4 Different Styles of Smith & Wesson J Frame Grips
The Smith & Wesson model 7 models with the V Bit set include two grip options the Evolver and Eagle style. The Classic J-Frame is easily concealed and doesn't lend itself too readily to printing especially if the handgun is being worn in a traditional belt holster under a coat. They are also fairly small enough to fit through a standard belt pocket or through a side holster. website In addition, they provide adequate hand support which is critical when shooting a weapon from such an angle.
The V Bit is a classic W&W feature that provides two texture options: smooth or checkered. Both styles have textured surfaces. Smooth J Frames have small raised panel sections while checkered provides an uneven texture. This is a comfortable grip most hunters prefer. Since the raised panel sections of the classic frames do not make the fingers weak, the V Bit is an ideal option.
Smith & Wesson may still be considering including the classic panels in their new models. The company may choose to use the classic J Frame design with the textured panels only on some models. They may choose to add a single grip option on all models or offer both options on different models. Either choice would be a positive step in simplifying the handgun's handling.
Other changes in the company's traditional handguns are changes to other accessory rails. For example, the company has introduced a pistol holster that attaches to the front of the frame. They also have incorporated the use of fiber optics that allows the hunter to place a laser aiming device in an extremely compact location. Even the models with the smith & wesson brand name still utilize traditional open sights. The change allows for the newer handguns to be concealable.
The company has designed three new models that utilize Smith & Wesson's latest accessory offerings. First, they have developed the "Eagle Claw" boot grip. The combination of a front sight and a rear sight allows the hunter to place his target in just the right location. The added comfort of a rear sight makes it possible to place the claw at an advantageous angle for fast, accurate shooting. The addition of a front sight makes it possible to shoot without worrying about getting the alignment just right.
Second, Smith & Wesson have developed the "Performance Center." The Performance Center attaches to the top of the smith & wesson pistol and includes a grip extension, a sling adapter and a sling swivel. The accessory changes the way one holds the handgun by allowing for an enhanced shooting comfort. A front sight is mounted on the left side of the grip and the rear sight can be placed at an angle that provides a natural feeling of recoil control.
Finally, Smith & Wesson have created the "My Pillow." This pillow is made of a soft, comfortable, durable leather with Velcro attachments that secure the I frame grips onto the hand. The accessory, when attached to the front of the grip, provides the user with an extended comfort level. One of the most notable benefits of this accessory is that it is compatible with both iPhone using cases and regular leather holders. For users who like comfort but do not want the additional bulk that comes with traditional leather, the My Pillow is a great option.
All four of these options are sure to provide the hunter with an array of different choices when selecting holsters to carry their handguns in. Hunters will have the opportunity to choose between many different attachment points, including flat, high, and low profile. These options are designed to work with the specific hand and preferred carrying methodologies of the user. In addition, there are models that incorporate unique finger grooves for added grip and comfort. In general, Smith & Wesson should be able to accommodate most holster needs by incorporating several different styles and textures of these accessories.
