Lets talk about J-Frame Grips......

What is this?
It is not often I am so stumped.
 
factory wood round butt grips with the tyler t-grip has worked for me for 35 years on my j-frames.

I bought this new in '75, (Model 60,.38 SPL. 2"), and always used the original grips with the grip adapter for 17 years carrying it as a backup. It was very easy to conceal. I'm in FL and carry it in my back shorts pocket.

Looks just like my no-dash, my favorite carry piece !

Anybody have a source for J frame round butt stag stocks?
How about vintage elephant/mammoth ivory?
I tried a search but my google-fu was weak.
 
442 with Altamant silver black boot grips

I had a set of Hogue boot grips. They really got hung up on my shirt with my inside the pant holster. I went looking for a smooth wood stock. These are my first Altamonts. I really like the silver/black they offer.

I can't say I like it or that I hate it, but I grant you one thing: that sure is different and you can't keep from looking at it.
 
I ordered these from Smith & Wesson for my model 60. Large enough for comfortable hold, covered back-strap, fairly smooth for rubber, and don't have to worry about them getting scuffed up.
 
Thanks for reminding me-

I stumbled across this woman's website a while back but had forgotten about it. Those really are beautiful grips - for all manner of hand guns.

Anybody using them on a J-frame and care to post a picture? I'd sure like to get a look at them on a 642 (or similar enclosed hammer mode.)

Thanks,

Here is a set of Esmerelda grips on my 649.




 
What happened to the finish?

It a skull. The gunsmith shop that I work with use a skull in their logo. It's a duracoat finish.
