J-frame grip pictures - let's see 'em.

[RichCapeCod]

Custom grips by Fuzzy Farrant. Wonderful workmanship and design.

Single palm-swell and checkering on one side. Smooth and flat on the body side of the grip.

Double sided palm swell. No checkering.

I like an open backstrap, but otherwise I like them Fuzzy's. How about a rear-view photo showing the difference between the LH & RH grips?

442 & 640...Grips by Esmeralda.

Wow! I've never seen these before. I may have just found what I want for my model 49! I particularly like the Andean Alder. Esmeralda's site is in my favorites now. Thanks for posting!

Lost count of how many different grips my Model 60 has worn in its 39 years.
Finally realized that simplicity is indeed the ultimate sophistication:

Here is a J-frame Model 637 with Hogue Rosewood checkered grips that is part of my carry rotation. And one of my favorites, a Model 66-0 with Patrick Grashorn's stag grips.

I highly recommend these one-of-a-kind modified Pachys on my Model 60. All you need is a hacksaw and a disc grinder.

 

[deanodog]

J Scott's I think

[jframe]

Sissy grips...all of them. This is how a j-frame is supposed to look.

I agree, except with Magnum loads out my 640-1. Ouch!

A $15 set from a parts box in a gun shop. They feel great. No idea who the maker is.

 

[ralph7]

Three more, non-sissy style.

Who makes the center stags?
They look just like the pair I have, that I don't know the maker.

 

[Stainz]

I have a selection of grips on my J-frames:

Of course, my selection was for the upper left hand '60 Pro' OEM grip - a $43 part from S&W. My 642 still has it's easier to pocket tote original rubber boot grip. The wood 60 Pro grips fit any RB J-frame - and my medium+ hands - quite nicely. They sometimes must be back-ordered - but they are worth the wait. Find a '60 Pro', SKU 178013, at a lgs or show to 'test' the grip's feel & fit.

Here's another set made by Craig Spegel in Thuya Burl on a 940, Leather by Rafter S.

 

[hotrod150]

ralph7- the grips on the center gun are genuine imitation plastic stags for an i-frame, made by Sports Inc of Chicago. Picked them up at a gun show-- even though I don't own an i-frame, I couldn't resist them. They fit a RB j, although they come up a little short at the bottom. They're for sale, along with the Pachmayr grips adapter shown-- if you're interested, shoot me a PM.

I like 'em! Too bad Pachmayr doesn't sell somethig like this. Grippers are too big and compacs are....too big also. These look about rght, assuming they're bucked off even with the butt.

Guys, please stop! Your killing me! I get to pick up my 642 today! I can't wait! I love snubbies!

[Chris L.]

Are those custom wood grips on the new model 642 Airweight's harder on your hands for recoil then the standard factory ones?

Nice! What kind of ammo is that in the speed strip?

I have tried other grips on my 60-4 and found that, because of the muzzle heaviness of this particular model, the shorter grips give a very awkward feel. The longer grips are almost necessary for good handling characteristics. For shooting, the stock grips are hard to beat but there are better looking grips. This has been my experience.
