Couple more grips options, my .22/.32 heavy target I bought with a ringed barrel then replaced with a early Kit gun barrel. The other one is a flat latch model 43 no dash my dad picked up for me in Reno. It was cheap but a little rough. I had to do some repair work but its super tight now and shoots great. The dark black looking grips were some old customs that were just way to big for the little J frame. I took about 3/4's of an inch off the bottom now fit to the frame and also took more of the back, exposed and fit to the backstrap of the grip frame now. The S&W grips were some older smooth J frame targets that I also cut down and thinned out on both sides then added some stippling in a Roper style pattern. They both feel much better and look more in proportion to these small revolvers.
