Default Greetings From Oregon

I am a Medically Retired LEO. Though I primarily used polymer framed semi autos, originating in a country near Germany, I much prefer S&W revolvers. I have an M&P .38 from 1948 in the box. A 27-2 and 27-3, both 5 inch. My main carry is a 2.5 inch model 66-3. I am trying to find a Tyler T Grip for the 66, and any help would be appreciated!

Ohio knows rock n' roll and football. I play bass in two bands. I had a year of college football but was bitten by the injury bug.

Good to know! I didn't want to violate any forum rules on my first day. I'll wait until tomorrow for that

That's about 120 miles east from Jackson Tennessee where I live.

As for the Tyler, hard to find and spendy when you do. We have a member here who makes them out of bowling ball like material in black and a kind of cream color. Google BK grips and you'll find him. Better prices and delivery times, by far. If you're stuck on metal, Robertson's Trading Post has some in aluminum, I think. Again, available and affordable. I have both and am very happy with both.

Hmmm. Bass player and college football? Think I might see a connection between you two.

Former Oregon resident and LEO, now in free Idaho. Oregon became too stupid to live in. Gun laws here in Idaho are much better. There's still room here- you'll like it better.

Welcome to the Forum from South of Houston!

Yes you can find grip adapters at Robertson Trading Post but they are not always in stock, looks like now all they have are aluminum adapters for J frame round butt. I bought a brushed aluminum K frame round butt adapter a year and a half ago from RTP for my 3" M64-3 and it really feels great, I also have an adapter on a M36, there is definitely a reason why they were popular back in the day

I really like Idaho, and would have moved years ago. Still have some elderly family that can't move, so we'll be here a bit longer.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina.

I like Smith revolvers too. I carried a model 15 for my first nine years and a 19-4 for the remaining twenty-four years on-the-job.

I may have what you're looking for. I think they came with a model 19 RB I purchased years ago. I'll take a look and get back to you if I do.

Welcome to a fine forum.

You have to really like dairy cows, the smell of fresh cut hay and the flatulence.
