Got the twin in two tone from Buds and love it.

Either grips will work as long as it has back strap coverage. Also you might want to look into Tuffs speed strips. Alot cheaper than speedloaders and will work great. Midway USA has them for cheap.

I have shot my 327NG without problem. Just in case I buy one that does not work, is there a do it your self instruction to replace the firing pin?

I have mostly stainless Smiths and clean the front of the cylinder with Flitz, just to make it look clean to me. Personal preference...Today I shot my NightGuard with the blackened stainless cylinder and wondered what would be a safe cleaner that would return it to the "clean" look.

I have several Smiths and for years have polished them. They shoot alot better when shined.

As one poster mentioned Altamont grips, I called them...Talked to the person "in charge". These grips do not exist anymore... We can make new one somewhat like them and for only $62. I asked the obvious question as to why they went from $48 to $62. He explained to me that they were never $48...

Thats odd, thats what I did 5 days ago. Today I got the mail saying back ordered. Talked to Smith and they said they were in a warehouse and had no idea when they could get them. Have already gotten passed this and found another approach. Thanks for your post.

Just got my mail...Instead of the grips got a card saying they are back ordered. Called and canceled order. Will wait for Midway USA to get them.

Just got off phone w/ Smith and they have more and sending me one set. I have several short barreled Smiths and I am sure I will try them on all to get the "best" fit/look...Thanks for the post.

Sorry forgot to mention, if this works OK I am going to get the 325. I see that also has the FP problem, but once corrected it is a great shooter. I will let you know about that one also.

Pick it up tomarrow...Hopefully will be shooting soon after. Will let you know. I assume I will have to get the firing pin fixed as alot of them have this problem and Smith seems to have trouble getting ahead of the curve. We will see.

Just a follow up post...Well I now have both the 627 4" and the 327 NightGuard. Got the 627 first and just ordered the 327 today. The .357 collection is starting to grow again. Thanks for all the input/help.

I have also come to believe it will definately work in 357 guns, in fact much better than using 38 Specials in the 357. I think a modern day 38 Special made like the 360 (with Scandium and Stainless cylinder) as WC has modded is fine, but I am not sure with the pressure difference between the 38...

I've been using 8 grains of Unique with that bullet and is very nice. I still have 8 pounds of 700X so I will load a bunch of those. Thanks

I had a 648 6 inch and traded it to a friend years ago. I have asked a thousand times if he would trade back. Answer is strong no. The amazing thing is it is still unfired. I think I will call him today and see if he has weakend any.

WC, did you happen to shoot any 38 Supers in it prior to your mod? My 38 ammo fits nicely into the cylinder, but have not shot it yet.

But, enjoy your shooting. I landed a Ultimate Stainless with factory Magna Porting and great wood grips and of course the 3 inch barrel. Let us know your best load.

Just to keep beating this subject...I found a report by Ed Sanow who conducted an extensive review of this subject and yes you can do this. His comment was interesting to me that instead of using 38+P in a 357 you can use the 38 Super and get much more power, less muzzle flash, and better...

Because of the Scandium, mine is loaded with +P+.

Bob, where would I find one???
