New Pachmyer Grips

[Chrisj CMA]

OK another gun related thread.  I really like my alternate carry gun, the Airweight J-Frame .38  

What I didn't like was the tiny grip.  So I had a slightly larger wooden grip mounted for a year or so.  It was great for shooting but not so great for concealed carry.

Then I noticed this new contraption from Pachmyer.  An extendable grip.  The button is in the perfect place so you don't have to think about it.  As soon as you take a grip the button is activated and the grip is ready.  It affords the same extra room as my wooden ones (just enough for the pinky) but retracted its a standard Airweight size.

That's not bad.

I too have been torn between good grip and good concealment on my J frames (one of which is a rare square butt, a better but bigger handle)

Now I run a crimson trace laser grip (the small one) on my carry J frame (round butt).  To me, the tiny gun and short bbl of the Jframe is the best place for a laser grip there is.  At night when most bad mojo goes down, the sights (only marginal in daylight) are invisible and useless.  Pinpointing your target, at night, is optimal for your legal well being (not hitting something or someone else by accident).  

The rubber Crimson Trace small grip is more likely to hang up on clothes or a pocket than smooth wood, but the addition of a laser sight for night time use is worth the drawback.

My 360 has a hammer, otherwise, same deal. I have small hands, but yep the pinky is still underneath.

I've owned two J frames( both hammerless) Beautiful little guns.

I now have an LCR in 9mm.  I find the double action pull to be very good on the LCR and the full moon clips are easy to load since I'm left handed.  I don't particularly like the rubber grips but I'll keep them. After some time on the range, I didn't find any rounds that backed out the bullets as some have said.

The recoil seems much stouter on the LCR 9 using 124 grain, Not plus P..  No problem but it's not as pleasant to shoot as the J frames were. Stings my trigger finger.
