The N grips are already sold. The K grips will end up for sale within a week or 2.

I can see the logic, which would make this a K, but the thickness difference is huge. I'm assuming the "blanks" were pretty much uniform in size. If the 5th panel shown above is standard the amount of hand fitting and sanding to reach the thickness we typically see on panels would be very...

So if I'm reading correctly the 2 pairs of K grips will be from WWII era Victory .38 Special military issue pistols. But what about the Not-K - Not-N 5th panel?

Back again with more early grip photos. This time 2 questions. Got a batch of 5 panels. 4 K and 1 Not-K. Also Not-N. The 5th panel is slightly larger than a K and slightly smaller than an N. It is also much thicker. Doesn't look like it would fit any of the top-break models either. But the...

Not sure how I missed that. Getting old.

Thank you. This batch also includes a grip set for the .44. Based on the serial number they are from a pistol manufactured in 1925, however, based on the link you supplied the grips are from an earlier year (up to 1911) It is this type of inconsistencies that make collecting and selling so much...

I shall support the cause with a new purchase.

This may seem like an odd question but in light of my interest primarily in older S&W models, should I be looking at the latest edition or can I get by with a cheap copy of an earlier edition? Do the later additions have more info on the earlier models or are the updates limited to recent new...

Is there a broad source that covers the evolution of grips for Hand Ejector revolvers? Preferably with photos? I am wondering about several points that seem to conflict. I purchased a lot of grips from the estate of a long retired gunsmith. Several sets of early wood grips were included. The...

Unlisted Bucheimer Concealer I have searched the interwebs, perused the master list and consulted with Red. I have a mystery. What pistol belongs in this holster. My membership fee hasn't posted yet so no photos for the moment. It is a C-3. Looks to be for a revolver. It is new, never used...

Feeling a bit foolish here. I ran across these grips in a box and cannot figure out what they are for. Look sort of like Sigma or M&P but they have screw holes. Also has what appears to be be a laser button recess for the middle finger or perhaps a viewing window. Very plastic. Thanks...

In my collecting adventures I have acquired a box load of B&M Visible Powder Measures. 7 of them. Looks like the guy bought a new one every 5-10 years, or maybe he collected them. Is there a web resource for collectors or users? I'm trying to figure out how old each of them is. The...

Not sure if this is the right place for the question but... I buy a bunch of older reloading equipment at auctions. I collect mostly items that are specifically related to firearms I have in the house. Example: I have several S&W break top revolvers. Which means I simply MUST have the period...

Oh Well Thank you Red, When I said "later" I was thinking in context of the first production of the Model 39. Going from that "40" being for a Mod 39 I figured it had to put the holster between 1954 (1st 39) and 1956 (when they moved). Red, you magnificent *******. I read your book!
