Had numerous customers back then, that dumped the original
grips, that were subsequently discarded, before they even
fired the gun.
Just a little something you wouldn't know, unless you were there.

Yeah, I remember the days when I was such a rube who bought guns just to shoot them ...
I think I've told this story here before. I had acquired a used Model 66. I found the original target stocks too big, so I took a hacksaw and chopped the bottoms off level with the steel grip frame. That ended up not feeling great and looking worse, so I threw them away and bought rubber grips.
Ah, those innocent days of my youth ...
