Let's See Your J Frame Grips

[HarrishMasher]

I'm looking for inspiration. Show me what you got.

Here are the grips I currently have:

360PD wearing Eagle Secret Service Grips
642 Pro Series Altamont Rosewood
442 Altamont Polymer and Rosewood

Plus some I have collected and still have:

There on a M36-1, only ok if you CC, too big....

My first J Frame at 61 yrs old. Had it a few weeks. (1981) Got it to the range once. 7yds one hand on steel gongs not too bad. It is a learning & practice thing. Regardless, it is fun to shoot! Bob

The grips on the 642-1 (right side) work best for me, partly because it is harder to bang up the back strap when it is covered with wood.

Yeah, I am clumsy.

These are both Altamont grips that were sanded down to make using a speed loader easy.

For my EDC, I just stay factory spegel pattern UM's.

My Pre 34 .22/32 uses spegel cocobolos

The 49 no dash is factory with a Tyler insert.

The intent was to mimic the revolver shown above so I sought out some older high-horn stocks for this Model 649.

Plan B:

I like Eagle Secret Service grips on my Airweights

S&W Model 60 Pro grips on 3" and my old school Model 60 like smooth magnas & a Tyler

The laser doesn't mean a whole lot to me, but these are very comfortable to shoot with for such a thin grip.

Rosewood boot style combats.

 

[Boogsawaste]

Magnas. Please excuse the ruger.

 

[JohnHancock]

Best of both worlds! Silverblack for practical concealability and natural wood elegance!

Harrish - do you think the Altamont Polymer and Rosewood cushion your hand as well as the stock rubber grips?

I'm loving my new 638 and would like to dress it up a little, but I read one review of the all wood grips that your hand hurts while shooting. I have an Apex trigger kit in mine, so it's a joy to shoot as is. But like I said, I'd like to gussy her up a bit.

These arrived recently from EFF Industries.
They are thicker than their original design.
So far I like them a lot, but haven't tried them at the range.

The Uncle Mike boot grips (R.I.P.) aren't much to look at, but I like'em. They feel good in my hand and they're no bigger than they need to be. It's strange they went out of grip business years ago. I thought they had a good, popular product, in a solid distribution chain.

I recently installed these Hogue Tamers; they're built specifically for the centennial frame--covering the entire backstrap. They also extend 0.41" below the frame to make room for a pinky. Makes for a very ergonomic grip that is easy to shoot with (this target was 10 rounds of Gold Dot 135 +P at 7 yards, offhand.)

Spegel who designed the grips and Uncle Mikes got into some type of "territory" war and production stopped.

I'd love to have a set of rubber boot grips for a K frame round butt.

My two faves; Crimson Trace Laser Grip and Uncle Mikes Boot Grip.
