Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By shack357: Very nice classic! The oversize cylinder makes it look like a .22 with nothing else for scale! I also have a Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 in .357, which has a cylinder that's actually a hair larger, but the Colt is a bit larger overall. S&W Model 28 cylinder diameter 1.710" length 1.655" Colt Shooting Master cylinder diameter 1.696" length 1.619" It currently wears Herrett's Shooting Star grips, but I'm going to try a set of the Thai-made Magnas with a BK Grips adapter, to see if they fit my small hands better.

I put a set of Magnas from World Wide Grips in Thailand, and a BK Grips grip adapter on my Model 28-2. It previously had a set of Herrett's Shooting Stars but since I have small hands wanted to try something different. They feel good while dry firing but of course live fire will be the acid test. They fit the gun well and are nicely made.

Has anyone else come across Silvercreek yet? It slipped past me during the annual SHOT coverage threads I guess. Probably the most radical departure from the DA revolver archetype since the Chiappa. Fixed frame DA with gain twist rifling, 100% U.S. manufacturer. Not my cup of tea, but interesting nonetheless. These would've been a game changer in the heyday of IHMSA.

Since putting new grips on my Model 28 I decided that I want to pack it in the woods. For me, the US M3 shoulder holster is the most comfortable way to do so. I have one from the now-defunct Pacific Canvas and Leather that fits K-Frames and my Ruger Police Service Six, but is too small for an N-Frame. So, 10 days ago I ordered a 1942 Tanker holster from El Paso Saddlery and it arrived today.
Yes, I'm a southpaw.  Attached FileIt's nice with high quality leather, hardware, and stitching. EPS threw in the key fob. |

Got the Model 13 parts installed on a Model 10 frame. It's an old California Dept of Corrections gun that had a cracked forcing cone.
Went from a 4 " heavy barrel square butt 38spl. to a 3" round butt 357 mag. Grips are Altamont boot grips   |

Picked these two up last week.
64 that's had the bbl shortened and the hammer bobbed. The older Pachmayrs were cracked and pretty beat up, so I put this new(er) set on. The 686-4 is really in great shape and looks like it's not been fired much at all. I put these older Eagle round-butt conversion grips on it because I loved the grain. I'll try them both out at the range later on today.  Attached File Attached File |
