Default New guy from WV

Hey Everyone,

My name is Tyler, and I am a Mining Engineering Major at WVU and I am a security guard for part time work. I turned 21 in April of 2011 so you bet I'm going to exercise my rights to carry. A few months ago my dad handed down to me this:

Model 65 .357 Magnum





I love this gun, my only problem is the grip, and my hands aren't small (able to palm a basketball). So I'm looking for a larger rubber grip. Anyone know where I can find a good one?

Your Dad did right by you - congratulations!

Pachmayr made a "Gripper" grip for the K round butt, but I don't know if they still do. I found one on the web,used, and have it on my 3" M65:



Welcome to the forum from a fellow Mountaineer ('71) and engineer.

PS - found the grip on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Pachmayr-Gripp...d_sim_sbs_sg_1
