I just recently traded my Smith & Wesson J frame model 642-1 Airweight Centennial back to it's rightful owner in return for a S&W matte blue/black J frame model 442-2 Airweight Centennial.
It came with S&W's "new" rubber grip which I gotta say is kinda ugly, but it feels a little better than the Uncle Mike boot grip most others wear.
But I feel like a rubber grip on a blue/black revolver is sacrilege. Therefore, this little feller needs some new shoes.
I've picked out two sets that I really, REALLY like, but I can't decide which ones would look best on this little guy. And please don't suggest that I buy both, because, A) I can't afford both and B) If I had both, I would be constantly changing them trying to decide which set I like better.
So. Here are the contenders.
First up is a set of Rosewoods with the S&W medallion...

I like these a lot. I think all blue/black revolvers need a good set of woods.
Next up, is a set of bonded ivory boots with medallions...

IMHO, nothing says classy like ivories. While these are obviously faux, they still dress up a blue/black revolver better than nobody's bizness.
So there ya go, guys (and gals ). Help me pick my next set of stocks.
I didn't make an "other" option, because after hours and hours of searching grip after grip after grip, these two are the one I like the best.
