These two gentlemen would be VERY good choices. So would Craig Douglas. His ECQC course would provide a very good lesson for those carrying a short barreled revolver.

These new Hogue Tamer grips are only designed for Centennial-style J-Frames. They do not fit Bodyguards. I have these on my 640's, 642 and 442. They are cushioned where it counts to absorb recoil. The plastic plug at the bottom serves two purposes, to take the grip on and off and to provide a non-snag surface for pocket draw.

For shooting and concealability the CTC 405 grips can't be beat.

Excuse the lint, but it's usually covered in it.
I can shoot roughly fist sized groups at 20 yards, a couple inches at 15, tight clusters at seven, and can keep 'em in a pie plate sized group as fast as I can pull the trigger.
As for trigger control, that takes practice and technique. It helps to have much of your control in the off hand, as that reduces the side to side movement as the trigger is pulled.
I can just about shoot my little J as well as anything I've got...it just sees a fraction of the round count.

H2H, You have some good suggestions here. If they do not work for you, you can always get a Ruger LCR which is much easier to shoot. I made the switch and never looked back. I still love other S&W revolvers just not J frame triggers.
Practicing with a revolver, especially a snub, can improve your targets with striker fired semi's. I wasn't too happy with my 9mm Shield, and then took my 940 out for a workout and my grouping with my Shield improved considerably. Too much shooting with only a single action (1911) can affect your revolver shooting.
