    I’ve been planning on picking up a Buck 110 (3.75”) or 112 (3”) auto for quite some time.

    I'm waiting on a reply from Ken. As to the other, unlikely given that revolvers hold a very specific niche for me. Basically for walking around home and walking distance from home. The 642-1 has been pretty much perfect in that regard, though I still get tempted by the M&P 340 when I allow my mind to wander off its lead.

    I used to carry the 686+ every now and again but it's been gathering dust for a while now. Shame, really. One of these days I'll break it out of captivity. Probably once the weather cools down.

    Here's the info I got back from Ken this morning about the gun and the grips to the best of his recollection:

    I racked my brain last night on the grips and I THINK they are Eagle finger groove grips that I modified. I cut them even shorter , right up to the bottom of the frame. Being a third series (1973 to 1986) the grip frame is not full length. I also had to deepen the clearance cut for the speed loaders I used at the time. As a side note this revolver was originally nickel plated. I wore it up against my skin in my waist band. The nickel had frosted on that side . I then bead blasted the entire revolver and applied a baked on matte black firearm finish, bobbed and checkered the hammer and installed the grips. I have a Wisconsin ccw and to this day the Colt rides along. I have owned it since 1984. Probably way more info than you wanted! Lol
    I mistakenly thought that was one of Ken's dad's guns. He was a police officer and passed a few years ago. I remembered that Ken had some of his revolvers...some he held on to and some he sold...and I thought this was one of them.

    As you can probably tell, I'm very proud of Ken. He is not only a supremely gifted knife maker and former gunsmith, but one of the best people one could ever hope to call a friend.

    Went by a local shop listed on the Buck Knives site today at lunch. He had a bunch of Case inventory. May be going with a Case Mini Copperlock instead.

    If anyone is interested in a full-size Copperlock with P-F orange G10 scales, http://www.bayoucityknives.com/ He actually discontinued his relationship with Case awhile back, but has a bunch of inventory remaining, mostly special editions, etc. If he had a Mini in P-F orange, it would be in my pocket now.

    The mini Copperlock is a nice knife. I gave one away here on the forum for a deserving youngster getting his first knife. I hope he's still enjoying it. It was a yellow Delrin handled carbon steel version.

    I quite like the Copperhead and Copperlock. My Copperhead is blue bone with a Wharncliffe main blade, in stainless, and was the knife I gave myself between Afghanistan and Iraq so I could have a knife that was nice and not tactical. My Copperlock is yellow delrin with a carbon steel Wharncliffe blade. Nice knife. I gave a standard black bone mini Copperlock to my FIL years ago. Nice knives.
