still looking to trade?

to the OP, I think you have your stories switched... S&W has been making the "bodyguard" variant of their revolvers for a long time, as stated above, cerca 1955... Ruger recently started making their LCR.... How exactly do you mean that S&W is copying Ruger in design and appearance? I agree...

442Js, I have a 442 as well. The front sight is hard to pick up in a not well lit range, that's for sure! But with a little practice it shouldnt be too hard... For a 7 yard range shot, you shouldnt really need to look at the sights too much for the purpose of aiming. If you can correct your...

Yes, they have recently done a limited production run of their 442, with a magna ported barrel. Here's a link. Product: Model 442 Mag-Na-Ported-Barrel I picked one up. They're about $100 more than a regular 442, but the magnaporting will cost you about the same not including the shipping...

Yeah, that's what im thinking... I would love to see the best of both worlds... hybrid grip with wood on the sides for the asthetics and lack of stickiness, and rubber high up on the backstrap for a little hand protection. I'd settle for a non sticky "rubber" boot grip that goes all the way up.

Thanks Gary, that looks like a great idea! I'll start charging down that road and see where it leads me, thanks for the PM reply too! Jesse

Thanks Dale, I think I'll give them a try next, after I give the hogue monogrip a shot (since I've already ordered it!). Im a tinkerer at heart... so im thinking about picking up the Uncle Mike's combat grip, and chopping at it... and taking my factory stocks and chopping at them, maybe I can...

Exactly as I feared... I have to buy a laser to get a good grip! :D Well I may pick up another brand and see if I cant make them work together. To be honest, im really really surprised that no companies have jumped on the idea to have wood stocks with a rubber backstrap section at the top...

I am in the same boat, I have purchased a Hogue grip basically for range work. After the make shift skin flap that the S&W stocks tried to rip off my hand has finished healing (from my first range trip), I will dedicate the hogue grip to fulltime range duty, always and forever. But it would be...

So after all my research, I refuse to believe that no one offers a "hybrid" grip for the J frame. I have read a ton of posts and visited alot of websites and havent found what I feel like would be the most concealable yet offering a decent of amount of recoil absortion, arguably the best of...
