen 4 Glocks and the gun will be for idpa.

Is your 686 a round butt? If so, Hogue makes grips that cover the blackstrap. They are used on the X-frame guns and only available on S&W's website.

Yes sit, round butt. Thank you for the suggestion, any idea how much bigger they are? I'll do some research as well, I just expect you to know all when it comes to revolvers!

I have one for my 629 .44, I could measure the circumference if you'd like.

 

Edit:

 

5" @ the upper finger grip, about 5 1/4" @ the lower two.

They may not be that much larger in girth, but what they do is increase the LOP - blackstrap to trigger face. They are about $37 + SHI and are available in orange, yellow or black.
