Recommendation for Concealable Grip for K Frame RB

[bowzette]

Wooden boot grip style or otherwise highly concealable but "fat". By this I mean good size palm swell(s) and significant amount of wood in the front of the grip. My hands aren't large but I like a handful of grip without the grip printing badly under a shirt. I've looked at the Ahern, Spegel, Altamont, Eagle SS, Esmeralda (not sure if she makes grips for K frame) web sites. Hard to determine if any make grips as I described.

From what you describe, the Ahrends Tactical may do.
Has the requisite "fat" feel and most important an exposed backstrap.

I've always been a fan of Hogue grips..they fit my hand quite well and have a good range of choices in wood, checkering,finger grooves and style.

Factory K frame RB Targets may be what you seek.

I had Spegel boot grips on a couple of 4" N frame Mountain Guns at one time. They concealed well.

Craig Spegel's Boot grips work great for me...........

I use Spegel boot grips..... but Hogue Bantams grips are the thickest........and I'd bet easier to get these days......

L 3 inch K 2.5 and J 1.9 inch

Altamont balances well with a 3 inch full lug




Grasshorns work for me on the K and J
Be sure of holster compatibility. The thumb break on the trigger guard can be an issue on hammer-less.

Altamont boot grips. Lots of "meat" for a good grip. Very concealable. If you want a little extra purchase, get them in checkered form.

No reason for me to post any pictures, because the ones on Altamont's web site are better than I could provide.

Badger makes great grips. I've had several sets for L & N frames. Never had a set of their boot grips though.

Any way you can show us a picture?

Here are the Badgers on my 66-2 (I'm pretty sure they're Badgers).



Here is the same 66-2 wearing Ahrends tactical combats. I prefer these.

This is great information in case I want to change stocks on any of my 2" K frames - I don't even think about concealing a 4" K frame. YMMV and for many I know that it does.

I have one question:

most important an exposed backstrap

Why is the exposed backstrap "most important"? I have no issue with grips that cover a backstrap. What's the deal?

 

[bowzette]

Thanks all for the responses. Too bad I can't wrap my mitts around the different flavors

Anyone knows who makes this for S&W?

I've tried several different grips on my 66-1 but finally ended up with factory RB targets. Still concealable and comfortable for my big hands.

If it doesn't have to be wood then try these out: PRECISION GUN SPECIALTIES - S&W HIDEOUT REVOLVER GRIPS. Have these on a 2.5 inch 66. Also have Ahrend finger less boot grips on a 2.5 19. both fit and feel great. Former is the the cheapest one, later is the better looking one.
