The beautiful pics of these pieces of real life, "Functional Art" in this thread is just fantastic. You gentlemen have exquisite tastes!!!
My humble collection of .38Special snubs means a lot to me as each has a specific job and carry use depending on dress and location. 4 Smiths, one Colt all have been solid...
These are my matching "J" frames. I've swapped the Altamont grips out for the fantastic stock Magna's and the "Tyler-T" to make a winning combo grip, no pics yet though... I found myself carrying both of them today... NY reload style because they fit my hand & carry so well in a "Nemesis" pocket holsters and a Bianchi (Model "58" Holster) @ 4:00. Having 2 Bianchi speed strips in my left rear pocket makes for plenty of firepower on tap while still being extremely comfortable. It's Tyler T's for the rest of my "J" and "D" frame snubs here on out!

Edit: Here is one pic of my Nickel M36 with Magna's & Tyler combo, manufactured in 78'... Next up a pic of the Blued 77' Model 36...
