Damn, I love this thing

[Dagga Boy]

Most know my deep seated love of the 3.5" N frame .357 Magnum. My 27-2 is sort of a constant TV watching companion. I have been messing around with various stocks and I am going to order up a set of finger groove Ahrends to try. I figured I would post a pic in its current state. The factory smooth presentation Magna's (yes Tam, those are for you as most of the heathens won't get it) don't fit it really well so they will be alternates to the Elk Stag Grashorns on my Highway Patrolman. I honestly hope that I get to a place in life where this gun in a Sloan holster will be daily wear and I don't feel the need for the soulless polymer counter robbery pistol.

You might consider giving these a try.

They're my go-to shooting grips for my N Frames, very comfortable and a nice price point.

Wow...that...is...awesome.

I get this, I really do, but one thing would stop me from carrying that as a primary: the thought of some house mouse tossing it on a shelf in evidence if I had to blast a gang banger with it. Now as a Chicago PD backup to a soulless piece of plastic that could languish in evidence forever, yes.

Thanks Trooper. Anything with a covered backstrap is going to be too big. I know the standard Ahrends fit perfect, and I just got a set of J frame Ahrends with finger grooves that fit perfect, so it is worth the risk. Size wise, I actually do well with factory Magna's. Unfortunately, this set doesn't match up well with the frame of this gun, but they fit a couple of much older N frames really well.

Hambo...If the day comes that I am carrying this as a primary, I hope to be living in a place where "Nice work, seems like that feller needed shooting" is a use if force investigation.....:-). I will never be living in a socialist utopia city again.

Like I said, they don't fit this ones frame real well. I do have the Pahmayer adapter that works with both the Grashorn Stags and the Presentation Magna's on the Model 28. I am actually kind of neutral on the grip adapters. I have several, but don't really "need" them like the folks with the bigger hands.

It was worth a shot. We have the same but different problem. Magna's on N frames don't work at all for me, although I do need to get a set for this gun just to go in the box. K and L frames are too small for me unless an oversized grip is used. I do have a pair of Grand Blue finger grooves with a covered backstrap on my Model 14 that work well, but the Ahrend's sound like the ticket for you. If I could only keep one handgun my 3.5 inch 27 just might be it.

I am right there with you on "if I could only have one", this may be it. Like I said, it would be nice at some point in life to be somewhere where my 27-2 as a carry gun and my 49-2 as a pocket gun were plenty.....someday.

Yep, we have the opposite problem. Get with me on PM's for K&L stuff...I have some big stuff in the grip box.

You just described living in most of Montana.
