Mine are all square butt.
Lost River, those grips look really good, I assume that is similar to Jordan Troopers without the back strap covered. I definitely prefer open back strap.
I know the Jordans would be too big for my hand.
Not sure about smooth vs. checkered.
They are substantially smaller than the Jordan Troopers. I have had Troopers before and even with my size XL hands they were simply too large for me to do good DA trigger work (on an N Frame). After that I started using Ropers and other types. The Ropers were substantially easier to do double action shooting with.Originally Posted by sierra 223
Lost River, what are your thoughts on the checkered vs smooth?
The Shooting Stars are going to a member. 💫💫💫 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
If I was shooting heavier, top end .44 mags/.45 Colts I would want something less aggressive. Mid range .44s/45s they would be fine. For .38/.357 loads, they are great and they are quite comfortable to shoot.
Normally I go with smoother grips on N frames, but for a K Frame, these are perfect.
How many times do I have to say it?
Uncle Mikes
Uncle Mikes are great but I think they're out of business. I tried to find a new set for my mod 36 and no luck. I have those on an old Taurus 85. That's the reason I wanted them for my 36.
I have some Ahrends on my mod 19 that I like but they went out of business also. Should have bought about 10 of these when they were in business. Who Knew?

You’ll get as many answers as hand sizes…
I like Hogue, Spegel but I haven’t tried some of the others mentioned.
Honestly, the Hideouts are fugly. They look a bit better in person.
However, the fit is superb. Medium profile in the undercut zone - less than T Grip, but more filling than splinter grips or even a bit more than Banana grips IIRC. They have a smooth enough surface to avoid grabbing cover garments but just enough subtle texture to allow a sufficient grip for smooth double action pulls.
They are a Goldilocks zone for me at AIWB.
I have some smooth custom-made Herretts and a no-name wooden boot grip. They are much more attractive to my eyes than the Hideouts, but no more effective.
I like the eagle grips secret service, especially for squarebutt guns.
