They are from an older N frame, and thanks for the response.

What species of wood are these target grips?

I don't see the UC as a pocket gun. The grips are too large. You want light and concelable, pick up a 340pd and add some CT LG405 grips.

It's been a long time but I think my L comp came with wood and a rubber monogrip. I swapped them out for a set of Spegel's in walnut.

My theory, it's a tool that might save my life. Kydex or leather, a few thousand practice draws will mark up any gun. That confirms you might be becoming more efficient.

A coworker just picked up a 3-1/4 " with black grips and we dated it in the late 1930's. No box or paperwork but clearly it was bought, put in a drawer where it remained until it was sold. No turn lines or a mark on it anywhere. The gun looks unfired. $590.

There should not be a primer too hard to set the round off. Try the ammo in a different gun. If it fires in that gun, buy a Ruger.

If bears are even a little threat there is probably no need for a dot and a greater need for a bigger hole puncher. At least a 10mm and I mean a real hot 10mm load, or 44 mag. My 2 ¢

There are far too many posts about S&W quality control issues. I work at a range and also see my share as well as having a couple myself with PC guns no less. When asked, I switched my recomendations to Kimber and Ruger both of which have never given me issues.

I moved over to Kimber and Ruger revolvers and never looked back.

Ran my new Hamre Forged grips on a 642 PC today. Great shape but recoil was hard on the hands and that is coming from a guy that has thousands of rounds through a 340pd with LG 405 laser grips. I may go back to the factory rubber or the wood that came on this gun.

Thanks for the heads up on Hamre Forged grips. I have a set of Spegel grips on an L frame and have been waiting for years for Craig to call for my J frame. I received a set of Hamre Forge's without the hook, and they work perfectly on one of my 642's. These are a great option and hopefully...

I have a PC 642, 340pd, gave my son in law a 642 cut for moonclips. Of the three I much prefer the 340pd just based on the longer extractor rod in the 357 version.

Thank you. My first thought was a pair of inexpensive aftermarket rubber set qs they will be off after each lessoon. I will find a set of magna's.

I have a Mod 17 6" 1971 mfg with stock grips. I teach ladies to shoot and the grips are just too large for someone with small hands to handle. Any suggestions as to a smaller profile set of grips for a K Frame square butt?
