    Excellent video, I have several J frames, my favorite grip are the original S&W combat grips, they were standard on the 3" Lady Smith Model 64, If you can find them I highly recommend them.

    Indeed, my Dad's Model 60 purchased in 1996 came with the Uncle Mikes from the factory. Now that I have inherited his revolver, I was looking for grip options, but it looks like I will be keeping the originals on for a while! Very thorough and helpful video Cranky, thank you.

    I carry the same gun model 36 3inch pined heavy barrel. Mine is a square butt and I’ve got pachmyr compact grips on it. It’s got a little finger extension at the bottom allowing for the right amount of purchase. You have a lot of nice grips though and nice video by the way.

    My 60-15, 3”, CAME with that Uncle Mikes grip. It felt perfect to me, right out of the box. I think it’s a perfect grip to carry with, and that’s exactly what I carry with 75% of the time. Once in a while I need to go really light and I end up with my Ruger LCP.

    I have an old set of Herritts Shooting Ace grips w/a Tyler T on my J Frame. I sanded down the bottom for better pocket fit as well as sanding the top of left side for better speedloader fit. Works perfectly on both my 442 Pro & 340PD, and is pretty comfortable for a 100 round range session.

    @GunSam 2 года назад +1

    I'm such a Hogue fanboy lol. What's weird about grips is you never know until you shoot them. Those fat LCR grips feel so wrong in the hand, then I shoot the gun and it shoots better than any other small gun. Just like exposed backstraps, like no way this will be comfortable, but in the end a lot of less felt recoil than the padded grips. There's just so much biomechanics involved depending on the specific person.

Softer rubber than the Hogue and wider more open finger grooves than the Hogue which pinched my finger plus the Pachmary has a better palm swell feel and trigger finger alignment. It makes it a smooth squeeze with less barrel movement on the trigger pull.
