2 inch M&P with John Hurst grips

[R89074]

This 2 inch M&P shipped April 1950. The grips were crafted by John Hurst and are signed by him. The ammo carrier from Don Hume.

Do those grips cover the backstrap?

Backstrap of grip open. Great old school, any school carry setup. KUDOs to you!

Bet that's a slick shooter

I generally dislike Nickel-plated guns and two-inch K-Frames are not at all appealing to me, but with the Hurst grips, that one is freakin' BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful wheelgun.

I so wish somebody (VZ???) would reproduce the Hurst grips. Probably the very best duty grips ever on S&W. That 1960s - 70s time frame must've been magical at LAPDs Firearms Training with John Hurst, Fuzzy Farrant and Guy Hogue all on staff there and all making great service grips.

Someone posted an order form for Farrant in the mid-60s awhile back. If I remember correctly, a set of combat revolver grips in today's money would be around $350 or so, just adjusted for inflation alone.

My guess... closer to $500.

I spend way too much time looking at auction sites for Farrant, Hurst, Rogers, and Herrett stocks.

The right stocks on your revolver back in the day is essentially equivalent to having Boresight Solutions re-work your Glock grip today. Expensive, but the difference it makes in the way you can shoot the handgun is so massive that it's worth it. Especially if you're stuck to that revolver. Hurst and Farrant were pretty much top of the pops for replacement stocks.
