I took S&W J-frame Combat Grip and cut off the lower part. That made it the best "boot" grip ever - two-fingered, well-rounded, closed backstrap, not too bulky.
Other than the standard grips that came with my 642, I have a set of CT 405s on it now. The M&P 340 I ordered with CT 405s. They offer more recoil absorption than the standard 642/442 grips.
I like the Hogue Monogrips. Worth giving them a try since they are priced right.
As mentioned they are "grippy" and a full hand full, (no pinkie under) which is why I like them.
For deep pockets in a carry holster I don't find they show. For no show I go back to the CTs on the 642.
I have removed my Crimson Tracer LG-105 grips off my S&W 642 and have returned to the stock Uncle Mike's Boot grips. I've decided that the laser is ok for training...but the boot grips are more comfortable and, to be honest, I'm tired of looking for POA...laser...target match-up. I've finally come to the conclusion that the 642 is not a "target" revovler...it is just a close-up, last resort weapon of choice. It works fine out to 15 feet just the way it is. Now, I've decided to get the Ruger SP101 for OWB .357 usage. It is stout...hell, I use to think the Ruger Speed Six was stout! The below Trausch grips are really excellent in muzzle flip/recoil control on a J frame (all steel) .357 mag. They might not be as pretty as the woodies...T-grips...etc. They do work well! I borrowed a photo (not my weapon) off the Ruger Site for presentation purposes only. Trausch is going to make them for the GP100 shortly. I recommend you get a set now...they are the "It" grips...and this time next year, will be far more expensive as more people "in the know" test, use and immediatly buy them.
