J Frame Grips That Handle Recoil???
I have a 632 with a 3 inch comped barrel (like the old K-comps). Some of the .327 Federal loads are kind of brisk in a J frame sized gun. Any recommendations for minimal sized wood grips that cover the backstrap without lengthening the grip too much that help you hang on to heavy loads?
Thanks

J-frame grips
The leader on the Ampersand for this post had a picture of a J-frame with a fancy scroll-worked, black and white set of grips. Can anybody tell me where these came from - what shop/person purchased from. I'd like to find a similar pair but have been unable to locate any info. I'm referring to the following grips:
http://media.sailthru.com/51e/1k0/5/c/5734890a2a73f.jpg
I'd appreciate any help. Feel free to send me a personal message - I'd welcome that. Thanks.

Search Ebay for "smith J Grips inlay". You'll find similar styles.

Does anyone know if there are "Craig Spegel-style" J-Frame grips made out of horn, stag or ivory, produced by ANYONE?
I know there are plenty of small S&W original-style grips by Grasshorn and others, but I'm looking for a grip that doesn't require the addition of a Tyler T-grip or similar adapter.

This thread has such a collection of beautiful grips and guns that I consider it high art and have enjoyed viewing all the posts here.
My own selection for carry grips on my 360PD AirLite was completely made on practicality. The laser was important for my aging eyes, but the recoil cushioning air channel over the backstrap was the primary determinant for my choice of Crimson Trace laser grips.
Recoil from the 11 oz AirLite was very painful even shooting +P .38's. The CT's air channel over the backstrap has made shooting the AirLite tolerable if not comfortable.
At just one pound loaded and in the zytec holster ( thinner than leather) the 360PD is nearly always with me AISW carry. It's not an object 'd art but a functional tool.

I just went through this entire thread once again. So many beautiful guns and grips made it worth the trip.
I updated my 360PD AirLite's holster shaving a tenth of an ounce to make it just under a pound to carry loaded and holstered.
Still wearing Crimson Trace for the cushion and laser. Maybe I'll take the stock boot grips off my 640 Pro Series and put something custom on it:
My model 69 also has a laser for my old eyes but also has a FastFire III red dot for long shots.

I FAVOR THE CRIMSON TRACE, LASER GRIPS.....
THIS IS THE LG-405 MODEL, THAT CUSHIONS THE BACKSTRAP, WITH A MOLDED-IN AIR CHAMBER, AND REDUCES FELT RECOIL........

Well, I don't think that I've shown my recently aquired 640-1 in its new "Eagle" brand "Secret Service" style rosewood stocks on this thread. I had read mixed reviews on these, and when I saw the condition of the used 640-1 that I recently bought as a result of JohnRippert's thread, and saw a set on eBay for less than retail, I thought this would be a good chance to give them a try. Anything would have been better than the extremely worn rubber stocks that came on the gun. I was very pleased:
The only regret I have is that there were two sets advertised, and I only ordered one, and by the time I got them and saw how nice they were, the other set had sold. I would buy them again.
Just noticed that M1A in the post just above has the same ones on his J frame!! For some reason I don't see that many of them on posts here.
Best Regards, Les

I like the Eagle grips. They are close by, and I just bop over and he puts them on for me. Nice guy.
How do you like mags thru the snubby?

Wow, that is cool...being able to stop by the shop and have them put on!!! Yes, I had seen them advertised forever, but put off actually trying a set. I saw some on eBay just at the right time, as I was getting this revolver. Glad I did, now I can see the quality.
Well, this 640-1 is twice the weight of my 340 PD, so the recoil is not as brutal. In my 340, I like to carry the 135 gr Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel .357 magnum. It is specifically loaded for these little guns, and I find that there is significantly less recoil than with the full house loads and 158 gr bullets.
So, from this heavier gun it is much milder.
Problem is, I have not been able to find the round offered for a couple of years!!! And when it was, it was very expensive. I did find the 38 +P version at a very attractibpve price, and stocked up on those as a fail safe. Also stocked up on the bullets themselves the last time that Midway had them in stock, so I can always load some of my own.
Short answer, got to find a load that is reasonable, or it is still unpleasant even with the greater mass.
Best Regards, Les

Altamonts on my 63
I really like the look and feel of this grip but the only issue I had was that the top part of the grip is thicker on the speed loader side than the right side. I didn't want to file and sand these nice looking grips so I modified one of my speed loaders to clear the grip.

Sambar Stags on 442 from last week end of walking the local gun show. Found the grips on a table. Then found the NIB PC 442, purchased and back to the other table for the Stags. Proud purchase for the new J frame

Very nice!! Those are some great grips there. I keep thinking about some stags. I have several sets of ivory, but still have to get around to some stags. They are getting as expensive as ivory was a couple of years ago.

These are a set of Thailand made grips on my 351. The fit was horrible when I first got them but after a few hours of sanding them down and then a few coats of tru-oil, I think they look and feel great now.

Pics of my S&W Model 36 with Altamont's "Santos Rosewood" boot grips.
These boot grips are a definite improvement over the small factory grips shown below.
Thanks for looking.
God bless,
Birdgun
