Will These Fit a 638?

I saw these http://www.hogueinc.com/store/categories/soft-overmolded-rubber/841 on the hogue website under the polymer bodyguard section and was wondering if they would fit a 638.

Ya they should, it says S&W j frame round butt and the back of the 638 goes up like a centennial. I think I may have to pick up a purple pair for my wife. If you do get them let us know how they work out.

I don't think they'll fit. A real J frame grip is quite different than the molded, one size fits none grip of that abomination now called a Bodyguard. You may want to call Hogue to make sure before ordering.

hogue's picture shows that grip mounted on a 642 so they should fit a 638 or for that matter, a 637.

You're right, JAREDSHS. I just looked at the larger pic and didn't notice the 642. Still don't get the point of it but, rock on.

It says 'Bodyguard' in the ad. That's what a 638 is.

I like Hogue rubber grips for shooting, but find their surface to be too tacky so they hang up on a shirt and print. I don't use them on carry guns.

Pointshoot, S&W makes three very different guns called Bodyguard. The 638 is just one of them. The gun shown in the OP's first post is not a 638. Follow the links.

I don't even know how many M&Ps they make now. It's a pet peeve of mine.

@ burrhead- thank you, I stand corrected.

One of the links you posted shows an "M&P Bodyguard". Hmmmm. Another reason for me to prefer the older guns.
