Gotcha. From my two photos, you can see the overall package is shorter with the Bantum grips than the Ergo because the Ergo's are somewhat long to get all three fingers on it.

Any other thin grip minimalistic J frame grip recommendations ???

You can go too thin. If concealment as well as a decent grip are concerns, it's hard to find anything better than standard factory wood stocks.

As mentioned the Barami Hip Grip is very thin. I've used one on a 2" 36. You can get them on EBay in black or white for as little as $10 new in package

What are the thinnest most minimalist J frame grip's available? Maybe a thin checkered aluminum??? Or wood if they can get that thin…

It seems to me that grip selection is always going involve some kind of compromise. I am guessing that your quest is to find the most concealable grip or stock is the question. I agree with rockquarry's assessment. I do have a set of the factory J-frame wood stocks, but I don't use them on my 38 & 357 J frame(s). They don't offer a certain amount of grip control as compared to Hogue's Rubberized Bantam Grip in my experience, albeit a compromise. I do have an extensive selection of j frames grips in my collection. But, it's Hogue's Bantam grip that surpasses them all. It's a bit of a shame that S&W no longer installing the Bantam's on the Airlite Ti models.

I digress. Lastly, I would give the S&W's wood stocks a try... and btw, they are of the old school design, not the modern wood grips.

Since you asked again...

You can try finding a very early set of J frame service stocks of the pre-war style (silver medallions), which are even thinner than Magna stocks.

You can also thin out J frame Magna stocks as mentioned in post # 11 above, but they won't wind up a lot less wide than the width of the stock screw.

Not sure I want to go smaller than the Boot - Type.

For the non DIY crowd (myself included), the Eagle Secret Service boot grips are pretty thin and nice looking...to boot.

Another vote for Eagle Secret Service grips or Uncle Mikes boot grips.

I have the Hogue wood bantam boot grips on one of my Js. They are pretty minimalist and concealable and look nice. However, if shooting magnums they do sting.
