I am looking to sell this gun again. I have added the Ruger rubber hand grips and am sweetening the deal with 250 rounds of target ammo. Still looking for a FTF deal. She has now had about 1300 rounds through her.

How about one from each grandfather! With the original leather.

That flat latch is beautiful! Congrats in purchasing the START of your collection. It will be a nice one by the way you've started out.

Thank you all very much! I feel very fortunate to have a revolver from each of my grandfathers and my dad. There are a few others floating arround in the family as well that will be mine at some point but I am in in no hurry to have any more passed along anytime soon.

I would agree with you 1000%. I'm just sorry I waited so long to do it.

We all have our preference/addictions and I think the J frame Snubby is where my addiction lies! The 37 is mine, the 36 square butt was my mothers dads, the 36 flat latch round butt was my fathers dads and the Pre 27 was my dads. With 3 J frame snubby's in the fold already they got me started...

Shoot an IM to sth44 he had two more pairs when I bought this set. He may be willing to part with anouther set.

My dad used to say "real men don't waist hormones on hair!" Looks like you guys had a good time. I'm suprised more folks here don't try to set up shooting days with other members. We might have to think about that for the Virginia area folks.

I know all of these don't fit the 61-80 criteria but I knew you would enjoy them anyway. I just got the grips for the Pre27 from anouther forum member and am very pleased with the way it looks now. I also have the correct numbered grips for the flat latch but put the stags on so I wouldn't screw...

Thanks for looking! I feel like a little school girl, every time I go near the safe I have to pull it out and look at it like its some kind of love letter or something. When I'm at work I look at the pictures at least once a day. I know I may be slipping into some kind of obsession here but I'm...

Thanks guys, I can't get over how much of a difference the new/old grips make. It looks like a totally diferent gun to me.

Special thanks to sth44 for helping me out with these grips! I posted a thread here just last week looking for help on how to find a set of period correct grips for my Pre 27 that my father gave to me a while back and a couple days later I had this pair in the mail from Steve. Thanks for the...

WOW that is a beauty!

Man I really need some lessons in taking photos, do you ever come to the Virginia area?

Engine49guy those are some nice looking pistols you have there.
