19-4 Nickel Cocobolo

[bigpurpleguy]

Mine has finger groove cocobolo (I think) grips, they look so modern, are they authentic to my gun?

It's pinned, recessed, the serial has a "B" above it, and is 02XXX.

Welcome to the forum!

That is the assembly number. The serial number is on the bottom of the butt, covered by the stocks.

Ah thank you. New dumbass obviously. I can't touch a Taurus anymore now that I have discovered the old guns.

You did wash your hands first, right?

Managed not to damage the screw! I always knew someday I'd be a grownup.

Well, really it's my Dan Wesson.

Kind of feels like a garden tool comparatively.

Here is my 19-4, with original grips.

I guess the question I am asking is even if they are aftermarket, are they chronologically correct?

No, those are recent aftermarket laminated grips. You want factory round butt magnas as seen in donadler's photo if you're looking for correct.

Thanks to both.
