Have a reissue model 40 lemonsqueezer. Does anyone know if aftermarket grips are out there for her? I've searched this mans internet high and low to no avail...thanks...

When I put aftermarket grips on my 40-1 I had to custom fit them. All it took was a Dremel to remove a small bit of material from the inside half moon on each side. After that they fit like a champ.

I spoke to Mr. Grashorn last week about making a set of Stags for my M40 and he said he couldn't because he didn't have a M40 frame. Stated he could make the stags but he would need me to ship the firearm to him.

Bottom Line, I purchased a set from a forum member and shipped them to Mr. Grashorn for medallion install. I think I'll let him tweek'em a little too.

Love the looks of the "NO LOCK" J Frame los..

I concur.

It brings back a touch nostalgia, in more ways than one.

Eagle Grips offers Model 40 specific wooded stocks...

Secret Service Checkered grips for S&W NEW Model 40 Eagle Grips Inc.

I purchased a set of Eagle Grips for my model 42. They didn't fit. I had to do some agressive wood removal with a small file, but now they fit great. I don't know if the 42 grip frame is different from the 40, or if the older 40/42's are different than the newly released ones. Or perhaps I just got a bad set from Eagle. Bottom line is that I am happy with the grips now. They are MUCH more comfortable than the original smooth magna grips. I think that they look better, too.

Very nice 42, girvin02. I dig the stocks, too.

Do they offer those in smooth finish and do the stocks cover the bottom part of the frame/grip handle or expose it like the factory stocks .?

No, I do not think that they are available with smooth finish (for the 40/42). At least they don't advertise them on their website. These do not cover the bottom of the grip, as shown in this picture:

thanks all for your insight...this is the exact info I was looking for..I havent been on in awhile, when the forum "switched" I was never able to import my account so I had to re-register. nice to see this is still THE best S&W forum period! thanks again..
