J-frame Manifesto/ How I set up my J-frames

[jh9]

a set of crimson trace laser grips. This is, in the words of LAV, a no brainer fro the J-frame..

Just curious if you shoot thumbs forward, and if so whether you've tried it weak handed with those grips.

I had a set of LG-308s I put on a 686 that were the bees knees until I tried a magnum round with them. The laser assembly housing-- with the same thumbs forward grip I've used for tens of thousands of rounds left handed-- goes straight into the tenderest part of the knuckle. No bueno.

Not necessarily a fault of the grips themselves I suppose, but something everyone should try once just to see how it affects them. Especially if not putting in a lot of weak handed reps. (for rightys - southpaws will figure out whether it's go/nogo PDQ)
