Yep, when I work in a gun shop. Every time someone asked me about the recoil in the S&W 340/360. With full power 357’s
I would tell them it was like hitting a telephone pole with an aluminum ballbat as hard as you can…
I carried 38+p’s in mine. Great guns. I think they weigh 12oz.. But you pay...
Just have it repaired. A good gunsmith can fix that.
My guy fixed a chipped set of N frame grips for me, you could not tell it was repaired when he was done.
If you Do fix it,just tell the next guy the grips been repaired. A good gunsmith wood guy can fix it and you’ll may never be able to to tell.
Model 19-2 4" blue in box with everything. 100.00 + 4.25 tax.
Of course this was 1972. I was 16 and my mom not only trusted me, but also did the paperwork on it.

Like most one...
I just see on YouTube that old is new again.
They were say that the 38 cal 148 FWC is again a very good option for self defense.

I have been loading since 1976.
Now days I load and shoot 90% cast bullets. That I make and PC. That’s as cheap as it gets now days.

Your post is spot on, if the guy doesn’t like the carbine, he should just get another rifle.
A lot of his complaints are minor and most real gun guys could address in short order.
I have seen issues with after ma mags, GI mags work 95+. % of the time. But the same with most combat rifle mags.
I agree, 100 for both is Oknifvyour keeping them. Theres not a lot of retail value unless you find that guy.
I do estate sales. I buy all the grip I can afford, but I’m buying to resale. If I sell a set for 75.oo eBay charges me about 10.oo to sell them. So I’m down to 65.oo minus what I paid...
I have one too. I bought it for my daughter on sale 299.oo NEW, With a coupon for 2 free 15 rd mags. So It has 4-15 rd 380 mags. Ours is Not a sub compact but mid size. But great gun with Lots of fire power.
