Show off your J-frames with aftermarket grips

[bananaman]

I bought some J frame grips at a gun show for my son's 36 (RB). Said he did not want them. For some reason thought these were popular. I don't own any J's. Bob

This is my 36 with Sambar Stags. Saw it in the LGS and figured they were plastic. Made a deal for the 36 for $300. Got it home and realized they were Sambar. Looked up the grips on line and found that they are worth almost what I paid for the whole thing.

My 640 with Altamonts. I tried a lot of grips before I found these to work for me. They’re actually more comfortable when shooting magnum loads than Goodyear’s.

Altamonts. Might get a set of their round to square grips also. Make it look like a baby L frame.

The grips on these two are aftermarket, but are S&W sourced grips.





Hideous junk on a Baby Chief, since replaced with period correct magna grips.

I have a 637-2 2" which has factory S&W branded Crimson Trace grips. They work well, even taming the occasional +P's. Bought a 60-15 .357 3" with the sharp factory wood grips. Put a set of regular Crimson Trace on it, found +P's are ok, and .357 still is a bit too much, but it is a "light" gun.

Double-action on both is so smooth. The 60-15 is my "bedroom" gun, just waiting, forever, I hope. The 637-2 is my "if I need to carry" piece, easy to holster or pocket, depending on the situation, even with the exposed hammer.

These Pachmayr Compac Professionals are a new favorite. Here's a set on a Model 42-2. Had to do a little trimming and sanding to make the grips fit the lemon squeezer.

These G Mascus grips are by Hogue, made with G10 Blue Lava.
I always liked the Spegel designed boots by Uncle Mike that came
on the 642-1, but they were just a wee bit "clingy". These are not.
BTW the knife is by Piranha and the holster by Chic Gaylord.

I've also got the Altamont grips. Big improvement.

I realize that this is an older thread, but for my Model 49 Steel Bodyguard pocket snubby I would like some opinions as to whether I should go with Compac Pros or Altamont Falconias?

My two concerns are best pocket concealment and best comfort with heavy +P loads. I went with the Standard Service stocks with a Tyler T-grip for years but those do really bash my girly-hand after about 20 stout fast double-action shots. I am looking for a bit more comfort because I'm not planning on using weinie ammo for practice or carry.

Maybe start a new thread with the question.

Why shoot it so much? Not a target piece. I shoot my J frames about one or two cylinders a year for a function test and never more than 7 yards.

This 640-3 did have the Uncle Mikes Spegel Grips but I've changed them out with some Hogues for more comfort. (We don't have CCW here in Australia so it's not like I need to stick with shorter Grips for pocket carry).

Mat,

How much do you shoot it?
