Pros & Cons
What We Like...
- The Rogue 6-Shooter Olympic Grip Plates are the best value iron plates Rogue Fitness currently makes.
- These feature an aesthetic design (to most) that harkens back to the the Ivanko Revolvers, but with six holes, instead of seven.
- The holes, although allow for a unique look, also allow the plates to be handled easier.
- The 6-Shooters are highly accurate for a cast iron plate at a guaranteed weight of +/-
- 1% of the stated weight.
- Despite having a more unique design, these plates are actually cheaper than the Rogue Machined Olympic Plates.
- Utilizing a gray hammertone paint will allow the plates to look good for decades despite getting chipped.
What Needs Improvement...
- Only available in LB, not KG as of this writing.
- One reviewer noted that their only negative was that the coating on the inside of the holes on the plates rub off on the ribbing of the barbell.
Product Summary
Our Rogue 6-Shooter Grip Plates feature a unique gray hammertone finish, black text, and six symmetrical grip holes spaced out around the circumference of each 25LB, 35LB, and 45LB plate (a Urethane Coated 6-Shooter is also available). The holes are precision-cut and in close proximity to the raised lip at the edge of each plate, offering athletes a comfortable grip and an easier way to lift, carry, or load a plate from any angle.
Each 6-Shooter Olympic Grip Plate includes LB markings, exclusive Rogue branding, and a 2” diameter collar opening for compatibility on any standard Oly barbell. The smaller 6-Shooter change plates (2.5LB, 5LB, and 10LB) include a center hole only, without the additional six-hole pattern.
6-Shooters are built for everyday, high-traffic use. Please note, however, that these are cast-iron, NOT bumper plates, and should not be dropped on the floor like a bumper.

Summary
The Rogue 6-Shooter Olympic Grip Plates are the best value cast iron plates that Rogue Fitness makes or sells on their site. We've tested and reviewed them and like that they feature an aesthetic design with accurate weight tolerances for a price that's better than many other offerings. If you need plates, want something that will hold up for decades and look good while doing it, we recommend the 6-Shooters.
