Not sure which to choose and I'm tired of researching it for hours.
Should I be able to go to a shop like the one on 16th St, off Shadeland that caters to law enforcement and seems to have a plethora of everything in accessories and find these choices?
I will choose between these 3 brands.
Hogue seems to have different grips for the J frame so it bothers me in getting the right one b/c some have mentioned fitment issues, so I assume they had the wrong one.
HOGUE Rubber GRIP 6000fits S&W J Frame Round Butt Rubber Monogrip
Hogue Monogrip Grips S&W J-Frame Round Butt Nylon Black
Hogue Tamer Grip for Centennial Bodyguard
One Hogue mentioned it was for a 442, another 642 another as mentioned above for the J frame and another for the Centennial Bodyguard.
They could all be the same one just with different descriptors as far as I can tell.
Note: there seems to be a choice for one labeled for the J frame and one for the 642 with subtle differences.
In reading dozens of reviews on each of these, many praise each one, but there will be those that say anyone of them is not sufficient.
Anyone have experience with these, hearing their friends complain or sing praises using with the 642 Airweight?
Pachmayr Diamond Pro S&W J Frame Revolver Grip:
Seems to have a better pinky grip than the Hogue
Ergo Grip S&W J-Frame Revolver Delta Grip:
I saw these and they are so much easier to put on, and seem to address the grip in a little different way also.
I like getting my middle finger away from the trigger guard's recoil, the way these are made.
Testimony that really got my attention: This grip stops the trigger guard of a S&W 442 from bruising the shooter's middle finger. Very comfortable and steady in your hand for a snubby. The gun still fits perfectly in my De Santis Super Fly pocket holster, too.
Less negatives on this Ergo than the others.
