S&W 640 grips?

[toledo]

Can anyone tell me if the extended (three finger) rubber grips that come factory on the 640 centennial will fit other J frame Smiths? If so where can I find them and how much? Thanks!

Yes, they will. I believe those grips are made by UM / Uncle Mike--so you might try googling for them that way.

A similar / better 3-finger grip (IMO) is the Hogue version--those are readily available, typically under $20.00.

Thanks. For future reference I found them on S&W site.

I think the factory ones are a little more slim and should work better for my wife.

toledo,
The grips you linked to are the newer grips S&W now uses, not the older Uncle Mike's grips. The grips currently on the S&W site are nowhere near as good as the Uncle Mike's grips... (just so you know what you're buying)

Thanks AA! Can you tell me where to find the Uncle Mikes? I cant seem to find to find them. Whats the diff?

The difference is the rubber and the Uncle Mike's are slightly thicker which is better for a good grip. I DO NOT like the new grips. They feel very cheap and they are too smooth for good purchase.

Here is the link to the Uncle Mike's boot grips and the new S&W boot grips so you can see the difference. It's the same difference with the combat grips. As for where to find them, sorry I can't help. The only place I knew they "were" was on the S&W site.

If you are willing to buy wood grips I can highly recommend Badger Custom grips. Look at the full size J frame grips on that page, not the boot grips. I have them on my M640 and they are GREAT!!

They fit any round butt J-frame.
