Smith and Wesson 36-1 3” J frame. Finally got another one! The quest for the perfect grips part 1
This video showcases a newly acquired Smith & Wesson 36-1 with a 3-inch barrel. The owner discusses their preference for square butt frames or longer grips for better symmetry and feel, particularly with finger grooves. The video features a comparison of various aftermarket grips, including factory, Uncle Mike's boot grips, Pachmayr "The Gripper", vintage Jay Scott wood round-to-square conversion grips, and Safariland combat grips. The reviewer expresses surprise that the hard plastic Safariland grips offer the best combination of aesthetics and feel for concealed carry and are acceptable for target practice. The Pachmayr "The Gripper" are noted as best for target shooting due to their size and softness. The reviewer also mentions Hogue and other Pachmayr models as good for target shooting but potentially too bulky for concealed carry, and expresses interest in trying grips from a Model 60 despite their higher cost.
