That looks familiar. How do those Ahrends feel? They sure are light, almost a full ounce less than the Uncle Mike's. Weighing different grips on a digital scale, the results were interesting.
Uncle Mike's boot grip - 2.1 oz.
PGS Hideout grip - 2.0 oz.
S&W logo boot grip 1.7 oz.
Ahrends R.B. smooth 1.2 oz.

How hard is it to change?
Do I need special tools?
I've done the lock removal surgery, and the cylinder swap appears to be less invasive than that. Hopefully a novice, like myself, can do it too. Please fill me in.

Mine wasn't a simple swap. It required trimming back the yoke and fitting the headspacing and barrel/cylinder gap. Forum member
