Optimizing the J Frame EDC Revolver

#wheelgunwednesday

“The small-frame revolver has been a mainstay of everyday carry and personal protection in the U.S. for the better part of two centuries. They’re not the easiest of guns to shoot, but they have an uncomplicated manual of arms and are easy to carry, which is why they remain popular. Some simple improvement can be made to them to make them easier to shoot. Main among those improvements are improving the visibility of the sights and using stocks that properly fit the shooter’s hands.”

Here are a few illustrations that didn’t make it into the online article.

I know everyone likes fancy wood boot stocks on their revolver but shooting 5^5 https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/start-shooting-better-5×5-drill/ with them shows how hard they are to hold onto. Except for an ankle, pocket, or barbecue gun, they’re not very useful.

A decent set of larger rubber stocks is a huge improvement. On a belt gun or for FlexCarry https://www.flexccarrysolutions.com/ , they’re no more difficult to conceal. Even rubber boot stocks are better than wood ones.

    are there any rubber stocks that maintain the slimness of the boot grip but extend below the grip frame to give that third finger on the gun?
