Best J-Frame Grips Ever!

[Arceface1]

A lot of people ask....what the best J-Frame grips are....or what the best grips in general are, and the answer for me is ALWAYS Karl Nill.

If you've never felt a pair of Nill grips you're truly missing out.

Ergonomics like none other and they drastically improve the trigger reach for larger hands.

Perfect fit and finish and looks to boot.

Those grips look really good on your gun. I have some Altamont Combat on a 638-3 that I really like.

Altamonts always get me right in the web of my hand, the edges near the top of their grips are far too sharp. I like the looks of the Nill set and they're clearly a lot smoother there.

I have the OP's gun but with a pinto setup (442PC)...I like my current grip/T-Grip combo but those Nill grips DO look sharp!

I prefer Spegels for J frames (and all other frame sizes as well)

 

[two-bit cowboy]

I heartily agree with SmithNut, Spegel rules.

I carry my J Frames in the pocket so I prefer boot grips.
Been on Spegal's revolver list for a while, hope to hear from him when he can.
Am trying these Hamr Forged licensed Spegal copies. Just got them recently and haven't made it to the range yet.

638 with regular grips.
340PD with the high horn Hamr hook grip to try out.

Those might be the perfect grips I've been looking for. I LOVE the size and shape of Hogue's full size rubber grips for the J-frame but hate that they're rubber. Those look pretty close in shape.

 

[bobsguns]

I prefer Altamonts myself. VZ grips are a close, close second place.

Hogues. It's what came on it, and they fit my hand and pocket.

 

[sprscientist]

I have no doubt that those Nills are great. Every set I've had have been exceptional in comfort.

For 2" J frames, my preference is Spegel boot grips.

Best grips

I have Spegels and like them, but Curtis Harlow does nice work too.

I usually come back to Pachmayrs or Uncle Mike's Boot or three finger combat style.

He's supposedly coming out with those grips with filler behind the backstrap for those of us with larger hands. I'll probably be in for three sets when he does.

I really like these Culina j frame Round Butt grips on my 642 PC.

My 640-1 wears Uncle Mike's Boot Grips too, compact and comfortable to shoot. Sadly, they are out of production, I read it was due to a licensing dispute with Craig Spegal.

Which model S&W is this please?

It really depends on your hand size and shape. One the best grips I've found is the Taurus small boot grip fitted to an S&W J frame. It gives a lot of upper back strap coverage to increase my trigger finger reach but is still a boot grip style. They also convert an SA/DA hammer gun into a DA only. You can fire the gun DA, but the grip prevents cocking the hammer. Probably best used on internal hammer guns.

Uncle Mike's Spegal grips also work with my large hands, but not as well as the Taurus.

These Cool hand from amazon also work for me, but some need to be fitted to the frame.

And these VZ work well but are heavy, adding unnecessary weight to a lightweight gun.

I really like these Culina j frame Round Butt grips on my 642 PC.

I bought an absolutely beautiful set of combat grips from Culina but they didn't fit my 432UC.

 

[heeter3]

Those are very nice Arceface1.I like the old Herrett shooting aces for my J smiths and D colts.

OK
You win...

I tried wood and rubber boot grips on my scandium J frame and then tried these. They ain't pretty but they work. They totally change the wrist grip angle when firing the gun and it feels so much better to me than ordinary grips.

Harlow grips!

Curt Harlow makes J frame grips to fit my hand perfectly!

I thought Spegel gave up the business a few years ago.

I thought Spegel gave up the business a few years ago.

You may be thinking of Kim Ahrends, who closed up shop in 2/2020.

Here are a couple with Nill grips!

Thanks for the heads up on Hamre Forged grips. I have a set of Spegel grips on an L frame and have been waiting for years for Craig to call for my J frame. I received a set of Hamre Forge's without the hook, and they work perfectly on one of my 642's. These are a great option and hopefully, Mr. Spegel is getting a nice royalty for his involvement.

I use Crimson Trace lasers on my EDC, a 649-2. With the covered backstrap they are quite comfortable. My son has a 63 SB and has Herrett Shooting Stars on it. They are terrific.

I like these cocobolo grips from Esmeralda. She does mainly 1911's but also gets into J frames.
