K frame grips?

[Willard]

The scallop not cut deep enough?

This reminds me that I need to get a couple speed loaders. Or at least a couple speed strips.

I think that's the issue and that grip panel wasn't thin enough that area.

Something to remember about grip fit to frame on pre-CNC S&W products: there are variations in final actual shape of the grip frame, and wood or rubber or nylon are easier and cheaper to mod than steel, so sometimes you’ll get an aftermarket grip that doesn’t perfectly match your particular grip frame. That isn’t always because the grip maker didn’t do a good job, but it isn’t more likely because their example frames of that size don’t match yours.

I’ve found that some patience and a fine file or dowel wrapped in fine emery paper usually resolve the situation when the grip is proud, and returning and trying something else, or someone else’s product works when the steel is what is proud.

I have one K frame that has a slightly different witness pin location than all of the others. It can be very difficult to swap grips with that one. I picked a set of grips for it, and opened the witness pin hole a little bit so that I can remove them more easily when needed.

These look pretty good. I might take a shot at them as the bidding gets close to an end:

These might also work well with the aforementioned grip adapter. Only $21 presently. I also might throw a bid on:

And these might also work well with an adapter. I like the very old school look although my 10-7 isn't that old school:

Speaking of factory style panels these look like they'd work well if I had found an original 2" barrel and wanted to basically restore the revolver to "as issued" condition:

I've never much cared for altamonts.

Those top grips look like they come from a m19 carry comp. The finger groves dont fit me very well. Their panels are to thin for me as well.

It should be tolerable with .38s, maybe

The Eagle Secret Service looks fairly thin. But it is hard to tell just from a photo(s). Hopefully the Badgers without the finger grooves will work well for me. Sort of a snub/round butt version of the old Jordan grips.

I gotta be careful with this project. It is pretty easy to get lost down the rabbit hole.
