Did you have this work completed yet? Inquiring minds etc etc.

I'd like to buy #63 and #169.

PM sent regarding round to square grips

Clint Eastwood, any day of the week. Besides, John Wayne was a trojan. -- Bruin Brian

I like Spegel grips, and BluMagnum. Both are traditional looking but with improved designs compared to the original Ropers.

Removing this due to bad info on my part. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope you are able to locate your revolver! -- Brian

The Standard Catalog referenced above is THE BOOK - very informative, lots of great color photos, and relatively current. I suggest you visit a few gun stores and handle several different revolvers. Tell the salesperson that you are a new shooter and want to look at a variety of S&Ws in J...

Oooh! Very very very nice! -- Brian

Thanks, Saxon Pig. Very interesting. Here's mine from that series, #1546. It has been converted to .44 Special by David Clements, and he added his front sight. It's in Virginia with Mr. Fishpaw right now, and I miss it! -- Brian

I'd start with a .22 then move up to a .38/.357 Ammo is 1/10th the price of centerfire, and you can work on your shooting skill without having to deal with heavier recoil and report. I bring one of my K-22s with me every time I go to the range to warm up and get into my routine.

I'd say no less than $500, maybe $550 depending on how badly he wants it ;)

David Clements conversion on a M27-2

Wow, very kind offer! This gun, although a post-61er, is of interest to me as one of a later batch of 5" barreled, nickel M27s used by FL Highway Patrol. Yes, it has been converted to .44 Special, which is completely appropriate for this vintage, if not for collectibility.

He's making some for me now. Waiting list was about three and a half years :) The other set I own are huge, made for someone with seriously big paws, and nicely tuliped at the top. They work nicely as target type grips, and live on my M57.
