Nice gun. There are already alot of threads about wood grips. Many good places to buy wood grips. Also, you could pick up a set of grips at a gun show. It would look nice with a good pair.
Yeah, gman51...I have read the same. Although I think it is mostly the lighter, hotter magnum rounds that supposedly cause issues. I may occasionally shoot a few magnum rounds in it, but mostly just .38 Specials or +Ps.
The "before" photos are already posted above. I will post the "after" photos when I get her back.
