I was finally able to find a K frame snub I could afford. The bluing isn’t perfect on the right side, but I don’t care. The grips are original, and number to the gun. They look perfect I honestly think something might have been spilled on the side plate. The spot is about there size of the end...

I have a model 642 with magna grips, and a BK grip adapter. I really want as set of Grashorn elk grips, but I don’t know how well they hold up to carry use. Just want know if they would hold up as well as wood. And since I’m here everyone might as well torture me with pictures of J frames with...

I just got my Lobo leather shoulder holster today, and it is great. Kudos for his work. The man makes a great a great and well thought out holster. My holster is made for a four inch model 15 with a speed loader pouch on the off side. If you are looking for a shoulder rig give this one a try.

First off sorry I don't own a camera so no pictures. My dad last weekend gave me my grandfathers first handgun. He said that since I'm the oldest and remember him the best I deserve the gun. To say that I was shocked at this treasure being bestowed upon me would be an understatement. It...
