how can you tell if you have a J frame or a K&amp;L? I have a S&amp;W 38 special service revolver 4" barrel

Try going to S&W site. The model number should be on your gun if you open the cylinder. On the frame under the crane it should say, mod. xx. That should give you a starting point. You should be able to order a holster that fits with just that. The Fobus holsters work great, as do Uncle Mike's. I use a paddle which I think is more stable and easier to get on and off. You can spend all kinds of money but these are basic and work well for regular use. Wear it around to get used to it, then wear your unloaded gun around to get used to it. Practice drawing and reholstering with unloaded weapon before you venture out. You're not Wyatt Earp, yet.

This revolver seems to be a clone of the S&W; K frame square butt. As dimensions for grips are critical, I would suggest you dismount the present grips and make a careful trace of the outline of the revolver frame (the bare steel). Transfer the trace onto medium thickness cardboard and visit your local gunsmith so he can check your trace against the frame of a S&W.; What is critical is the location and diameter of the stud-receiving perforations on the grip, as the studs play an important part in keeping the grips firmly against the frame. If everything fits nicely except the perforations for the studs, these can always be plugged and new perforations drilled. Visit your gunsmith.

I'm not sure the 32 frame is the same size as the 38 frame. Need to contact Smith & Wesson and ask them.

I can only report that they fit a S&W; Model 637 airweight .38 special, a J-frame revolver

I believe so. My XD sub-compact is a 3.3" barrel and its perfect, so I'd imagine the j-frame would be fine

I'm pretty sure the Model 37 is a square butt j-frame; the decelerator grips are for round-butt S&W;'s.

I got it for my son in law who has a S&W; J Frame(not sure which model). Haven't heard any complaints as yet.

Not up to date on all S & W models but it supposedly fits the k frame,i did not like the feel on my 65 so i switched to a hogue

Yes, this grip fits the K, L, & N frame S&W; revolvers. I installed mine on a model 65, which is a K frame like the model 19.

I pulled up a video of the Cassidy and held my K-Frame up to the screen. Looks like the same revolver, in every viewable aspect. It appears that since this Cassidy is a dead ringer for the S&W I have in my hand, the grips could fit. That being said, the grips I purchased directly from Smith & Wesson for that K-Frame did not fit correctly, and I had to return them. I purchased a set from a vendor at Amazon that fit precisely. Apparently no guarantees with this kind of thing.

Not certain, but I purchased these for my S&W; 15-3, which is a K frame, and they fit perfectly with no adjustments needed and look great.

the determining factor for which CT to choose is the frame-model 12 is a K frame and the other factor is the butt. The K comes in both square and round butt. you can determine what your pistol is by removing your existing grips and matching to the many images on the web. The 32 terrier I think is a J frame?

Looking at his post for Crimson Trace the seller list he has Grips for Round and Square butt S&W. With that thought in place he likely has Grips to fit many models of S&W. My advice would be contact the seller and find out from him what exactly he has. God Bless

I personally like the square butt on my L 686 and N 629 frame revolvers. Comfortable grips. I am a fan of Hogue.

This will only fit the S&W J-Frame. The S&W 442 is a J-Frame. You are good to go.

I own S&W 685 Model which is a .357 chambered for a .38. The Smith and Wesson Model 64 Military and Police revolver is the stainless steel version of its Model 10. It is a six shot revolver chambered in .38 Special. The Model 65, is similar but chambered in .357 Magnum, being a stainless steel version of the carbon steel Model 13. The Model 65 cylinder is longer to accommodate the longer .357 Magnum cartridge. The Model 65 was in production from 1972 until some time in 2004-2005 and utilized the same standard K-frame (S&W medium frame) as the Model 64. Beginning in 1980, S&W also produced .357 Magnum revolvers on their "medium-large" frame size ("L-frame") to better handle the higher long-term stresses of the magnum loads, calling the larger frame revolver in stainless steel the Model 686. Specifications Caliber: .38 S&W Special +P (Model 64); .357 Magnum (Model 65) Capacity: 6 Rounds Barrel Length: varies Frame: Medium Material: Stainless Steel Now with that being said, I purchased that same Fobes tactical holster and it fits like a glove. My piece was a LE trade when i purchased it years ago. The material inside is the same as outside, Kydex. If you are worried about scratching the gun, mine hasn't and there are a ton of these being used. What I do is when I get them, I custom fit each to my liking. Put your piece into the holster and if it fits, rides and draws the way you like, if so stop. If not, life is simple place the (unloaded) 686 into the holster and use a heat gun to warm up the Kydex. Careful it gets hot quick, if your thumb is sensitive to heat, wear a leather glove, push down for more security, loosen for less. Form it to your liking. If you feel that you have it snug but want it do come out faster, wrap the 686 in some wax paper and insert into the holster overnight. All this does is it will put a little wax on the inside. Hope that helps, IMO, good lightweight holster. Worse comes to worse, send it back, it's a good company..
