Yup.

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…
.
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.

I don't remember if I played already, so I'll play again:

CCW- 3" Model 13 or Model 65
Target practice/training- 4" Model 10 or Model 64

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.
