FACTORY SMITH & WESSON J FRAME TARGET GRIPS Round & Square Butt Grips S&W
Compatibility and Fit
These grips fit all Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers with round or square butt frames, including popular models such as 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 49, 63, 642, 442, 638, 637, 60, 640, and 649
The round butt grips fit revolvers where the grip frame bottom is curved, while square butt grips fit frames with a flatter, more angular rear profile
Factory target grips, like JT15 or JT25, can convert a round butt revolver to a square butt configuration, increasing hand contact and stability without permanent modification
Materials and Construction
Factory J-Frame target grips are commonly made from wood, including Goncalo Alves or Dymondwood, often featuring striped grain or checkering for enhanced control
Some grips include silver washers and S&W medallions for both aesthetic and functional purposes
Additional options include rubber, synthetic G10, or reinforced polymer for comfort, moisture traction, and durability
Design Features
Checkered or smooth surfaces: Checkering improves grip and recoil management, while smooth presentation grips offer classic aesthetics
Conversion capability: Certain factory grips can overlay the backstrap area to simulate a square butt profile on original round butt frames, enhancing hold and stability
Finger grooves or extended designs: Some grips incorporate finger grooves for consistent hand placement and full-size/extended panels for range comfort
Boot and classic panel styles: Boot grips reduce printing for concealed carry, while classic panels preserve traditional aesthetics and fit
Historical Context
Factory target grips such as JT15 and JT25 date to the mid-1970s, often supplied with silver washers and original medallions
The J-Frame revolvers originally came with round butt frames; square butt frames were introduced later for improved handling
Installation and Notes
Installation is generally straightforward with screws provided, although some grips may require minor fitting by a gunsmith to ensure tight alignment
Grips improve practical handling and recoil control, but do not alter mechanical accuracy
When purchasing online, verify your revolver model and butt style to ensure fit and compatibility
