I am a big round guy. I am NOT recoil sensitive. The timer proves that I can place accurate rounds on target faster with the 9 than with the .40 or the .45. Since we now have 9mm hollow points that function at standard velocity, why not? I have an abiding love for old school shiny blue Smith...

I have Ergo Delta grips on all my round butt J frames, including my 642P edc. They are Glock Ugly, but really help with recoil control. They improved both my accuracy and speed on follow up shots. I'd give them a try before I sold a proven carry pistol.

BUY IT! I have a 3" and a 4". IMHO, the 3" K .357 is the best shoot & carry balance in a revolver.

THIS!!!!!!

I paid $900 for mine, blue, no box or goodies, incorrect stocks and just a JOY to shoot.

That was a worthwhile project and a great save. Thanks for taking the trouble.

Welcom, from Northern IL. That is in the 1955 range, a couple of years before model numbers were used. That's a very desirable revolver. We would love to see pics.

Many people did that 40 years ago. Solvent & an old tooth brush should bring it back to original.

My 581 is stamped 58-1!

Finger grooves are great when they fit my sausage fingers, but mostly they don't.

Depends on the size of your hands. Personally Magnas without a grip adapter are a nonstarter. Same for most finger grooved grips. K & N Targets show better results on the timer and target for me. Pachy presentations better still. YMMV

Very nice! I have a similar vintage 6" 57 with box & tools. They feel as good in hand as they look in the box.

Welcome from Northern IL (almost WI)

I would keep the Pachys. Like you, I think they just feel & point right. I would wipe it down and take it to the range. As far as a refinish goes, it is a shooter grade gun and no $s spent will change that. IF it's appearance really bothers you, and if it proves itself to the point that you...

WOW! The 68 is news to me! Right there in the Standard Catalog, just overlooked. Thanks again, for dispelling my ignorance. I LOVE this Forum.

I'm always disappointed when people brag "I carry every day", then only show up to shoot in fair weather, and NEVER practice holster work, reloads or malf clearing with gloves on. Glove season is 4-5 months here.

I had a Model A back in the '80s. Sold it in the early 90s to keep the lights on and the fridge full while between jobs. A few years ago I had a chance to replace it. I added a solid stock and a Burriss Fast Fire. It gets a work out when I take it to the range. EVERYBODY thinks it's THE fun...

I had a Glenfield in my late teens. Great little rifle. All my buddies had Nylon 66s though, so I HAD to have one, and the 60 went away. Probably my first "should have kept it" regret. Sadly, not the last.

Nice! My K snub hasn't found me yet.

So true! Most of the ones I really regretted trading away have been replaced and in most cases upgraded: 4" 10-6 eventually became a 3" 13-2, my 6" 17 became a 6" 48-2, the 4" 66 became a 4" 19-3 and a 4" 28-2 became a '56 4" Highway Patrolman. They all went away in the 80s and came back after...
