These grips customize really well

If you don't mind a little work, these grips are great. They stipple well, and reshape easily. I usually fit grips to my liking, so that is a non-issue. For the money, you can't beat them... and I have them on a few of my J-frames. BTW, I have J-frames ranging from early production to recent. There are small variations in grip frames, so it's good to have a little extra material.

Perfect

Yes, sand a bit here and there for a perfect fit - 2-3 minutes. Speedloaders? The small safariland ones work grest, the larger HKS don't. The safariland speedloaders are way better anyway. Grip texture is perfect, grippy but not abrasive. Best grips for the money you can get for a j-frame. If you're feeling froggy get the VZ boot grips for x3 the price, but these grips are great.

Ugly but they work well

Personally, I think these grips look awful. However, they are great to carry - no checkering to chafe, fit well to at least two different K frames and have an effective grip shape. My fingers are short and the grip still allows decent trigger pull with fill behind the trigger guard. They also improve overall control for me over S&W panels but are less hand filling than Pacmayr or Hogue rubber grips. I also like them more than G10 composite grips I have tried. At the price point, I figured they were worth a try. Unfortunately, they are the best concealed carry grips I have found. They will not win a beauty contest, but form over function.

Feels great and doesn't snag on clothing

I have large hands and I can get a full grip with these on my K-frame without my pinky finger hanging off. ...and they're not grippy rubber that pulls on my clothes when holstered or in a IWB or Pancake holster. I'm convinced that people who buy sticky rubber grips don't carry there guns for a living.

Best grips available for the $

I rated these a 5 star not because they are the best grips available, but because they are the best grips available for under $50+. I have 2-3 different sets for my S&W J-frames and love them all. When they came they needed a little attention, but some sand paper and oil took care of that. Still well worth it.
