factory wood round butt grips with the tyler t-grip has worked for me for 35 years on my j-frames.

Good subject...I love J Frames and I love grips! All of these are Altamont's.

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.






Goes with me everywhere.

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.

What happened to the finish?

I'm partial to factory stocks and a Tyler T......


Or bananas.....

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.

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

I like it......is yours a lock model and who made the holster? Thanks.

Thanks chewy. It doesn't have the lock.

I made the holster for myself. I glad you like it.

For CCW guns, its boot grips for me.
I order Ahrends Cocobolo finger grove grips for my J frame. I order them unfinished. That way I can work on them with some 80 grip to get a fine, personal fit. Then, after working down to 220 grit, I apply several coats of Tung oil. I don't see the logic of big grips on a small concealable revolver. If I use larger grips, I can also use a larger gun (K frame snub). I have a similar philosophy about barrel length. 2 inches for a J frame and 2.5 or 3 inches for a K or L frame, for CCW.

Best,
Rick

Hello all:

I am new to the J Frame club. I was wondering if the clip stocks make any difference in the shooting of the little J Frames as far as recoil of muzzle flip is concerned?

Please take into account with your feedback that I am shooting a Model 360pd 357 weighing only 12 oz. But will probably not shoot anything over the +P very often.

The rubber factory grips are really nice and the recoil is to be expected for such a light gun. What I don't want is to spend $ on a new set of stocks just to be disappointed. My guess is that the hard plastic grips will cause it to be a bit more severe?!

Please advise when possible and I appreciate the feedback.

Eagle Secret Service, magnas ant tgrip, and factory bananas are predominantly what I use. Currently have a no dash nickel 442 with bananas in a Kramer pocket holster.

Love the altamonts

These are factory J frame combats. I haven't been able to find much info on them, other than they are expensive if you can find them.

Like Taroman, I've tried all the pretty grips out there, but found that for concealability and shootability, you just can't beat the stock service grips with the T-grip adapter. Here's my very well worn M38 and my not-so-worn M66...

Here's my scandium j frame. The finish got so bad on it I had it coated Marine Corp red. The Ergo grips are terrific and very comfortable even if they look weird. I can make hits with it and that's what counts. It lives in the leather pocket holster which is why the finish wore so badly.

I have a model 36 round butt that came w/ wood grips but they were uncomfortable when shooting so we replaced them with Hogue rubber grips much like some of the pictures but they were designed in the three finger style instead of two finger as many that were shown. They are very comfortable and are not so big as to interfere w/ concealed carry. My wife and I love them.

I recently picked up this older Model 36 with factory banana grips; I was surprised as to how good they feel and how well the revolver points with them. Probably not the best if you are trying to conceal it though.

I really like the grips that come on the 642 Performance Center Talo Edition. I found that they sell this grip at Altamontco Grips. They are the best feeling, hand fitting grips I have on any of my J Frames. Altamont Company

This is not a collection; it is an accumulation

My 442 currently wears ERGO Delta grips. They look strange and it takes a few seconds to accustom oneself to the feel. 5 yard accuracy is as before -- never great with a 10 lb. trigger pull, but adequate. And these grips do eliminate the trigger guard smack on the middle finger's second knuckle, a big problem for me. After 50 rounds or so the webbing of the hand does get a little sore from the hard backside of the grip. It is still a work in progress.....

The Delta grips came off after a while -- while the trigger guard smack was gone, I never liked the general feel of the Deltas. The new Hogue rubber Monogrip eliminates both the trigger guard smack of the stock grips and the wierd feel of the Delta grips.

M&P 340, Karl Nill stocks, and 135gr Speer GDSB = 1 lb.

Same set up on my 640 Pro = 1½ lbs.

Yip, the stocks are huge. They fit my mitt. No problem with cc at 2 or 4 o'clock. Makes the 640 feel like a K-frame, without the weight, and handles the recoil as well.

I can't stand any of the stock grips on a j frame. I feel like I have to bend my right thumb so far down to keep it out of the way of pulling the trigger, that it doesn't work. Or you stick it forward underneath the cylinder and that makes me nervous.

I bought the Hogue Tamer grips and they feel like they were made for my hand and make the gun feel like a different gun. I IWB strong side and never carry in a pocket, so the size isn't an issue. I know they help with felt recoil too.

Another vote for the Uncle Mike's Boots,but the new factory rubber boots are good too. If you want wood take a look at the offerings from VZ Grips. The checking is very aggressive and it sure won't slip around in your hand. I like the black cherry myself.

If you carry concealed, remember that aggressive checkering is on the inside of your cover garment, and will grind away at the fabric as your arm moves against the outside. I wore out a sweater this way, and have a pretty thin lining on one of my jackets. Just FYI.

Blu Mag makes an excellent grip for the J Frames. They are concealable but most of all if you shoot the J frames they offer comfort in the recoil department. The backstrap is covered which puts the trigger finger in a better position for fast double action shooting. They also allow the hammer to be cocked for single action long range work. I cannot post pictures but I believe the web site has a picture of them.

Centennial and DeSantis IWB. Love the looks of the original smooth Magnas, but these Hogues fit much better.

Cool pic.... what kind of camera is he holding?

I have a 642 and a 442 both with Crimson Trace Laser grips. Not as pretty as some of those wooden grips but very practical for a carry gun. I only use these guns as concealed carry guns and only shoot them often enough to be somewhat proficient with them.

In October I put a Hogue Tamer on one of my 442s. It softened the recoil just fine. Last month a freind gave me a couple sets of Pachmayer Compacts. They fit my hand perfect. I hope they feel that good on the Range. I put one set on the Wife's 442 and a set on my 37. I'll be trying them out in a few weeks.

Pachmayr Compacs are outstanding!

For me. Hogue bantams on my J Snubbies

I've got a 442 J-frame but the little boot grips that came on the gun from the factory just don't fit or feel right.
Anybody know where I might lay my hands on either a set of Herrett's or one of the older Pachmayrs that extend beyond the frame?

Back in February I tried several Grips on my J-Frames. I ended up with Pachmyer Compacts on my 36. It shoots well with the weight of the gun and the size of the grips. This is a good AIWB Gun. One of my 442s got the Houge Tammers. They handle recoil of the lighter gun pretty good and it still fits some pants pockets but mostly gets AIWB carry. The other 442 and bobbed 37 got the Uncle Mike's Boot Grips. They are excellent for pocket carry. Shooting standard loads of 130gr. are not bad for a box or Two of practice. Sighting in +Ps and seeing their point of aim is not that bad. Here is a picture of my carry guns. The one 442 had wood grips at that time. I didn't like how the T grip fit my hand so it has Uncle Mike's Boots now.
