The gun's a round-butt 649-5, .357; I've got a CT Lasergrip on it, which I like, but neither it nor the original grip was large enough for my hand. I like the gun for concealability, but I have trouble using it with .357's because the handle's too small.

Anyone know of a larger grip/stock to fit that will solve my problem, preferably in rubber?

(I recognize this may affect concealability, but what's the point of a concealable gun I can't shoot comfortably?)

Check out the Pachmayr line of Grips. Rubber and made for larger hands. Both in a round butt Compac configuration and a Square Butt offering.

Had trouble with a SP 101 I carried and solved it with the Pachmayrs.

Depends on which CT grips you have as they have different sizes available. The LG105 is the smallest for concealability, with an exposed backstrap and short, grip frame length. The LG405 has the covered backstrap but is still short. The LG305 has the covered backstrap and a longer length for a full three fingered grip.

I find the LG305 to be the most comfortable of the three and like them quite a bit for shooting. The LG105 looks to be the ticket for pocket carry strictly in terms of concealment.

But of course this is only if you really want to retain the laser. If that's not important to you then I would also recommend the Pachmayer Compac if you want rubber. I really like the way they feel in the hand.
