Best J-Frame Grips Ever!

[gnystrom]

Ran my new Hamre Forged grips on a 642 PC today. Great shape but recoil was hard on the hands and that is coming from a guy that has thousands of rounds through a 340pd with LG 405 laser grips. I may go back to the factory rubber or the wood that came on this gun.

Those might just look right on my M36 instead of the factory Magnas. Things haven't been going good lately for me, but I always like blowing money on guns & stuff; makes me happy! I might have to check them out.

I have a 442 and my wife has a 642. Long ago I put Crimson Trace laser grips on both guns. Not as pretty but easy to hit what you are shooting at very quickly. Both are car guns. Usually back ups.

You are absolutely right. I had a 686 6" PP that I bought many years ago. I often thought about putting fancy new grips on her but liked the way the original Hogue grips felt under recoil so I never changed them.
I stupidly gave it to my son because I liked that gun so well I wanted to make sure he got it if I ever die. Damn! I miss that gun!

I put some altamonts round to square on. Looks good haven’t shot with them yet

You said it!!

A lot of great looking grips in this thread! I pocket carry so I've got Altamont boot grips on my 442. My 637 PC has nice Altamont wood combat grips on it, but those are a bit too big for my pocket.

I use older J frame "splinter" service grips with a Tyler T grip for the best concealment possible.

These work the very best for my big-mitts... Then they offer and aid in a quick deployment...

Looks dimensionally identical to the Pachmayer or Uncle Mike’s rubber grips I put on all my S & W revolvers.

Pretty wood grips can be absolutely gorgeous. But, are good looks really your reason for acquiring an S&W J-Frame revolver, or was it something else?


(Please ignore that flyer 8, like it never happened.)

^^^Nice shooting!

Nice looking grips. I suspect they would be great for pocket carry.

Nice shooting indeed!

I bought a 432 mostly to scratch an itch. I already pocket carry an LCR .38 and don't have any issues with the recoil. The 432 is the first j frame I've owned in years. Already had the Spegels.

I have tried other J-Frame grips, some beautifully approaching the finest in artistic achievement. But, I keep returning to the Hogue Bantams as being the most useful.
