question about Craig Spegel Boot Grips

They're somewhat similar in that the frontal area is filled, a couple "finger grooves" are present and the backstrap remains open but the actual feel is rather different. Spegel's boot grips feature a pronounced palm swell you don't get from factory magnas. They also lack the thick horns magnas have.
I've had my carry 649 set up both ways that you mentioned. I agree with what -db- said about the palm swell. To me, that would probably be the biggest difference in "feel".
I prefer the feel of stock magnas with a T-Grip on a J-frame, but I think it would come down to personal preference.
Having said that....Spegels are beautiful, high quality grips made out of fine quality, exotic wood....very classy!

There's another difference that may not matter to some. If you grip a gun with the magna/adapter combo, there's a small gap under the fingers between the side of the adapter and the front of the adjacent magna grip. There is no such gap on boot grips. This, along with the palm swell, gives a more hand-filling, solid feel, at least to me. I will probably experiment with other grips just to see what's out there, but I can't imagine finding a J-frame grip that fits my hand better than the Spegel boot grips. But everyone's different, so what works best for me may not work best for you (or anyone else, for that matter).
FYI, IIRC, the Spegel boot grips were originally designed to mimic the the general shape of the Tyler T-Grip adapter/magna grip combination.

Just to give you an idea. These aren't Spegels. Uncle Mike's Boot Grips, designed by Craig Spegel. The bad news is they don't make them any more. When you can find them, they run $25 to $35. They were made in SB & RB.
As you can see they have the same profile as Magnas and T-Grip. There is a palm swell but they taper down to the butt.
Spegel makes these in RB and SB.

Spegels fit better than any other grip I've ever tried, like the proverbial glove. For my hands, there's nothing better.
