Default Want to put Magna grips on my M43C

To add a bit of retro class for one thing and reduce the size a bit for pocket carry. Being a .22lr, recoil isn't an issue and the factory rubber grips are kinda ugly in comparison to the wood Magnas.

Two questions though: 1) Will the Magnas fit this frame? and, 2) What size hex is needed to remove the factory rubber grips?

I WILL be leaving the rubber grips on my M442, I'm not going to trade (more), pain for that particular relvolver to look better. There is a limit here. LOL

Thanks for any help.

Wet

The answer to the first part is yes, they will fit just fine on your 43C, as they will on any j-Frame. As to what size hex, I couldn't say. I have a small gunsmith set of screw head and hex drivers, I found the appropriate ones for both screws and hex heads and marked the spot they go in the case with a Sharpie.

Correction to my above post to @wetdog1911: At a closer look is a 3/32" hex head driver needed.
