I used Picassa to reduce the pixel size on some .JPG photo files, and that got them down to the size that could be uploaded. Don't know if that will help you.

Small Grips Thanks for the photos Jim (Hondo44) of the J and K frames. My revolver, with the larger grips installed looks like a longer barrel version of your J frame photo. I'm attaching another photo with the small grips installed.

Thanks again for all of your comments. But I've got to ask another question that will show my lack of knowledge. What's the difference between a K frame (mentioned by shep854) and a J frame (mentioned by gunlovingirl) ?

I don't mind being picked on as a Newbie. I feel like I'm going to have so much fun, that a little teasing isn't going to discourage me. I want to ask a question about the 2 sets of grips. When I bought the gun, it had the larger grips installed, and they felt pretty comfortable. When I...

I have just bought a used S&W revolver, which I was told is a model 35-1. It appears to be in excellent shape. The only wear of the surface is a small area at the handle end of the cylinder opening, and there is a very minor scratch around the cylinder. Otherwise, the surface looks pristine...
