Model 63 upgrade, sorta

[S&W 63]

I found some J-frame targets for my 63 on ebay made in Malaysia. Good fit for (?)58 bucks.

I have large hands and found these Badger grips at Tulsa. They are a nice fit, pretty and work well for me. I don't care for rubber grips.

Herrett Shooting Star on my M63. Fits just right.

Here are my choices for my 63's grips.What do you think?

Edit is your friend, but if we are going to be picky there is no apostrophe in a plural…

If you're going to get picky, can an inanimate object like an "edit" function be your friend?

For rubber grips on J/K/L frames, I prefer the Uncle Mikes or Hogue Bantam over Pachs.

My son has a 63 since he was 14. He has Herrett Shooting Stars on it and they are great!!

It cracks me up how so many on this forum resist rubber grips.

A simple set of Pachmayr combats will transform that little guy at the range, and you can always switch back to your 1950s T-Grip when you get home.

It's hard to get past the looks.

Pretty and practical

As others have noted - The targets really transform the feel and function.

Our hands are different sizes and our tastes are different. I've had a 63 for many years. it came with the large target stocks. I quickly replaced those with Magnas. Looks better to me.

Here is another factory option that I favor. The combat J frame stocks. They came standard on my model 631 and I liked enough to buy more for other J frames.

Mine sports a set of Hogue Kingwood. Rubber is for tires.........or .500's!

New Range report

Well, I left the factory stocks on her and went to the range today. My goal was to sight it in at 7 yards with CCI MINIMAGS. I want to take my GF shooting for the first time in her life and I figured if I want her to go shooting a second time a 22 would be ideal. lol.
Using the SAT and almost 2 boxes of ammo I think I did well using double action. 6 rounds into each area.

I agree Rubbers are not the best looking and on a 22lr they are never really needed. However, once you leave the easy shooters behind they come into their own and are a lot more comfortable to shoot then the nicest wood.

Targets for me.

Or a magna-style plus a T-Grip. Both are good!

Above, I'm seeing a preponderance of rubber rubber gripes.

I found a mint set of factory J frame checkered target grips. I don't even have a J frame but for $30.00..... I couldn't resist. Besides, now I have a reason to buy another J frame .22!
