Hogue makes these for the K frames. But for the life of me, I don't remember the name of the darn things. I'll look in the safe and update later.

The only companies currently making rubber grips for the S&W is Pachmayr, Hogue, and S&W.
Both make a number of different types.
Pachmayr offer the large Presentation, the finger groove Gripper, the Professional Gripper with open back strap, the Decelerator Gripper, the Compac, and the Professional Compac.
Hogue offer the excellent Mono-Grip with finger grooves, and the snap-on Bantam Grip pictured above.
S&W sells several types of rubber grips made for them.
Take a look:

I have the TJ93 (pebble finish) on a SW 14-4.
I reshaped mine to look more like a regular grip. Sanded off the top area of the backstrap and sanded off the thumb rests.
My other S&W with closed-back rubber grips:
1. S&W 686 -- Pachmayr gripper with closed-backstrap.
2. S&W 15 -- Uncle mike's with closed-backstrap --- small but OK
I like the reshaped Traush TJ93 more than uncle mike's or pachmayr for SA shooting.
Eventually, I will get another to replace the Uncle Mikes on my S&W 15.
The Traush TJ88 (checkered) are small (about the same size as Uncle Mikes) -- I have one in a box -- I do not like it.

I like the Hogue rubber - finger groove ...grips on my shorter revolvers in heavier calibers...( like a S&W model 629 in a 3" ( .44 mag ) ....
but in my standard K frames...( model 19's or 66's in .357 mag in 2 1/2" or 4"....) I like the old S&W wood finger groove grips ...for looks / and for performance in and out of a holster...

( my apology for the fuzzy photos / I downgraded them in resolution to get them to work on the forum ) ....I need to get some new photos.../ but you can sort of see the grips...
