If you had to construct a revolver battery

[Tamara]

Yup.

(Nothing about the 5-screw pre-25 above it? I'm wounded. )

Last time I picked up a T-grip, I ordered direct from Tyler. It was like going back in time. No credit cards. No online store. The only thing missing was the order form on a match book cover.

Yeah. Last time I ordered, I spoke with his wife (complete with two screaming young 'uns in the background). I had to pre-pay… with a check. Made me go LOOK for some checks, and eventually had to filch one from the household account.

DB, while I would suggest you call them and get one on order (and don't hold your breath until it arrives), I would also strongly suggest you continue looking for an older one, and grit your teeth and pony up the bucks when you do find one. The last ones I got from Tyler were not anywhere near the fit/finish/quality of some older ones I have.

Apparently, when the old man passed there was a family cat-fight over who got the business. Either a son or nephew ended up with it, and the product and availability have been spotty ever since. This may have improved; my information is over a year old. I certainly hope so, because there will always be a need for these things.

There was a guy on the S&W Forum who was offering cast resin copies of the old Pachmyar adapter. Dunno anything else about them, and in truth putting a cast resin grip adapter on a classic M-27 would brand one a heretic in some circles… but it might do for shooting until you can locate a real one.

Just trying to help…

Color me jealous; truly.

The pre-25 is indeed nice; but we're talking old-school gunfighting hardware here. When the talk turns to target shooting, THEN you'll see some moisture regarding the pre-25…

Nothin' but love here.

So, going through my daily browsing session of gunbroker for revolvers I can't afford, I came across a S&W 325PD. I was already familiar with the 329PD and was excited to see a .45. Then I think, ok... 325PD, 329PD, I wonder if there's a 327PD.
Yup.
I'd like one of each please. Unfortunately it appears only the 329PD is readily available. I think it would be cool to have the full set of scandium N-frame PDs.

ETA: also a 351PD, why not.
Something about that frame/cylinder combo with the wood grips makes me happy, lol.

My revolver battery is made up of the customs I've had built over the years. They either represent something I couldn't find (afford) or something S&W never made in the exact configuration I wanted.

Concealed Carry

681 made into a 3" RB with custom Novak front sight and converted to DAO.

Home Defense, Desert/Mountain Hiking

4th Model Hand Ejector 44 Target with later cut down barrel, fine bead-blast blue, stocks from Grashorn.

45 ACP carbon steel Mountain Gun, from a M25-2 with a tapered 1950 barrel installed. Round butted, tuned, fine bead-blasted & blued.

Competition & Target Shooting

45 Cal Model of 1955 (pre-M25) custom cut to 5". Ramp properly pinned to the rib, front sight pinned to the ramp. Stocks are old, hand checkered Harretts.
