S&W J Frame grip question

[WWGunslinger]

I have a S&W Model 36-7 J Frame revolver. The grips on it now are like the ones here: http://dynamicarmament.com/images/sm...SW161490FC.jpg

They're ok but my 3rd finger barely fits on the grip and my "pinky" finger doesn't even fit at all and i kind of just tuck it underneath the grips.

I bought a set of grips like these: http://www.snubnose.info/images/Model_36_flat_latch.jpg

I like that I can get a higher hold on these (my middle finger is right up against the frame and behind the trigger guard) but the grips themselves are too skinny and I don't get a comfortable grip on them, like they need more front to back thickness.

I also have a Hogue rubber grip which is really nice feeling, but is too large for CC.

Does anyone make a grip similar to the 1st grips listed that has some girth to it, but also allows me to get a higher grip like the 2nd grips? That seems like it would be perfect for me.

i have pachmayr grips on mine, with finger cut outs, and pinky fits on there. I'll go look at the box and get a pic for ya in a few minutes

the problem is that they look huge. I am looking for grips for concealed carry. If it wasn't for that, I would just use the Hogues, which are very much like the rubber Pachmayer's you have there.

What Hogue do you have? I ask because Hogue makes two different rubber grips. I have the Hogue Ultra Compact Bantam. I cant see how you would say the Bantam is too large for CC because its about the shortest most compact rubber grip made. Matter of fact I removed a S&W rubber grip (very similar to the Pachmyer)and installed the Hogue because the S&W was a bit longer than I wanted (the S&W grip is for sale in the classifieds). I dont think you will get your pinky on the Bantam though.
If you like the thin wood grips but just want more meat on them, you could look at a Tyler T grip.

I have the Hogue Monogrip.

I've looked at the T Grips before but they would just pose the same issue I have with the original grips, I can't get my hand up high enough.

The monogrip is a long grip (similar to the Pachmyer above). I would suggest the Bantam because it is quite a bit shorter. I find it very comfortable but theres certainly no room for the pinky and it wont allow a high grip position.

and the higher grip position is what I am looking for. I can't seem to find any grips that allow that except for those slim factory style grips.

Remove the area that is circled and I think it would be what I am looking for.

Pachmyrs. (I think they're called the Compac model... Maybe.)



And Houge Bantam lightweight monogrip;



Edit; Ohhhhh, I see... Derrr.

Maybe try cutting up a cheap set of rubber Hogues.

Gunslinger:

I have what might just work for you:




The color is realistic in bright light, but the grips appear more like black when the light is dimmer.

Fitted to a Model 60:



In my hand; with my little finger on the grip's "pinkie perch:"



Pinkie unfolded to show the "perch:"



They are Badger laminated micarta "Oversize Finger Groove" J-Frame combat grips. Regularly $79 plus shipping at this site:

or directly from Badger:

The grips have more of a fill than you are looking for, but the pinkie perch makes up for it and provides a MUCH more stable grasp of a J-Frame than a two-finger boot-style grip. I have these in brown/tan on two of my remaining J-Frames, and the Model 60 pictured normally wears CT laser grips. I replaced the CT set with the Badgers so that you would have an idea of what they looked like installed.

This grip set is NEW, never been on a revolver for carry. I have too many grips and not enough J-Frame revolvers, and I'll sell you these for $48 shipped. PM me if interested.
