Thanks for the comps gentlemen! I did the grips myself as I wanted something a bit different from the standard S&W straight back grip. The grips are a set of 390X with the arched backstrap that I cut down to fit the shorter frame, I used the plastic insert from a set of Houges to take care of the mainspring. I then used rough grit sand paper to shape everything and remove the factory molded in checkering, I left them just a bit rough to still have something to hold onto. I have thought about going all the way to fitting a backstrap from a 39 and using cut down 39 wood ala a Devel gun but it is a lot of work to do so.
