After eight weeks of waiting, my T-Grips finally arrived. Very pleased now that they are now on their host revolvers. Please excuse the piss poor cell phone photography.
Range trip forthcoming as soon as our monsoon here in VA is over..

Sweet!
Did you order them direct? GB seems to be a lot faster.
The last direct order I sent in was under 3 weeks.
Damn the iPhone Typos!

NICE PAIR OF S&W 65s!
And , FWIW, over on the Smith-Wesson Forum BK Grips come highly recommended.... My guns have always had Tyler’s, but their CS and order to delivery times seem to vary considerably. YMMV.
BKs, if I recall correctly, do not come in the polished aluminum finish I wanted for the 4” M64. The retired officer I bought it from had polished the exterior and he must have had a duty action job done on it. The DA trigger is exceptionally smooth but not light.Originally Posted by Det1397
I suspect that Fred Schmidt did the work. He was a local pistol smith who did a lot of revolver work back in the day.
The 3” M65 got a brushed aluminum one which BK, I believe, does not offer.
The order was mailed on March 20 and the check was cashed on March 26th. I called to check in late April about the order. No answer. I sent a text on May 7th and got a reply within five minutes. The person that responded told me that he had been in hospital and his son was working to get 500 units shipped out.
Definitely an old school way of doing business but I am happy with the results.
That M64 is now set up exactly like my last issued one from years ago. I intend to wear it to work on my last day on the job if I have a choice.

What an excellent idea!

I have both. IIRC, the BK Grips website shows what’s in stock. He ships quickly.

Outstanding! Half of mine a few years back!
They couldna been nicer folks though. I didn't mind.

Took both of my 3 inchers to the range this AM - the M65 depicted above and my only N Frame - an ugly as hell shooter grade Lew Horton M29-3.

This happened - posted in reloading forum:
Put M29 away and got out M65. After about 25 rounds, the revolver seized up. Removed rounds and no change. No rubbing on forcing cone. Not a good day in revolver land today...
