My 442 with a Lobo Gun Leather Enhanced Pancake Holster. The grips are Altamont. I also use the same 442 with a Crimson Trace laser grip.

Trail Boss does the Trick!

3.0 grns of Trail boss and 158grn and I can shoot all day. No longer need to find a recoil soaking set of grips.

Now to review all of your wonderfull pics of wood grips and find something I like. I happen to be partial to wood. Some beautiful grips here.....Thanks to everyone for contributing!

My favorites, smooth contoured cocobolo S&W's on a 34-1. Haven't seen this particular style in a long time, I think they proved to be "keepers" for anyone lucky enough to have bought them back in the day....

I've tried all sorts of rubber, oversize and other fancy grips. In the end, it came down to the most basic - My Js wear service stocks and grip adapters, which work best for me in pocket carry.

Want another one if I can find it???

Thanks Bob...but I ankle most of the time and they don't work for that....

See??? I can't even give that thing away!!!

S&W's stock 60 Pro grips are nice, if you like a larger grip and don't intend to pocket carry. They can be pricey - these grips, new as they were, cost me $651 OTD last January!

There are ways to buy 'just the grips', as I had previously found:

They are a great improvement over the stock grips. So were the square-conversion Hogues:

Of course, my grip selection is in opposition to the OP's request - they make a J-frame feel 'larger'. In my case, they make them more 'shootable'. My only other J-frame - a CCW (642) - kept it's OEM boots for CC.

I like the CT, LG-405s also......

The standard Uncle Mikes full size grip works great, but not as concealable. My choice for 357s in the 640. For concealability, the 640 wears Altamont boot grips and the 642 keeps the stock boot grips. See a good discussion on Stephen
Camp's Browning site: Getting a Grip
Anthing that covers the backstrap with rubber will make shooting less painful but less concealable. Wear big pockets.

Seasonally appropriate attire influences choice of weapon, BUT ALWAYS dress around the weapon you are carrying......

Here's a set from Karl Nill :

For shoot-ability paired with conceal-ability, I like the Crimson Trace LG-405 grips.

I just Googled those. One of my wife's weapons is a Mdl36 Chief. They sell them for her weapon. Prices run from 179.00 to 300.00 plus ( both new ).

My point is, my 6906 is one of the most popular of the 3rd gens. Whats the deal, her 36 vs my 6906, and no lasers anywhere for mine...don't make much sense to me.

There are a whole lot more J-frames out there than 3rd Gen double stack compacts - i.e. the 3913's chubby little brother
