If you're gonna use your 638 "on the job" you might want to stick with the original rubber boot grips. I've got a matte 640 no dash the looks like the twin to Sips 642 with stags.. (Mine looks better though) You can track down magnas (wood) grips here in WTB or on e bay. You'll probably need a Tyler T, but thats a whole nuther issue.

To each his own, but I think you should give Annie back her gun.

I've read that genuine mother of pearl will get tacky, or sticky, with sweat, but I don't know if that is true or not.

Are you O.K.? Where are you? Still in Japan??

Stags also look pretty good...and the scarring makes them easy to grab but still not stick to clothing...that is why I like magnas or stag....rubber is too sticky (especially on the ankle)...Pearl and smooth wood is too slick...

I have stags on my 60 with a tyler, and fully agree.

But once again what works for me, may not for you.

Nice looking grips but the humpback seems a bit too utilitarian for them...I think they'd look better on a nice blued 36 or a high polish stainless/nickel like that anniversary 38 super...of course the real test is how the feel...I like a little traction on my j-frame grips and those seem a bit slick.

Yeah, exactly.

"i have a NEW S&W 638-3 with new lighter spring kit installed and found the grips to "dress" it up.....what do you guys thing of the grips........."

I don't know about those grips. They are nice, but it makes your hump look big.

I like the way they look on your 638! The factory ones may be better for lots of practice, but when "showing off" your gun, they'll make an impression.

I like em ! how about adding a gold (brass polished) tyler T . If your gonna go pimp ... go PIMP DADDY. the nice thing is you can always go back to stock at any time.
