MWP Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The j frame release is the same as the standard guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the description on the Hogue and TK custom extended release, it says only for k,L,N,X frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWP Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Well I just stuck a Hogue long onto a current 442 and it seemed to work ok. I think I have a few Hogue’s and TK’s kicking around if you want me to try them on any particular guns? Or I could send you one to try before you buy? Any shops or locals guys to you might have one you could text fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhunter3 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The nub (or that ever it's called) on j frame release is slightly smaller than the K L M frames and bind a bit but can be fitted to work with a bit of filing and polishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried to put a new one on my 642 and that's what I see I'd have to do to make it work. Is this for carry or bug gun matches ??

I will be making some new releases in the next couple of months (winter stock up) and I'll look at a J frame sized unit that will fit IDPA rules, I'll let you know.

pskys2 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Has anyone tried shooting one with edc ammo? Wonder where the release will end up, could be painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
