Lightning grips

I have a set for K/L frames.

They are boat anchor heavy.

[Hmm, just had the idea of trying my Lightning grips on my too light 386PD, which is waiting for Cylinder & Slide to install a SS cylinder to bring the weight up.]

Just for comparison, photos below of the Lightning grips, Colt adapter and a S&W hump back. Unfortunately, I can’t find a decent photo of my 638, but the photo of the hammer and shroud shoul do for the topic of thi thread.

Here's a pair on my August '58 Chiefs Special Airweight, not stamped MOD-37.

Red: do you remember the year Pachmayr began making them for Bianchi?

In search of a pair of J frame Bianchi 'Lightning' bodyguard style grips

Yes. I'm resurrecting a Zombie thread. But, this seems like the place to post my inquiry.

I'm in search of a pair of Bianchi 'Lightning' bodyguard style grips for a Smith & Wesson 'J' frame revolver. (See pics below.) Already have them for two 1980s 'K' frames. So, for better grip and recoil control, I'd like to add a pair to my Model 60.

Many thanks!
