Moon Clip Tool Don't forget this little gizmo. You don't need it to load the clips, but it makes it a lot easier and faster to remove the empties.

Hogue Bantams are bitchin' Dead tree grips are real purdy and all, but if you want something durable, comfortable, and concealable, you can't go wrong with a pair of Hogue Bantams for your round butt J-framer.

A software problem? There is nothing special about the gun. It would have been mentioned in the description. My guess is that it's a $500 gun that got 3 bids. Gunbroker screwed up the listing.

It's a freakin' Easter Egg... If you type "43C" into the search window on the S&W site, you get "629 Mountain Gun" displayed below. Click on those words and you get a full page spec sheet on the 43C that shows a launch date of March 2010. Sheesh.

Wow Great find, HeyJoe. Didn't realize they were that rare. Good luck. George

Holy Cow, Hey Joe I did not realize they were that rare. You lucky duck. Good luck with it. George

Thanks Jim, Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of another Improved version. George

Are you sure about I's being shorter? Gentlemen, I recently acquired a mid-fifties .32 hand ejector, presumably an Improved I-frame gun. The original grips were nice, but I wanted rubber ones for daily carry, so I ordered a pair of Hogue J-frame Bantams. I figured I could trim the excess. To...

Great info Ken. Thanks. My gun looks just like picture #1, except for the short barrel. George

Thanks for your help, Mr. Taylor. Nothing on the yoke other than a serial number. Do you know if it is an I or J frame? George

I just picked up a snub-nose round butt in .32 S&W Long. It has 3 screws, pinned barrel, non-recessed cylinder, a semi-flat latch and no model designation that I can find. The paperwork says it is a Model 30, but I think it could be a -1 model. The serial number is 6429xx. The gun was...
