Rubber grip preference; J frame RB

[John Patrick]

If you are going to be shooting with 357 ammo, I think the best best combination of features are found in the factory grips on my 60-10, which look like the current factory grips on the 60 and 640.

Not as thick or as sticky as Hogues and I think shorter too.

Uncle Mikes. New Factory S&W stocks are a copy of them.

I'm a HUGE fan of Uncle Mike's rubber grips. I need to find 2 more sets for my 649 and 60-7.

I think that the old stock Uncle Mike's boot grips are perfect. That said, I often put the Hogue Bantam grips on scandium frame snubs. The Hogues feel a bit lighter. Coming in third, is the Pachmayr Compac. It has the open backstrap and extends just a few millimeters beyond the grip frame. Here's a pic of the Pachmayr on a Model 42:

Can I see the angle in the picture please?

For rubber I like the uncle mikes that Frailer posted.
Uncle Mike's #59010

I like the factory grips as shown above when using a synthetic "rubber" material.

I like the stock two finger "synthetic" as shown in jaymoore's photo. They came on my 442. They fit my hand perfectly with the pinky wrapping underneath. The gun/hand/arm alignment is perfect, like pointing my finger. I put those grips on my model 36 and 317 too. The material doesn't grab your shirt to interfere with a draw or cause printing under a vest, jacket etc.

I like a lot the Bianchi Lighting grips that shroud the hammer and just feel perfect for my hands. They are a little larger than "boot" grips but because of the small J frame are not too much more difficult to conceal. The feel when shooting makes up for the slightly longer length.
