Anyone prefer service grips on newer snubs?

ALL of my revolvers wear service grips that match the contour of the frame. I can't stand grips (wood or rubber) that fill the area behind the trigger guard, or extend below the frame. Whether it is an I-frame or Colt New Service, I shoot the best with a "high hold"- my middle finger is placed as high as possible behind the trigger guard. Handling a gun with S&W wooden target grips or Hogue Monogrips is very unnatural for me, with too great of a wrist to bore measurement and excessive bulk. Same thing goes for Tyler T-Grips- I will never own one. My model 60-12 came the Uncle Mike's "Boot Grip". What a joke- there is nothing to hold on to. They were quickly replaced with service grips. To me, grip design reached its apex with the pre-war K and N frame square butt magnas. What would be neat is if a grip maker would create grips that matched the profile of the service stocks, but were made of rubber...

i have trouble gripping well with UM grips even with a high hold on it. i have thought about the UM banana grips but i think im prefering the feel of nothing right behind the trigger guard

Are the rubber grip that come on the new S&W "J" frames a S&W Grip Or a Uncle mike copy of a craig Spegel And what about the S*W Rubber Combat grip is it a S&W design of bought from a vendor/ Thanks Im looking for the small wood"J" fram grips what shoul;d I ask for?

With a T-Grip, I can use them okay. Without, I'd just as soon have no grips at all, since a bare frame both fits my hand and handles recoil about as well as service grips. I put Spegels on most of my J-frames, although my 340-PD wears Crimson Trace LG-405s.

I have a drawer full of grips and switch them around quite a bit. But I keep coming back to these on my daily pocket carry, with or without a T-grip.

I'm a little quicker on the draw without the T-grip, but faster on follow up shots with it.

I've got to throw a pic in here. I prefer longer grips and the rubber material helps them stick in my waist band better.

Service grips all the way!

Sorry, but I prefer big old Pachmeyers. I tried the service grips and the Tyler Ts and it just didn't do it for me.

Of course, my long fingers push through the tips of 2XL gloves. When I pull the trigger on a J-frame, my trigger finger runs into my thumb. Even with the bigger grips.
