Good post! Do the Hogue Tamer grips make it any more difficult to conceal?
I'm thinking of getting a set for my 442.
I enjoyed the read.
Objectively with the small semi-autos out there, revolvers make less and less sense.
That being said, so long as you know their limitations, they still serve a purpose.

I have a set of Hogue 2-finger grips on my 360J and I love 'em...but I have smaller hands and often just throw the 360J in a pocket for a quick run out and like the size of the 2-finger grip because it just fits better in a pocket!
I love my S&W J-Frame .38 special!

Have those grips on my 442 & 637. They add a little bulk, but is more than a trade off in how each shoot for me...the wife too.Good post! Do the Hogue Tamer grips make it any more difficult to conceal?

I'm not sure if I ordered a two finger grip or not. I'm guessing it would be considered a 3 finger grip. I'll see how I like them. I'm sure I'll like the feel as I had Hogue grips on all the revolvers I have owned. It will be the concealability factor this time.

I believe you're getting the 3-finger grips which, when carried in a holster, is actually my preference,
I only got the 2-fingered grips because it usually goes in the pocket of a jacket or vest.
I agree. I won't argue that they're obsolete, but besides being able to shoot from inside a coat pocket, I can't think of much a snub revolver can do that my CM9 can't do better--for me. I checked. I rented a S&W 638 and shot it side by side my CM9 (I like revolvers and was hoping for a good reason to buy a snubby). As for "entangled engagements", unless you're 110lbs or disabled, I would imagine a good knife might be more effective than either type of handgun.I enjoyed the read.

I’m one of those that knows their limitations but I much more prefer a revolver in my pocket. I grew up cowboy action shooting with my dad so it’s what I got used to. I tried carrying semi-autos, shooting then more, and overall tried to switch over to having more rounds but I found I always preferred to carry my 642 in my pocket.I enjoyed the read.
