We are very limited in local area gun/sport shops that carry revolver replacement grips and I hate to order and return numerous grips trying to find acceptable ones. My hands are not big, but, I do wear L to XL shooting gloves and the factory grips are simply too short/small.

I had removed the Pachmayr grips before sending it to them, so, when the new gun arrived, I went to install them on it. They informed me it was not repairable and sent me a new 638 to replace it. Frame surrounding and holding the barrel split. Sadly, the little 38 gave it up after an untold number of rounds. I carried an older Model 38 “J” Frame for many years for my daily backup and off duty primary with the last ten or so wearing a pair of Pachmayr grips with finger grooves and loved it. Liked it?

As soon as my 686 has undergone its round-butt conversion process, a matching set of K/L-Frame Tactical Diamonds in Predator Green will be adorning it, too. I’ve carried with these grips for about eight months now and they have found a permanent home on my 640 Pro. At $75/set they aren’t the least expensive grips I’ve ever used, but they are absolutely top notch. The come in a variety of colors (including basic black) and offer excellent purchase. If you’re looking for a set of rugged, good-looking stocks for your J-Frame, you could do a lot worse than the VZ Grips Tactical Diamonds. If these are going on your carry gun, take the time to pry them off and clean under the occasionally. If you’re outfitting your safe-queen – or even a regular range toy for that matter – this shouldn’t be an issue. This underscores the point that stainless still is “rust resistant”, not rust-proof. Sweat had found its way between the grip and the frame and, left unchecked the steel had begun to oxidize. Much to my chagrin, when I finally did remove them I found some rust. This made me a little bit lazy with taking them off and cleaning the frame occasionally. Because of their tight fit on the frame, they are hard to get off. This point isn’t really fair because it’s not even the fault of the grips. There is one thing I don’t like about these grips. I don’t consider their thickness to be a problem at all, since at their widest they are still no wider than the cylinder. The VZs offered a sensation of being much more filling in the hand. I didn’t realize how much I liked this until I picked up a Model 60 with factory rubber grips. They are slightly thicker than factory S&W J-Frame stocks. Length aside, there is another factor I like about the Tactical Diamonds. Though they are of the “bantam” style, terminating at the end of the frame, I find these grips adequate in length, at least for my small-ish hands. These G-10 stocks are almost a press-fit onto the gun’s frame they are very tightly manufactured.

The VZ panels have very sharp (presumably “tactical”) diamonds that give good purchase, but are not overly rough on the skin or clothing when the gun is holstered.

I chose the throw a pair of their Tactical Diamonds in Predator Green on my S&W 640 Pro Series. For the last several months I have been running a set of VZ Grips’ panels on my S&W 640 Pro Series. In searching for the ideal grips (that is, grips that are good for both carry and shooting) I have tried a lot of them. Grips that are too small, too big, or too slick, or too rough can lead to poor shooting performance. This difference may be cosmetic, or it may impact how the gun feels, points, and how well the shooter can handle its recoil. For my daily-carry 640 Pro, I was just going for the sheer practicality of a grip that offered reasonable purchase without making the gun too large. Because it doesn’t store ammunition in the grip, stocks for the average revolver come in a broad array of sizes, shapes, and functions, including stocks with lasers, or that can be used as a holster substitute. Replacement stocks are on one of the most common modifications made to revolvers.
