J Frame Grips

Pachmayr Compacts are my favorite. I do have one set of Houge Tamers. My hands are old and beat so I need cushion. They fit all my pants pockets.

- Rubber on the back for recoil management

As one who was issued J Frames and carried as a primary and later as a backup, then as a CCW for 50+ years, nothing is better or faster than the Crimson Trace laser grips. They double your speed and insure accuracy whether you can see your

Nothing is faster or better that CT laser grips on a J frame. You cut your response time in half and accuracy is guaranteed whether you can see your gun or not. But they are not very comfortable. Just depends if you actually carry for a real risk or that one in a million possibility.

As a former CCW instructor, I always recommend them for any carry J Frame, just common sense. Personally, I have several, three with CT grips on them. I can practice with any I want, but when it comes to self defense, one with the laser goes along.

In fact, a J Frame with laser makes the perfect second gun. In an emergency, you can arm a friend or family member and anyone can defend with that one. And I once had a near robbery where that actually happened. FWIW

I wear XL keystone thumb leather gloves. My favorite J-frame grips are Ergo Delta , not pretty but they suit me to a T. The grip feels great and mitigates the flip caused by shooting Speer Gold Dots.View attachment 760541

I have them on the model 60 three inch.. If you shoot 357 that matter a lot.

Any of the rubber grips should do the job and be cost effective. Hogues, Pachs, UC, just depends on your preference. I personally like the Hogues, but YMMV
