Tremendous fit improvement - Pachmayr Compact Professional Gun Grips w/ Open Back Strap for S&W, J Frame

This product is intended for concealed carry L frame S&Ws, but I needed it to reach the trigger on my Model 69 Combat Magnum. I love everything about the .44 Combat Magnum, but the grips were just a bit too large. I have medium sized hands, and the fit is excellent. The factory grips had me pulling hard to the right, but the Pachmayr grips bring me right in line with my forearm. Understandable that S&W would supply an L frame .44 Mag with big cushy grips, but I only shoot .44 Special. The open back strap doesn't present a recoil problem for me. I appreciate the lack of finger grooves. The fit on the frame is very good. A bit of flash trimming was required, but I've come to expect this of rubber grips. No extra trimming is required to fit the speed loaders, and I've come to expect that, too.
