I have a question! Are there any laser type grips for a 38 S&W wheel gun?
Smith revolvers are typically classified by frame size.
The small frame/snubnose guns are "J" frame.
The medium frame guns are "K" or "L" frame. These two frames share the same grips and interesting they also share grips with the super-magnum "X" frame.
The large frame guns are "N" frame.
Smith grips are also subdivided into SQUARE and ROUND butt, and one won't properly fit the other, so you will want to match the frame and grip style.
But to answer the question, laser grips are available for ALL THREE grip sizes.
Crimson Trace is the biggest manufacturer of these, and they offer grips that will fit all the frame sizes and variations. This company makes the factory-issue laser grips that Smith sells with some models, and I think this one is widely considered to be the "standard" in laser grips.
Depending on what exact model gun you're talking about, there may be other laser sighting options, including a model called Lasermax, and a replacement integral-laser rear sight.
