Grips/stocks for S&W model 64

[MonkTx]

Good afternoon all. I have an old police trade in model 64 that I'd like to dress up a bit. It has some plain black Hogue grips on it currently that I don't care for. I've been looking at Altamont conversion target grips(it's a round butt).

I know this is very subjective but can any of you give me some feedback on the Roper style vs what they call "Coke bottle" target grips (or other grips you'd recommend)?

Bonus points for pictures!

Thanks, monktx

For a Model 64 I'd prefer something a little more compact than the Roper/Coke bottle
styles. Here's two I saw on the Altamont site:


I'm also partial to the Magna style grips with a Tyler T type grip adapter.

An example of the Magna style grips I mentioned in my first posting:


Since the 64 is a .38, you don't need a whole lot of lumber to hang onto.

I should have mentioned that I prefer a large grip although the magna grips in your first post have me rethinking things. I do like the way those look, they are certainly a step up from what I have now.

I like the Altamont conversion grips on my model 19. Works well with large hands. No problem with Buffalo Bore 158 grain mag's.

I have a 64/65 blend and have rubber grips on it.

This 586 I modified into a round butt and cut down some targets to fit. LOVED THIS

I do perfer magnas on a 64. Faux ivory might not be bad?

Think about a faux ivory BK adapter on the original Magna grips; they feel good, and have a great vintage look.

I've got a set of round to square, Altamont "Ropers" that I've never been able to warm up too, but I just put them on my 686 and they don't look or feel too bad. I guess I'll give them a try next time out to the range.

I put some aftermarket magna-style grips on my sorta-rough Model 64-3.



Most of my other K frames wear the Thai fingergroove grips.



Both of these were purchased off of Amazon.

Stay safe.

Another Thai grip fan, on my Mdl. 65.

I don't have a photo because of where I am, but I really like the Magnas on my K frames with BK grip adapter. They fill the hand nicely but are small.

I liked the Magana grips on my Models 64 and 67 but for shooting the Pach's grippers felt and worked best

Rio those targets look like factory late model classic 19 Altamonts. Diamonds are the giveaway… concour? Looks great

These factory Target grips have been a favorite of mine:

They are the modern reproduction grips, good eye!

I just cant recall what gun they came off of

Stay safe.
