The first time I ever shot my 1989 4" Mountain Revolver with full house rounds
I thought to myself "this gun is a candidate for MagNaPorting". It ended
up pointing straight up to the sky. It came with rubber grips but they
were very hard at the thumb web area.

It took 20 years but I finally got courage and sent my baby off to
MagNaPort (a couple of weeks after Larry passed away). Their customer
service is unparalleled. The gunsmith actually called me at home to
discuss the details and make sure I got what I wanted (including
a couple of things he suggested). Shirley made the call worthwhile for
both of us

What I got was an action job (includes a bunch of stuff), radius
and polish the trigger for double action and HiViz sights. I got a green
ramp as well in case I decided to change my mind later. S&W later
lost that sight butt that's another story.

I added the S&W 500 Mag grips. I have to say this made a huge
difference as the ports cause the gun to go backwards instead of
rise up. The gun now shoots comfortably as well as my heavier
44's (6" 629, 7.5" Redhawk).

As I said in another thread:
"I put the 500 grips on my 1989 Mountain Revolver and the
shooting experience with full loads went from dreary to fun!
They are not lookers. Don't even fit completely right but they
do the job. Probably never going to put others on that gun."

The action job is fantastic. I have never enjoyed as smooth a
double action as this. This might be important as this is an anti-bear
weapon in Northern Wisconsin. I have been practicing with full
rounds and the MagNaPort has allowed me to at least double my
recovery and second shot speed.



I always add a piece of rubber on the trigger to minimize over-travel.
Try it. You will like it.
