Gary Dodd from United States, IN Public Profile

My S/W Airweight 642 .38 special, 1.87 inch barrel was a beast to shoot with the OEM grips: I hated it, but it was functional as a pocket carry: light, and small. I was going to buy one of the two popular grips for it, but was afraid of the profile of the handle in my pocket. The Ergo Delta grips only increased the profile only a little in my DeSanti Superfly sticky pocket holster with the extra flap to cover the handle profile.
In shooting, it did exactly what was promised: tamed the "brutality" of the recoil. I was quite satisfied. I might try getting the Ergo Delta grips for a Ruger LCRx .38 special, 3 inch barrel, 5 shot with great grips on it OEM that are a popular other grip that is what I was going to buy for my 642. This would reduce the pocket profile maybe enough to carry as well. I doubt if it would help with recoil b/c the OEM grips are not the standard S/W style.
