    Grip thicknesses

    Hello again, I was wondering what the grip thicknesses are for factory J-frames? I've gotten some Altamont panel grips, but looking at pics from older models, the grips seem thicker. Is that the case? I also got a m28-2 with panel grips, they also seem thicker. Is it just me or is this the...
