My name will be coming up soon on Mr. Spegel's wait list (nearly 1 year) and I'm debating between the boot grips, extended boot grips or the full size grips for a J frame S&W 649.

Have his boot grips on a S&W 686 plus 3" revolver and they work being a larger frame. But not sure boot grips would work for me on the smaller J frame.

On Craig Spegel's website there's a picture of his J frame round butt full size grips. They look close in size to the full size rubber grips that came on my S&W 649.

Having big, fat hands I find these full size rubber grips give me best control and comfort when shooting 38 +P and 357 mag in the 649.
I do have the Uncle Mike's J frame boot grips and although much smaller don't give the same control with just two fingers.


Anyone have Craig Spegel full size J frame grips?
Need your thoughts and impressions please. Too big for CC?

P.S. - The S&W 649 will be a CC gun in OWB holster carried at 3:00 - 4:00.




Thanks, Paul

Boot grips are fine for J-Frames and .38+P, but if you plan to shoot magnums I would consider something larger.

The Uncle Mike's three finger rubber combat grips were designed by Mr. Spegel. I'm assuming his "full size" grips the same but in wood. I would have them checkered.

With that being said, that picture on his website is the first I've ever seen of them.

I have had full size on J Frame (642) which are best for shooting,
but went back to the Uncle Mike's boot grips (designed by Spegel)
for concealment. Unfortunately you can't have both.

Hi,
I just looked up Spegel's full-size "Granadillo" wood boot grips for a j-frame and then Uncle Mike's 59007 RB rubber full-size boots and they appear to be about the same size. I have a 360J with S&W full-size boot grips that look to be the same as the Uncle Mike's and I carry it in a size 03 Blackhawk pocket holster in my pocket regularly. In jeans it's about all that fits in my front pocket, but it does work there or in the back pocket.

Bump up to the top
