That rates an A.
Add a grip adapter for the A+!

What is the idea with these adapters? My big old hands don't seem to need them, but I may be missing something!

And they do!! Very nice...
I would need more bottom end grip than front, but we all come in different sizes.

…This is my idea of an adapter.
Very nice! Can you conceal that?!
My idea, not on a 44 S&W Special but on my S&W Model 625-6,
This should give you a good idea of how it will look. While this is not my edc, it is an adjustable sight version.

In the looks dept it’s definitely a winner. How’s the balance and shooting with those grips?
Every hand is different. My similar sized mountain gun with round butt operates best in my hands with a pachmayr grip which covers the backstrap. Looks awful but shoots and feels great. Mostly for me it’s a balance thing. Different grips will give a different balance feel. The same grips on a heavier barreled N frame don’t shoot and balance as well for me.

The stainless revolver in my post is a Mountain Gun with rb/sb conversion stocks.

I feel your pain!
But, my 624 is/was a sub $1K gun just recently, pretty sure I paid more for my 29.
When I get nervous looking at the checkbook, I sell one of the guns I was in love with way back when, so if prices keep going up, I'll probably die with an H&R 732 (which I love btw)
Beautiful piece that deserves real stag grips.
Like it. I have a set of faux stags from JayScott on my Dad’s Colt OP. I like the retro look.

There's absolutely no reason to own a M24 in .44 Special considering the M29 does all that AND much more, yet, with decent hand loads the .44 Special delivers ample mid-range power in a lighter, leaner, more elegant looking package compared to the more brutish "shoulders" of the M29!

Those would look great on my 4” 24-3. Good catch!,
There are a ton of us that don't want to carry the extra weight of a M29 or M629. A warm loaded .44 Special will handle the majority of my handgunning needs.
