    Upgrades to my GP/MC

    Put on a set of Altamonts for grips as the Hogues didn't fit me. Also added a Novak front night sight for a clear sharp sight picture and a nice bright lamp in the night. Like the upgrades especially the Novaks.

    I hate the Houge grips for the GP100. The Lett or anything that copies them are my favorite grips for any revolver ever.

    Dr. House' New Fave grips are pretty good, too. Like a giant eraser version of the MC's NFG factory wood grip.

    I've done some simple mods to make it even better and am happy.

    Wow. The wood Hogues are one of the things I really like about the Match Champion.

    How did they not fit you? Maybe I'm missing out on something better.

    The fit wasn't comfortable. DA the rear of the grip at the top pushed my finger back so I couldn't get a proper placement on the trigger for DA shooting.

    The rest of the grip was too narrow and did not afford a consist grip in DA shooting. I like the Lett replacements for DA/SA shooting.

    The wood knocked my thumb knuckle pretty good. The rubber NFG grips are narrower there to start with (and softer - duh) but that's still one of the areas where I narrowed them up even more.

    Which Novak did you use for the front. I kinda hate the front on my MC and would like to go with something else.

    Jared: I used the .265 height at Novaks recommend. I also used the smaller of the two dots. Same size Tritium vial. Had to adjust the rear down 3 clicks for elevation, but it seems to me to mimic the old Smith Patidge front sight without the drag on leather and the Tritium is bright.

    If you order there are two sights that are the same height but the one dot is larger and fills the rear sight window more, I needed light on both side for precise shooting, as this MC is an all purpose 357. Hope this helps.

    How is the workmanship on that revolver? Is the inside of the cylinder window rough and so forth, or did they clean this model up?
