If you carry concealed, remember that aggressive checkering is on the inside of your cover garment, and will grind away at the fabric as your arm moves against the outside. I wore out a sweater this way, and have a pretty thin lining on one of my jackets. Just FYI.
Lets talk about J-Frame Grips......

I saw a set like these on a model 60 at a show last month.
They are Bianchi Lighnings. They shroud the hammer spur and give the gun a profile like a model 38.

In October I put a Hogue Tamer on one of my 442s. It softened the recoil just fine. Last month a freind gave me a couple sets of Pachmayer Compacts. They fit my hand perfect. I hope they feel that good on the Range. I put one set on the Wife's 442 and a set on my 37. I'll be trying them out in a few weeks.

Pachmayr Compacs are outstanding!

The Delta grips came off after a while -- while the trigger guard smack was gone, I never liked the general feel of the Deltas. The new Hogue rubber Monogrip eliminates both the trigger guard smack of the stock grips and the wierd feel of the Delta grips.
M&P 340, Karl Nill stocks, and 135gr Speer GDSB = 1 lb.
Same set up on my 640 Pro = 1½ lbs.
Yip, the stocks are huge. They fit my mitt. No problem with cc at 2 or 4 o'clock. Makes the 640 feel like a K-frame, without the weight, and handles the recoil as well.

For me. Hogue bantams on my J Snubbies
I've got a 442 J-frame but the little boot grips that came on the gun from the factory just don't fit or feel right.
Anybody know where I might lay my hands on either a set of Herrett's or one of the older Pachmayrs that extend beyond the frame?

Back in February I tried several Grips on my J-Frames. I ended up with Pachmyer Compacts on my 36. It shoots well with the weight of the gun and the size of the grips. This is a good AIWB Gun. One of my 442s got the Houge Tammers. They handle recoil of the lighter gun pretty good and it still fits some pants pockets but mostly gets AIWB carry. The other 442 and bobbed 37 got the Uncle Mike's Boot Grips. They are excellent for pocket carry. Shooting standard loads of 130gr. are not bad for a box or Two of practice. Sighting in +Ps and seeing their point of aim is not that bad. Here is a picture of my carry guns. The one 442 had wood grips at that time. I didn't like how the T grip fit my hand so it has Uncle Mike's Boots now.

Top left, originality. Top right, shootability. Bottom, it's all about the looks.
Is the bottom picture Altamont Rosewood?

I prefer the Uncle Mikes boot grip for my working J frames, which is most of them. When they were on clearance a couple of years ago I bought a bunch of them, still have one or two spare sets. A few of my J's still have their original Magna's on, but I don't shoot them as much.

Nice collection. If I ever get another J frame I might try the pachmyrs on it. I kind of really don't like the way they look. But they look like they'd feel right.
These two finger Badger boot grips are great for conceal carry but the three finger Pachmayr Diamond Pros are awesome at the range.

I am torn, wood won't print, but rubber would help you keep your gun in a close quarters scuffle. Both of those things could be an issue where snubbies tend to go.

Thanks for weighing in, but I was hoping to hear from someone who carried a gun.

Another vote for the Spegels. I recently got a call from Craig himself and found myself with a set of Bolivian Rosewood Boots he had lying about the shop. I stole them.
This is also my Model 36 that was worked over by the newly retired (on 5/5/17, after 41-years) Art Bellerose at the Factory.
Art was given "literary license" to do as he pleased to the piece. He opted for a Highway Patrolman blue. I burnished it slightly with a treatment of Flitz. He added my name to the sidplate.
For reasons I can't fathom, it shoots wonderfully. With my handload of the Matt's 157gr (sized .359") Lead Wadcutter at about 800 fps, it'll throw them into a tight cluster at 30-feet.
Great gun and grip combination.

One of the nicest snubs I have ever seen. I will match that statement with "one of the best targets shot at 30' I have ever seen fired from a snub.Another vote for the Spegels.
