Just noticed that M1A in the post just above has the same ones on his J frame!! For some reason I don't see that many of them on posts here.

I like the Eagle grips. They are close by, and I just bop over and he puts them on for me. Nice guy.
How do you like mags thru the snubby?
Sent you a PM.
Wow, that is cool...being able to stop by the shop and have them put on!!! Yes, I had seen them advertised forever, but put off actually trying a set. I saw some on eBay just at the right time, as I was getting this revolver. Glad I did, now I can see the quality.
Well, this 640-1 is twice the weight of my 340 PD, so the recoil is not as brutal. In my 340, I like to carry the 135 gr Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel .357 magnum. It is specifically loaded for these little guns, and I find that there is significantly less recoil than with the full house loads and 158 gr bullets.
So, from this heavier gun it is much milder.
Problem is, I have not been able to find the round offered for a couple of years!!! And when it was, it was very expensive. I did find the 38 +P version at a very attractibpve price, and stocked up on those as a fail safe. Also stocked up on the bullets themselves the last time that Midway had them in stock, so I can always load some of my own.
Short answer, got to find a load that is reasonable, or it is still unpleasant even with the greater mass.
Best Regards, Les
