period correct rubbers
I agree with sixgunstrumpet in that period correct rubbers fit right in with vintage Smith's and if they feel better to you then by all means...they are the way to go.
Over the years I've come by some well used M&P 4" 38's that may have been police turn-ins, or used by private security/armored car drivers/guards, etc. cause they were long missing wood service grips and had been wearing rubbers long enough to have pitting at the upper edges on the frame. These guns were not Model 10's, and I never really was interested in them (fair condition at best) beyond trading material, so maybe pre WWII, or early post war.
Guns are long gone in sales or trades, but for some reason I kept 2 sets of rubbers. Hogue Monogrip (poor mans "cokes"), and Mershon for K Frame...They both have tagged along to many gun shows...but never any interest (purists hate em, shooters don't seem to care).
Anyway....enjoy the pics.
