I carry my model 19 a lot and currently have the squeezed dog turd hogue grips. Looking for something less grippy on clothing and rounder on the butt. It's a square frame. I was considering the Jerry Miculek grips. Thin, wood, and round at the butt. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm a big fan of Badger Custom grips. I have them on 2 of my J frames and a K frame too. http://www.badgercustomgrips.com/custom-grips/smith-and-wesson.html?limit=30

I like the look of these Thailand grips on eBay, but don't have a pair. They're open on the back strap and most of the heel, to keep the profile as small as possible. Sort of a square-butt "Bantam" grip:

If you do a search on eBay they have this same style grip offered in some other woods.

For K/L frame carry, I like service (magna) grips, and a Tyler t-grip. The Uncle Mike's boot grip is a excellent choice as well, but your cover garment tends to ride up on it.

Gotta agree with hAkron, magna grips and a tyler (or similar) grip adapter.
A 1 7/8ths" 64-4, and a 4" 19-3 up top. I even went to far as to take a CONSIDERABLE amount of material off the 19-3's old factory magnas and crudely re-checkered it. It's quick in the hand, and I can always find my grip over the smaller, smoother more contoured modified version. Plus; ALOT of clearance for the speed loaders, and works as a decent thumb rest.
literally, 75% of my S&W's wear magna's and T grips.
It might be an Ohio thing though

That is probably among the most concealable options, and I rather like how the combo feels in my hands as well.
Another option I like are Ahrends tactical stocks, sans finger grooves in my case. They are very slender, and don't protrude much below the grip frame, so they conceal nearly as well as the service stocks.
th PC Magna's like in post number 10 with a Tyler T grip works great IMO.
The PC Magna's are the ones that are more rounded off at the bottom vs. the regular Magna's that are more squared off like in post number 5.
It's a subtle difference, but I do find they are less likely to print. I was told the PC stands for Plain Cloths... as in Plain Cloths detective.

Just to be a "picky S&W nut" S&W calls the grips in #5 & #10 magna grips.
They call these service grips.
Ok, I'll go crawl back under my rock!!!
Point taken
I always thought the terms were interchangeable. Thanks for the correction.In my defense, they do refer to them as service grips on the S&W website.

Another vote for Magnas and Tyler combo.
And before anyone says anything, the finish is not blotchy, that's the overhead tree reflected in the finish.

I wanted a similar set of grips, smaller and more comfortable to my hand, for my "N" frame. Grabbed a file and made these from a set of "K" frame target grips. Here is a shot comparing them to the "N" frame target grips.
Not real pretty but very comfortable.

Have you considered the stock wood grips?
hAkron,

Ok, point taken here too.
Let's put it this way. Us picky old S&W pharts calls them that way!!
There are magnas, high horned magnas, diamond magnas, non-diamond magnas, and PC/Modified magnas.
Don't get me started on Cokes, targets, football targets.......
