These were mystery Ebay grips that looked like they would fit my 1952 Cobra so I took a chance for under a hundred bucks. They fit perfect and I'm real pleased with them. They just look "right". Pictured with the gun is a rare uncatalogued Berns-Martin IWB holster. Well used just like the gun, but both mechanically perfect. That's remnants of blueing along the top edges of the grips.

Looks like a great match......gun, leather, and grips!!

Excellent upgrade Wyatt!

I doubt you'll ever want to remove them, they just get better looking every day!

Hey, can we swap left panels? Yours matches my right side perfect!

And mess with perfection?

That's a fine gun that. Now I know what mine used to look like. I swapped the Pach. adapter for a T-grip I had because the Pach metal clip interfered with the mainspring binding the gun. If I notched the grips on the inside it should work OK. Did you have that problem? I like the Pach. adapter better. It's probably more age appropriate, and it feels better to me. But they do tend to wobble more.

Wyatt, you want to find a Pachmayr adapter made specifically for the small D-frames. On these, the clips are notched for clearance from the factory to avoid binding on these guns.

I've had no issue with the clip. I will take the handles off my Cobra, though and take a look. On one adapter, I trimmed back the clip a bit and the adapter still fit fine since it is pressure from the handles that keep it in place.

Here is what the clip looks like on a size 7 Pachmayr grip adapter (for new model D-frames):



It's cut at an angle on the left side to provide clearance.
