I'll play. There is something about a round butt shorty that drives wild.

OK, I'm in . . .
A 1964 Nickle plated Model 36 no dash that I got last year . . .
Shoots good too! This was the first target is shot . . . 148 grain wadcutters, standing/unsupported, into a 1" black square at 10 yards. Needless to say, this one's a KEEPER!

Would anyone care to comment on the variations we see in the pictures? I see three distinct variations. "Flat" with ends that taper down at both ends, Flat which seem consistent (or non beveled), and the "flat" ones which are slanted front to back. Does it depend on gun model, or age or what?
Thanks for the great pictures everyone.
Dave

I picked up this S&W model 12 flat latch today.
It's a Police trade in.
It came with "N" frame target grips! Just when you think you've seen it all.
I had these old grips. They seem to fit well.

Yeah . . . and the Diamond stocks . . .
It's always real nice to come across a nice ol' Smith!
Here's another photo of my M36 no dash . . . with all numbers matching. She's a purdy little thing, and sitting on an LP record of the same era. Somehow, I'll bet ol' "Jumbo" would approve. What a great N'Yalin's trumpeter he was! Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he toted one himself, back "in the day!"

And from South of the Border (down Mexico way) comes my nice old Model 49 dressed up with a Tyler-T.
And my wife's bobbed Model 60 (which is NOT a flat-latch) dressed up with Crimson T's.
