    Tyler T-Grips - End of Story

    I sent a check for 2 sets of tyler's and received them 2 weeks ago, 4 1/2 weeks from the date they cashed the check. Not sure why I got them so quick but I'm not complaining

    Old Dallas PD 64-1

    You can get a letter from S&W Historical Foundation showing original ship date and who it was sold to. I think the cost is $75 Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Nickel issues

    Yeah I'll call them and see what they say. I'm pretty sure it's the factory finish since the hammer and trigger aren't nickeled which is usually the first indication it was a refinish job I have a model 27 no dash that is factory nickeled and it's still in excellent condition. Maybe this one...

    Nickel issues

    Nickel has starting flaking. Happened the last time I shot it. It's a model 29-3. It was factory nickeled, it has the N stamps. Not sure if it's the original finish or a refinish. I've only owned it about a year. Any way to keep it from getting worse? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Help with J frame grip Question

    From what I've learned, they stopped numbering the stocks in the late 70's. Don't have my catalog with me at the moment to see production year of those two. My M36 is from 69/70 and the right panel has matching serial number to the gun Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
