I’ll take the Tyler T-Grip

I will take these. Pm incoming.

**SOLD** Note for those referencing this ad as a comparitive price: At $700, this 63-3 received several full price offers from buyer willing to pay shipping and transfer fees, all within hours of the ad's posting. Clearly I priced this 63-3 a bit low to ensure a fast sale. Smith and Wesson...

Model 60 no dash They multiply. Then they want new shoes.

Kramer I had a Kramer Horsehide for my model 66. It has a stiff piece of leather behind the cylinder that gave outstanding retention. I could hold it upside down and shake really hard, and the 66 would not move. To draw I had to either pull really hard, or press laterally with my thumb on...

Thanks for the very nice grips, and at a reasonable price.

Wood Grips for J Frame "Ace" grips from a '90's Ladysmith in two colors. Available only on the used market, and not very common there. These took a bit of sanding and a mineral oil re-finish to fit right. Factory Magnas on a 442-1. These are available on the used market, too, for $10 -...

J Frames Here's most of mine. I sure like 'em. A pair of model 60 no dashes, A pair of 640 no dashes, An engraved model 640-1, A 63-3, and a 442-1.

Benchmade PM Sent, thanks.

I'll take both the j frame grips. Pm to follow

Stainless S&W's I have paid anywhere from $425 to $750 for stainless S&W's. My collection's vintage spans from 1965, when the model 60 was introduced to 1996, just before S&W began using MIM parts. All are round butts, with barrels no longer than 3". My numbers are also "west coast" prices...

. All of my J Frames have factory stock spring sets. They are all for defensive applications, and the smooth but heavy trigger pull is, in my opinion, perfect for that application. I like the strong, satisfying snap and brisk trigger return on a stock J Frame, particularly on an older...

.22 Smith and Wesson model 63-3 Super Reliable, same manual-of-arms as my carry guns, doesn't eject smoothly with waxy ammo, easy to clean, shotshells and shorts are no problem. Typical J-Frame double action and single action trigger. Somewhat expensive and difficult to find. Colt Woodsman...

65 vs 686 My 3" model 65-3 weighs 1 lb 15.75 oz wearing magnas and a Tyler T. My 2.5" model 686-3 weighs 2 lbs 2.25 oz wearing magnas ( no t-grip) So, about 2.5 oz more on the 686, maybe 3 counting the T-Grip. The 7 shot cylinder 686 would be slightly lighter, but the 3" bbl 686 would be...

Model 60. I'll take it in trade, as per our PM's.
