Everyone recommends the Crimson Trace grips for S&W 642 and similar J-frames, so I'm going to get one. BUT, there seems to be two choices available:
LG-305:
http://www.crimsontrace.com/default.asp?id=533
LG-405:
http://www.crimsontrace.com/default.asp?id=743
The web site has very little info on how one differs from the other. The 405 looks newer and says something about recoil reduction (sounds good to me as I'm getting quite a recoil from this thing). The 305 looks like it might be slightly larger so I can get a better grip (also sounds good to me... my hands are big). But would larger make it harder to carry in a pocket holster in the front pocket of my pants? Is the size difference enough to really matter? I don't want the butt of the grip protruding out the top of my pocket.
Has anyone tried either/both and have any thoughts on this?
