    After 1,000 rounds and trying different grips and front sights, I have things sorted.

    I like the idea of the 432/632 in .32 S&W. The J-frame form factor is NG for my pocket carry needs. And any gun over 12 ounces is more than I want to stuff in my pocket. I prefer flat semi-autos for...

    They are well thought out. They will be S&W's mid-tier J-frames. Will they be so popular they replace the upper tier 340s or lower tier 442/642s?

    A 432 0r 632 might make my 351c unnecessary. Especially when you compare the cost of Punch to wadcutters.

    Eagle Grips for the Python
