Who makes S&W J-frame rubber grips?

Who makes S&W brand J-frame rubber combat grips that are almost like the defunct Uncle Mike's? I'm not talking the compact, but the longer banana-type ones. I got a set, but sure wish it was nylon instead of tacky rubber for CCW use. Thanks

My early 642 came with the Uncle Mike's grips. It is my understanding that those grips were discontinued because of a licensing disagreement between Uncle Mike's and Craig Spegel, the designer.

I don't know that there is a replacement that is similar. I know that some replacements interfere with speedloader use (the Uncle Mike's do not). One possible solution is to have Craig make a set for you out of wood (I like Cocobolo and Kingwood). They won't be cheap, and delivery times are a bit long, but none of that will matter when you finally get them.

Here's a set of Craig's Boot Grips+ in Cocobolo on one of my 625's. They're about ½" longer than standard boot grips, but you can see what his work looks like.
