Sell the grips on Ebay. I sold mine there for over $100 when I bought my 3" talo. They are nice looking grips, but didn't work well for me.

She looks great wearing those wood grips. I'm in love with her also.

I got a 3" 3-5-7 686 version and it is great. Straight barrel, tight, perfect right out of the box. Heavy trigger but that was quickly fixed. And the lock flag had to go.

I searched online a while back and called several shops and found one finally. Once I got it I realized I didn't like the grey 3-5-7 grips in my hand, even though they looked GREAT. I sold them on Ebay as a buy-it-now for $100, they sold quick !

Call around, that's how I found mine.

I would cancel the order and get one off GB or call around to a shop that has one. I was able to find one at a shop using an internet search.

I put rubbers on all of my handguns. Keeps the gun planted to your hand when shooting and not jumping around.

I agree with you there as that same gun is my daily carry. Like your grips !

I wouldn't carry that. It costs 1K more than the exact same gun with fixed sights...the 686 7 shot. But if you're a wealthy guy and don't mind de-valuing something that has such an inflated value, then have at it.

Still looking for a new home

Sounds like a GREAT price. I wouldn't fret over porting, I would just buy it. Where can I buy it ?

Still for sale.

For sale is a Smith 696 no dash wearing Hogue Bantam grips. It has the smoothest DA trigger, very light also. I'd put the gun at 97-98%. It has a couple minor handling marks in the stainless steel...nothing that couldn't be easily buffed out. I did manage to bang the front site taking it out...

Thanks, I'm more of a S&W purist...I prefer 7 shooters like the original #1 had :) Great pair you have. I would not want to part with CS1s.

CS1 are all 6 shooters, right?
