What kind of grips do you have on your J frame? - Page 2

Target grips. Don’t like Magnas.

Target grips are a 'bit' large for a J frame.

I have a 642 with the wooden grips and a Tyler T and love it!

The only J-frame I now own (a Smith & Wesson 351PD) used to wear pretty rosewood grips, but since it was supposed to be a "working gun" (a backup to whatever primary I was carrying) I swapped the rosewoods out for a Crimson Trace unit.

The rubber, laser-equipped grips actually fill my hand better, and guide the limited number of shots in the revolver decisively.

Absolutely no complaints, from me!

I really like my prestige grips. They are light and concealable but also fit my mitts like a glove.

I tried to post a picture but it was huge. I think this works though.

Howdy

I tend to like the grips that came on my guns.

Model 36 Flat Latch

Model 36 with Tyler T grip.

Model 60.

Model 63.

For a carry gun, I prefer the Magnas and a T grip.

Like them on my K frames too.

Next would be the Houge rubber boot grips, as they are about as small as you get there.

Never understood why S&W put those big, over sized rubber grips on the J frames. Seems to just defeat the whole purpose.

On my carry revolver, a crimson trace that covers the back strap with rubber, but is still as short as a boot grip. It was more because the weird XS dot sight didn't provide a clear point of aim, the rear notch has to be 2/3 of the way up the dot to hit point of aim.

On another J frame, I did a "bad thing". I took a pair of rubber Taurus boot grips that covered the back strap, drilled holes to fit the cross pin of the S&W 637, and on they went. They feel *great*. Let me tell you, it's really difficult to find boot grips that cover the backstrap.

Pachmayr Compacs

Dave Chuppa · September 10, 2020, 08:16 PM

Pachmayr Compacts are my favorite for shooting and carrying. I have one set of Hogue Tamers that come in a close second.

S&W rubber that came on the first one, Bantam (Hogue,I think) on #2. S&W grips on #2 wouldn't clear the speed loaders.
I pocket carry so big easily gripped handles don't work.

camsdaddy · September 12, 2020, 11:57 AM

Another vote for Uncle Mikes boot grip. I don't know why. I just tried them and they work so I quit looking those secret service grips are tempting.

Equipped with period correct accessories from e-Bay.

Skans · September 14, 2020, 04:04 PM

I have high quality faux pearl grips on my nickle J-frame. Yeah, I like pearl grips. I have a some real pearl grips for a couple of my pistols and I like the look.

Lavan · September 14, 2020, 04:05 PM

M63 6 inch with Altamont wood.

I also ike pearl grips BUT cant help but think what Ge. Patton said." ONLY A New Orleans PIMP WOUD USE PEARL GRIPS"

jglsprings · September 15, 2020, 09:04 AM

These boot grips came from S&W...

It's all about ease of carry with these. They are NOT as easy to shoot as the factory rubber grips (especially with 357 mags) but they don't stick on clothes, easy draw and a bit shorter - so I can pocket carry with a nemesis .

"Equipped with period correct accessories from e-Bay."

That's a pretty one. The black background is a nice touch. I guess the 3" barrel makes it a '89-'93. I stole the pic when no one was looking.
