Thanks for all the nice thoughts and comments. Contrary to popular belief, 18's are rare out here as are most other nice S&W's. Waiting for a -2 or a -4 isn't realistic. Can't buy off Gunbroker or any other out of State source. Verbotten as per our overlords.
I told my daughter about this piece and she's excited to use it. She likes 22, really likes my Ruger MkII, so this will be nice for her.
I bought a 4" 586-1 mfg in 1988, so being her birth year, I let her pick out some grips for it and "gave" it to her. Rose laminated Hogues.
Here's a couple pics I took today with the cell.
Perfect finish, looks brand new.
Very happy!
