Show off your J-frames with aftermarket grips

[6pack]

Looking for some grip ideas for various J-frame aftermarket grips.


I'll soon be adding another one to the collection and am considering a different set of shoes for it.

Would enjoy seeing what you've done with yours.




Sure are handy little guns.


I have only the stock rubber grips on my Airweight.

Here's a few:

Model 60 with the old "Lightning" grips by Bianchi. Kinda heavy, but makes the 36s and 60s snag-free. I use this one in a shoulder holster when appropriate.

This 642 has a set of Hip-Grips, made by Barami. They enable very useful pocket carry.

This 649 also has Barami Hip-Grips, seen from the other side.

Here's a 640 with a set of Herrett's "Shooting Star" grips which were custom made to my hand pattern way back in the '60s. Easily the most comfortable and effective grips for a J-frame I've ever used - at the expense of a bit more bulk.

I find the Barami Hip-Grips to be the most useful and versatile grips for concealed carry. Here's another set on a 442:

This Model 317 has a set of Dymondwood boot grips that used to be offered as an option by S&W. They are no longer made, but they are very light and compact. I like this setup for ankle carry. You might be able to scare up a pair on eBay or at gun shows.

Hope these pics will give you some useful options.

Herrett's "Shooting Aces" are one of my favorates on my 640.

Here's a set of "no-name" gunshow stocks on my 60-4:

I cannot, visually, endure rubber grips on most of my handguns.

Boy, I'm gettin' a lot of mileage out of these pics. I know everyone has seen them before, but I just love this little gut buster. Bob

S&W model 40-1

All grips shown were made from Corian by yours truly

I can't really recomend the grips on the 642 as for over $100 I expected them to fit without a lot of trimming. I do like them for as long as they last.

The model 60 has Hogue grips on it and they are swell...
