Here's a Link To Stephen A. Camp's writeup about J Frame S&W Grips...
NICE ARTICLE!!
Getting A Grip

Hello, Headknocker, and thanks very much.

Best to you and yours.

I tend to lean towards "organic" grips for my J Frames...

Model 36 wearing ivory with S&W medallions...can't swear they're factory but they've got some great patina to them.


Model 49 Bodyguard wearing what I believe to be Red Stag...again with medallions but, again, cannot ID them as factory.


Nickel Model 36 wearing Dyamondwood Boot Grips


Model 36-1 wearing non-factory stag, possibly sambar.


Model 36 nickel wearing mother of pearl with a Tyler-T Grip.


A nifty little square butt 36 with factory walnut.


My daily companion ever so well dressed in elk stag crafted by our very own Executioner.

Catman - anytime you put up pix, I'm there...
Nice

Thanks, photohause...I consider that a great compliment coming from you.

I feel a little guilty as these are all retreads...I REALLY need to take some more pics but, since I opened my gun shop a year ago (August 1, 2007...wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), I haven't had the time I used to have to stage and light these puppies.

I'll try to get some new stuff done soon. (I have a Model 12 I just HAVE to show off!) Thanks again for your kind words and please keep posting your extraordinary work.

Sir, HAPPY Birf'Day!!!!! Congrats on one year!

Yes, it is hard to take time to
do other stuff form main bidnezz
time. Congrats.... best of luck,
and, please keep those great pix
com'n... I enjoy them and learn
from them too. Nice job, sir!

Shoot, back in early June I got a new (for me) Mod 28 and promised some fresh pix.....
Duh... soon I hope.

Paddywonka, great looking grips! (Altamount??)

Are these grips made specifically for a right handed person?

Gratuitous 642 shot with new Spegels.

Digi-shots,to my knowledge these grips,are for left or right hand.While being right handed,I have a left master eye,so I practice and shoot with both hands.Can shoot just as good(or bad) with either hand and thes grips.Grips made by fellow in Indiana,clipsngrips on ebay.

Ivory on my scratched up M60

Picked up my Wife a 642 with some Altamont Flour-De-Le grips in Rosewood. She likes them alot.

Glad to see you got yourself a set of Spegals for your 642-1 Prisoner6..
They Look & Feel Great Don't They!!
I much prefer them to the Ahrends for carry as there's no sharp edges & Love the high horn..

Just an update since I received a set of Hideout's today. My 642-1 weighs 14.5 oz with them installed. Nice feel to them - now to relieve them for speedloaders.
