Are those coyote/desert sand/khaki grips still a readily obtainable item? Or luck of the draw on eBay?

 

[Baxter6551]

I'll jump in. They are very addicting.

This is the Gina Lollobrigida of J Frame pics. Everything else is a wanna-be. Sorry to have to tell you all that. I keep mine in my pocket for good luck.

From the amount of lint on that gun, it looks like it spends a lot of time in your pocket.

There are some nice J frames above. Here are a few of mine. Until a few years ago I thought J frames needed an external hammer. Now I think the Centennial is the bomb.

Here are three "Baby Chiefs" - one of each sight variation, 1/2 round, non-serrated, and serrated.

 

[rubiranch]

Shipped April 12, 1995, currently wearing S&W Combat Grips
and riding in a Galco shoulder holster, my 640-1 .357 Magnum.
The first Smith & Wesson I ever bought.
NIB, I paid $400 for it back on May 11, 2008.
I bought it with my stimulus money.
It was my EDC up until Aug 2014 when my brother's 642-1 BUG
replaced it as my new EDC.








This is my 642-1.

My brother purchased it new back in 2008 with the $400 I gave
him for my 640-1.



He gave me the 642-1 and this 28-2 shortly after he retired from LE.

 

[JAREDSHS]

My 637 Chief with old fbi loads.

 

[pasound]

My little family. Models 38, 36, 637-2, 60, and 60-15.

 

[JH1951]

.... and here is a pair of Chiefs Special Target models.
The blue one is from the 1959 batch of 198 units and likely shipped in 1961, It is not model marked, so it is a pre-model 36 and/or 50.
The stainless one is a Mod. 60-1 Ashland Target, manufactured in 1985 during the 'Lear Siegler Co.' ownership. It is said that there were 660 of them made, and other reports suggest about 1000 were produced.

Lots of nice J-frames posted here. I only have 3 J-frames and 1 wannabe (New I-Frame in .32 S&W Long).

All 4 together:

641-2

NYPD Baby Chief

Model 32-1 - .38 S&W

Pre-Model 30 - .32 S&W Long

 

[JH1951]

Here is a pair of four-screw, often referred to as the 'Model of 1953'. These sport the larger 'improved' trigger guard, slightly longer grip handle, and loss of the forward most screw. They pre-date the Model 36 nomenclature. The finish on the left one is satin, and the right one is high polish. (Both have a coat of Ren Wax, so the difference is not overly obvious.) Notice the slight difference in the flat-latches, too, as a change took place somewhere between the manufacture of the two.
