Because of severe arthritis I switched the grips on my 640 to Pachmayr Compacs that allow my little finger to come into play. Still readily concealable in the holstered pocket carry I prefer, but easier for me to control, and the grip design keeps the knuckle of my thumb clear of the cylinder release. My hands are medium-to-large.
