S&W 22s grips vs 22a

[Foul Mike]

My squaw bought a S&W 22s a couple of days ago.
I like it and it runs well.
It has black rubber grips and I looked at a 22a that had laminate grips before she bought this one.
I kind of liked the grips on the 22a more than what is on the s model.
Do you know if they will inter change or do you have any preference for something better?
Also, where would I purchase them?
Thanks, FM

Thanks for the link.
I had tried that before only to find out that they are closed through the Holidays, to end 3 Jan 12, so no one to talk to.
Thank you again for your help, Happy New Year. Regards, FM

PS, do you know if those grips will fit between a s model and an a model?

Not sure about that but the way the catalog reads, it looks like it will fit either. A call on Monday sounds like the best plan.

I have tried, with no success, to call them all morning.
Maybe everyone is all hungover and not accepting calls.
They don't even have good elevator music.
I will try again tomorrow.
This piece is nice and runs well, I just don't like the grips. I need something a little larger.
Thank you for your advice and Happy New Year.

I have a 22A. Had it for about 4 or 5 years now. Runs great. Never a misfire or misfeed. I think the only downside is the safety. It is kinda cheap feeling.

I too like the s model I have.
Runs great and is accurate, just don't like the grips too well.
I have looked on the internet for others and made lots of calls. No luck!!!
I have called S&W every day over the past week and never got to talk to anyone.
Poor customer relations to say the least. I have let the phone run with the elevator music for as long as an hour and a half, no answer.
The number I use is 1 800 331 0852.
I don't know what to do now other than grin and bare A-- it.
I guess I am stuck with what I have, but would sure think twice before buying another S&W product.
I would just order the grips if I knew they fit, but don't know if any other changes were made when they went from the s model to the a model.
Not too happy with S&W as a company.
Maybe it is just me.

Re: S&W 22s grips vs 22a

Do you think that S&W/ Thompson Center is all in this huge buyout of American gun manufactures?
Does that "group" have a number that you can call?
Seems strange to me that I would call the number for S&W and never get anyone after a week.
Rem. Marlin, etc. all in this consortium, maybe S&W too?
Any thoughts?
