Need J RD Fan for Grip Tester

Hello,

Please include me in your selection process, currently I use a 640, 342, 442 in .38 Spc. and a 432 in .32 H&R Mag.

The un notched 1b Boot grip would be first choice (pocket or ankle carry).

The full Combat 2b also looks very interesting, as I also use belt and IWB holsters mostly with the 640.

BTW, I also could test on a 38-2.

Even if I don't make the cut, I would love to see the test results.

I am a long time snub nose carrier. Mine is either a 49 or 649. The grips looks outstanding and I will give you honest feedback. I have used combat grips but never boot grips. Send me whichever you prefer, if I don't make the cut please post the results. I will try them and the range so I can provide full details. Thanks very much for the kind offer.

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone, for your responses and interest! We truly appreciate it! It looks like we have a great selection of models here. John and I will review in the next few days and PM those we select. I will put a note here as well to let people know that we selected. Thank you very much! :) :) :)
 
If you still need someone for honest feedbacck I would be happy to test both the notched and un-notched.
I can put the notched on a Mod 60 (no dash), 431PD, 36 (no dash).
I can put the un-notched on a 432PD, 640, and 940
 
Call or send a set to Teddy Jacobson Actions by T he will tell it like it is LOL. Teddy told me the other day he was working on many J fames right now and was very disappointed with many of the wood boot grips. Eagle secret service was one that he does not feel they fit right but he said is very good size for pocket carry. He went on to say G10 is nice but to heavy. Give him a call since his health is some what ok he is back to work and well telling like it is but that's what I love about him. Good Luck with your new grips they look very NICE.
 
Well, drat! That'll teach me to be away for a few days.

Happy to see you're ready for range tests with your J-frame grips. I'd love to do comparisons with several of my favorites.

Centennial models with Karl Nill, Craig Spegel and Hogue grips.

Exposed hammer models with S&W Combats and Altamonts.

I'm thinking un-notched boot grips for a model 38 Airweight humpback. I'm actually not sure if the notch is required or not for this model. However ,I would be happy to try out whichever set you think would work best. I'm currently running the factory RB magnas. Thank you for your consideration.
 
I have a M&P 340 that I carry daily and shoot a few times a month. I put the Ahrends boot grip on when new. That grip fits the frame perfect and is great feeling. It will be hard to beat, but I would be willing to compare. The review would be unbiased and I have plenty of friends that would be more than willing to offer input.
 
I'm guessing you have more than enough testers already, but just incase.... I'd like to try the un-notched boot on my 642. It would also work on my 640. If by any chance you have enough hammerless testers and need a hammer guy, I could try then un-notched boot grip on my 360J. Thanks
 
This is going to take me a bit to sort through and I have been short on time. I should be contacting people next week. I only have 4 grips right now but hopefully will have a few more in a couple weeks.

Thank you!

We sent out 10 tester grips to 7 people. Some people got two grips if they were an active firearm instructor or FFL dealer with several different models to test. The J grip has been the most difficult to design because there is a lot of fame size variance in the various models. We appreciate everyone's interest in being a tester!
 
I'm always interested in new designs for the Centennials (no notch). Please keep us posted on the progress.

p.s. Consider offering some form of checkering as smooth grips rarely provide enough "grip" for the small, high recoiling guns.
