Help me save my Model 36!

[Larry Ashcraft]

I bought this j-frame Ladysmith for my wife a while back:

Now she finds out she can't use it for CCW because the grips are too fat for her to shoot weak-handed. But, she was handling and dry firing my Chiefs Special last night and decided it would do just fine.

My choice is; either find some (pretty) slim grips for her Ladysmith, or give up my Model 36. And, no, it's not going to be a trade either, she gets to keep both.

Any ideas where I would get some pretty grips that are close to the standard Model 36 grips?

Hello, Larry!

Aim your browser at: http://www.badgercustomgrips.com and pull the trigger, eh? I have a set of Badgers on my pre-agreement model 60. They're not even a quarter of a skosh thicker than the factory rubber grips. They're made of plywood, so they're not easy on the eyes, but they're good for compact hands.

larry, see the inquiry above where I asked about grips. Couple of suggestions: one being CDNN who has a variety of wood and rubber with the rubber being as cheap as $4 a pair. I'm gonna get a 36 and would likd some wood like you have on the one pictured. If you want to sell those, PM me.

Take a look at these folks. I THINK thats Altamont grip company that has changed names, they were a supplier for S&W for several years. They make really decent little grips. Some are just like/are/were factory Smith grips. LOTS of choices.

Why not just swap grips between the two J-frames? (assuming both are round butt.)

Get some S&W smooth rosewood magnas and a Tyler t grip adapter

I'd be offering her those grips she likes and shopping for another set for the 36. I've got a nice model 60 that I really like (Missouri Highway Patrol 50 Year Commerative that was issued, and then traded in) but there's something about a 3" blue Chief's Special that is terribly intriguing to me.
