Good morning all. I promised more pics and they're coming. I got busy and I'l trying to get the hang of using the light box. What looks good (to me) in the box doesn't turn out well when I view the pictures. Another attempt is scheduled for today. Derned new fangled thangs es a givvin me a...

Alan, thanks for the link. I was speaking of the insane prices people are paying for any old gun. Guns that most of us wouldn’t have looked at twice or that we’d buy as a truck or cabin gun, a “shooter”. Guy, thanks for the kind offer but I wouldn’t want to bother you ;) Gary, thanks for the...

Guy, no threaded hole for a lanyard on the butt. Alan, the stocks are in good shape for a gun that was supposedly carried and used by a policeman. Make me wonder if he was a dick or used a flap holster. How do I get a letter of authenticity? I'll try and get more pics soon. You know, I'm...

Howdy Wiregrass and thanks. I've been around since 2005 but I don't post much. I just drool on myself looking at the old revolvers pictured on the forum. Reference photo, attached. I tried taking pictures but they didn't turn out well. I can try again. Is there something specific on the pistol...

I purchased a nice S&W revolver from a friend the other day. I was wondering if I can get an approximate date of manufacture. I’ve attempted to follow the instructions in the “To IDENTIFY your Gun” sticky. Here goes. It’s a 5-screw Hand Ejector Military and Police and was told it was a...

WTB Uncle Mike's Checkered Rubber Grips for K/L Frame Round Butt Revolvers. Please note, the exact type shown in the pics below. Round butt and enclosed backstrap. Thank you. Click to enlarge

Yeah, after an exhaustive and unfulfilling search I've pretty much decided on the Pachmayr Compac Grips. The Diamond Pro Grips look good but appear to be somewhat longer. I'd like to do a side-by-side comparison but living in a rural setting makes that impracticable. I'd like to thank everyone...

Compacts right?

I know what you're saying but ya can have it both ways and it appears you did. I don't mind a grip that fills in the places where I need, i.e. a bit chunky, but there's no need for it to be the long, square butt style target stock configuration. Notice how yours are all rounded? Any info on the...

Great lookin' piece...My only objection is I didn't see any easily concealable stocks on Herrett's site.

Phil, thanks for the advice and I would love to see a pic...what's a Combat Magnum without Jordan Troopers?

The old ones were pretty good. I had 4 different sets IIRC and my favorite were the compact for the J-frame sized pistols, with the finger notch at the bottom. Id love a set of those for the K... I'm rural so most of my shopping in via the Internet and that has it's limitations at times, such...

Thanks for the assist fellas...the S&W grips all seem to have the indent but the Pachmayr Compacts look like they may fill the bill...so far. However, I noticed many complaints on Pachmayrs of late where they do not fit right. Did they sell out or something? They used to make a great product, I...

I'm guessing this might be the correct location for this post as the grips/stocks I seek are for concealed carry purposes. Does anyone know of a set of concealable stocks that add some meat at the top of the back strap? I have a large hand with long fingers an I'm never completely...

Elvis, What does your income have to do with the procedure I offered as a recommendation? If you find you would rather have it completely removed then do so, usually the semi-bob works.
