Altamont's smith and wesson Grips
Founded in 1852 by partners Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson, S&W continues to produce high quality firearms as they have for over 150 years. Their classic guns include the .38 special and the .357, which have been adopted by many police departments as the de facto standard.

S&W medallions are now available in S&W grips. We currently have Silver medallions (picture). There will be a button "Add medallions" in your shopping cart on eligible products. The cost is $10.00 for a pair.
Grip Selection
To order a Smith & Wesson grip from us, you will need to know whether your gun is a J, K/L, or N frame AND whether it has a round or square butt. The information below is to help you determine what you have.Smith & Wesson guns fall into three main frame categories:
J - .38 Special and 9 mm. This is the smallest frame.
K/L - .38 Special and .357 Magnum. This is the medium frame revolver. K & L Frames are interchangeable when it comes to grips.
N - .41 and .44 Magnum. This is the large frame revolver.
Within those three categories, your frame may be either square or round.
Note: You will notice that some models may have been made in both a square and a round butt. If this is the case, then you will need to visually decide if your frame is round or square. See example below:
