    Trade a 66 for a 686?

    If I'm not wrong 357mag was introduced due to car shield. A good 38 or a mild 357 is enough for lighter armored target, more if it's for home defense. Personnaly I also favor 66 balance, a late discover, they replaced a previously owned 686 6". 66-3 2.5" 66 nodash 4" (625) Both are good...

    I would like to see your favorite K-frame grips..if you would share.

    I like Nill's products, they fit well my hand and are fine to my eyes. 17-3 with Classical Coke-Bottle 67-1 with Square Combat 66-3 With Round Combat Due to fat-hand/short-fingers, all are "open back"

    17-3, from target to coke.

    Feel is really good. Fit is tight, need a really firm press to clamp the grips. There is only a hair between "tight" and "need some grinding" so it's possible that sometime depending on frame some adjustements are needed. This isn't my first encounter with Nill's product: I tried some, 696...

    17-3, from target to coke.

    For a while I was wondering about the coke-bottle grips. Originals are scarce. Nill made a well renowned repro that I decide to try, few days later I received my purchase. I took target grips from my 17 and made some pics: My 17-3 before: After, way better ! The coke...
