Model 10 Grips

[Joe F]

I recently bought a set of used "K-frame" grips for my 1979 Model 10. They don't seem to fit very well. The wood is "hanging over" the metal at the top and on the forward side of the grip. Is it possible that these are actually N-frame grips?

Yes, those are N frame stocks.

They look like N frame grips to me. I am not 100% sure, somebody else will be along shortly to confirm. They are in pretty decent shape and look good though. May be just the reason to buy another gun, maybe a 28.

Thanks, I suspected that. I'll probably hang on to them since they're in really nice shape.

If you actually want correct stocks for your nice nickle Model 10, you need to find the PC variety with the rounded bottom.

Here are a couple pictures:

I'm sure you can find some on eBay.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for some PC's

Life would have been simpler had S&W used the same grip frame for both N- and K-frames.

Don't forget to check the accessories for sale on this forum. I just got this pair for my Model 10-4 on this forum.

I may be able to help you out, PM me if you're interested.

Just curious, what is "PC"? It's not "Performance Center", is it?

 

[JP@AK]

"Plain clothes" is a nickname. The factory referred to them as "modified Magna" stocks. But to most of us, they are simply PC (and it does not mean "politically correct!")

What a great opportunity to go out & buy a model 28!

But, they were using their noggins when they designed the L frame!
