New to world of revolver's (18-4)

I'm going to have to find someone in my area so I can try the target grips out.

I feel T grips make the weapon 'sit in the hand' better. However, they are too large for some folks.

If T grips don't work for you, an alterative is the Tyler grip adapter.

After doing some more research I came across the companion for the Model 18 as all of you may know the Model 15 and now I want one to pair up with my Combat Masterpiece. I found some below and was wondering if that was a good price? How easy would it be to reblue one.

Smith & Wesson Model 15, 38Spl 4in, DAO. Very good condition

Did you notice that the 15s you reference at double action only?

That's fine if you are a DAO fan, but I like to be able to cock the hammer and squeeze off one every now and then.

I would not spend money to reblue a DAO, unless you intend to keep it forever. Around here pistol bluing cost is 150-250.

Thanks bobelk99 I guess your right about the DAO, and I wasn't to sure on the cost of bluing. I'll keep looking.

 

[bobelk99]

I guess your right about the DAO,

There is no right or wrong on DAO. I just wanted to make sure you noticed that.

On the Internet you can find shops that advertise bluing at $95.

I only offer my opinion. Hopefully some more knowledgeable members will join in the discussion.

I buddy on mine that does work on S&W's changed out my trigger spring for a lighter one. The DA is so much smoother now and I'm hitting nickel size groups. I love this 18.

Excellent! I got old eyes...I don't think I could do that!

Fantastic! I'll have to buy a new set of prescription shooting glasses to keep up.

Well quarter size today. My buddy gave me some of his old target grips.
