Favorite 642 grips?

[Hurryin' Hoosier]

Uncle Mikes (designed by Craig Spegal). Managed to find NOS stocks for my 642, my 686, and my Model 10 all on eBay.

I like these. Really tames the felt recoil for me. I can actually enjoy shooting a box at the range

I ordered a set of these grips from S&W several years back for my model 60 and love them. Covers back strap and extra length for my larger hands. Rubber is not tacky. I like them much better than boot grips.

Another fan of Uncle Mike's boot grips. Unlike the stock S&Ws, they will allow speedloader use.

I find these grips fit my hand perfect for ultra concealment.

Where did you get those?

I got my sans lock 642 with a Red Crimson Trace. It doesn't really help much, considering that all my practice is in full daylight outside.

I guess I can say that it helps when practicing/dry-firing with caps, while sitting around the TV/PC inside.
Saves ammo while perfecting your trigger pull.

Sorry for the bad pic here are some betting ones. I got them from
PRECISION GUN SPECIALTIES Light weight but solid.

I also like the PGS Hideout grips, though I prefer the ones without finger grooves. The only downside is they don't work with speedloaders unless you modify them. I did that with the set that's on my 642 now. Bonus: They're only about $20 from Brownells.

Crimson Trace. I find they are better for recoil than the factory grips that came with mine. The laser doesn't really add anymore weight or size of any significance. If the laser is never used, fine; but, it's available if you like it and want it. I like it and want it, especially, for odd shooting positions such as under a church pew, under a restaurant table, around a corner, etc.

Karl Nill (for Centennials) Grips are my favorite. Magnums? No problem.

I use these on my 640-1 Pro and 940, too. In OWB leather at 4 o'clock they don't print with a vest.
