My 642 is do to be released from the gun smith Friday and I've been looking everywhere for a set of "boot grips" that cover the back strap. All of the grips/stalks I've found or seen that fill in enough to properly position my hand are too bloody long. They double the overall size of the gun. I may not be looking in the right places or at the right makers so any suggestions would be appreciated.

You could also modify most any wood or polymer combat grip by chopping it to length.

Apparently there is no such thing available and you have to modify something else or alter an off brand. Curious gap in available products.
And where does one find the Taurus grip? I went to their web site and couldn't find it...but then I'm something of a Luddite.

Price will be about $15 after shipping.
FWIW, I got mine off Ebay for $10 shipped.

The "Boot rubber grip" is what I believe you're looking for.

Crimson trace LG 405.
I was coming to post this.
Yep. Actually made my 340 comfortable to shoot.
The 405's do have an interesting shape, that may not appeal to everyone. They are thin at the butt, but have somewhat hand filling palm swells that help lock your grip in. The sides are checkered, and offer some purchase without catching when pocket carried, but the real "grippyness" comes from the rubber on the front and back straps. The bit of cushion up high on the rear frame makes even +P loads seem not so bad, and also increases trigger reach ( making the grip seem longer front to back). I have heard of the rubber parts wearing out, but so far mine seems to be holding up to a fair amount of use over the last 2 years (gun is mostly a BUG, and occasional primary AIWB, shot several hundred rounds per year).
Certainly far more expensive than the Taurus grips, but worth trying if you feel like the laser is a worthwhile addition to a pocket J-frame.
