Definately Upgrades the J frame
I purchased this for Smith & Wesson Model 640 j frame 357 magnum. The regular grips help little to mitigate recoil from the 357 in a small frame. These grips contour the frame and protect the web of the hand from magnum recoil. Installing is quick and easy. Comfortable to carry and shoot!
Perfect for shooting, large for carrying
For those who shoot their J-frame revolvers regularly, these grips are a great choice. They are a good bit larger than factory grips, and shaped well to fit most hands, and make shooting powerful +P loads as pleasant as possible. However, they do add significant bulk and weight to what is usually a small concealable handgun, so be aware that if you choose these grips, you are giving up a measure of concealability. Best used on a home-defense/nightstand handgun, or one that is carried in a belt holster, purse, or roomy coat pocket. Also a good choice for J-frame Kit Guns or plinkers.
