Thanks for the info; the grips on the "Deluxe" do look very nice. This is my own 6" 686 (non-plus version) with Hogue rubber grips. I picked this gun up lightly used (the owner had apparently lost his gun rights; it happens) and it appears to be a very good specimen. I had my Smith put in the Wollf Spring Kit and a good tune, and she shoots really sweet.
