The grips are OEM Hogue.
Yes, I have the stainless one too, but they also make a black steel option. the "ultralite" is the aluminum frame option  |

yes, and a wee bit smaller than a K-frame. It's really growing on me. With that bright front sight too...

Talked the father in law into a black taurus 3" when he thought he wanted a snub 357 to wear around the farm. He has huge mitts and I told him he would only shoot a couple 357 before swearing off it. He had a bunch of bass pro gift cards he needed to burn. I need to get over to his house and shoot it to see how it is. Was on my radar for a while as an upgrade carry gun to a j frame.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By backbencher: We need someone to make a S&W compatible frame w/ no lock. That's actually a brilliant idea. I wonder why Powers never did that? Same with single actions. People spend a ton of money replacing everything but the frame on Blackhawks. |

Not quite 3", rather it's 2.75". My new to me 1982-vintage Speed Six from Robertson Trading Post via Gunbroker and my local FFL:
 Attached File Attached FileAs-purchased it wore a set of ill-fitting Sile rubber combat grips that were meant for a Security or Service Six (square butt). After I ordered the gun I found a set of NOS Pachmayr Compacs for the Speed Six on eBay for under $20 shipped. They look and fell much better than the Siles. The gun is really clean and appears to have hardly been used. The action is quite good for a Ruger so it may have been dry fired a bit. It should be a real nice gun for .38 Special. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Papposilenus: those are so cool Thanks. I've been wanting one for awhile now and it seemed like every time I was ready to buy one they weren't available. But, Ruger must have done another run of them around the beginning of the year and they started popping up in-stock so I had my local fun store grab one for me. Just put a Pachmayr Diamond Pro grip on it. Definitely more hand filling but pretty tacky, so I'm not sure it would be the best choice for concealment.

Added another 3" S&W to my collection this past weekend - S&W 29-4
Made in 1989, just a little over 2500 made. It had all rubber Pachmayr grips from the factory - not the ones it has now.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CFletch: BK grip adaptors are a lot easier to find, and I like mine I ordered something akin to both for my j frame just to give it a try Really thinking about it on my 686 L frame. I havent quite figured out what I want to put on them. The size of the stock hogues are really nice for the guns length. I might end up trying some panel and tyler t type grips out for the L frame too |
