The ammo is safe for the gun, but is the type that gave the .38 Special its poor rep for stopping power. But I don't know of much else that won't risk cracking the frame on the Airweight guns. Presumably, Federal's old Chief Special Nyclad load was okay, but I don't think it's still made. Was 125 grains at about 825 FPS.
I think Buffalo Bore may load full power wadcutter ammo. I'd look into that If I had an Airweight. That should be about 150 grains @ 850 fps.

The grips look beautiful! I recently revived an old thread about magma style grips expressing my disappointment in those who remove magna grips in favor of large oversized rubber grips because it hurts their hands. I am in complete favor of the magnas. I'm surprised at how many people dislike them. They are as classic as the guns themselves. The stock grips on your 37 look amazing as well, I personally would've stuck with those, but if you are going to change them, at least you picked the right kind! I love the diamond grips a lot. I prefer the ones just after diamond deletion, but those are gorgeous. Nicely done!
