Picked up this lightly used 28-2 and swapped out the magna grips for Thai hardwood targets.

Bought a used M&P 340 on GunBroker, then added DeSantis Clip Grips while I'm waiting on my AnR holster.
Will a Birchwood Casey alumablack pen work on the finish wear? |

Niiiiiiice...
I say leave the finish. Battle scars. Looks good on there. You'll just make more of them anyways if you carry it regularly. Although my 442 did not wear all that bad after several years of carrying. There was a little bit of wear but nothing big. Took these maybe 2 months ago.

That ought to be a handful. I took the Clip Grip off of my 442PC, got G10 magnas + a T-Grip on there and is far more comfortable. One problem with the Clip Grip is it doesn't weigh anything...and yours is on a .357 that doesn't weigh anything...

It's a bit of a nod to fashion anymore. There are great finger groove style grips available for J frames.

I just picked up the Model 64 on the bottom at my FFL today. Had the Model 65 in the middle for about 17 years and just got the Model 10 on top last year.
This makes 8 S&W revolvers for me - 4 of them K-frames. I bought all 3 of these used.  Attached File |

Couple more S&Ws this week. Both are early 2000s guns that shipped with 2 sets of grips (Ahrends wood/Hogue rubber). I put a different set of Ahrends on the 627.

Love the mountain gun. I didn't know they came blued. I think I normally see a mountain gun, stainless. Interesting.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Warhawk: The blue MG is a 29-8, I had one. I think they had some leftover frames from a run of model 29 Classics and used them to make Mountain Guns. I finally decided I couldn’t abide the lock and sold mine. My first S&W was a 686 with the IL that I sold once I found a -4. These two are my first IL guns since then. I just received a plug for the 627 and will have to decide what I want to do with the 29 since there isn't a polished blue plug available. |

I've still never found the need for a holster or finger groove grips.

Been looking at this one.
Your thoughts on it? Trigger, weight, shooting it, etc etc? What other 44's do you own and how do they compare to this one? |

The PC model gives you more recoil than the Mountain Gun. Regardless I am going to carry it this hunting season as my back-up leaving the Mountain Gun home crying. The other .44 magnums (Colt 6" Anaconda, S&W 29-3 6" nickel, S&W 29-10 4" Blue, S&W 629-4 4" Mountain Gun and S&W 629-2 8 3/8"). IMHO I think you'll be pleased. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DuneShoot: Oops, ment to quote @sea2summit and @Capt_jerry ! I really like it. Actually got in an argument in another forum about .44 vs 10mm for bear when some dude said he could put 10 rounds on target of 10mm before I could get two on with a .44. The picture I posted was actually from that. Average splits for the first round were identical to my 3-gun which surprised me with the double action I thought they’d be significantly slower (1.4-1.7...I’m not fast). Two shots in a 4.5” circle at 21 ft was averaging 2.3-2.6. I did a four shot string in 3.6 and that was really unpleasant, too much for practicing IMHO.Anyway, old boy has mysteriously disappeared from that thread 
I originally had some issues with the factory grips but no problem since getting the VZ’s on it. (After 24 rounds)  Attached File |

I have $700'ish of Cabelas gift cards I need to spend. Considering this 44 or a Henry 45-70. |

I permanently "unlocked" both of my recent N frame acquisitions.
Original Precision makes a plug to match the 627, but not the 29. I tried to blue a carbon steel one, but it ended up looking more like the case hardening on the hammer.

Well, I skipped the 870 DM that were on clearance and got this instead.
  1983 production S&W 586 no dash. Deal fell into my lap. |

 Attached FilePicked up this 686-1 at Cabela’s yesterday. I’m amazed by its trigger. I had one of the nice blues 586s with the wood grips s&w made a few years ago and it’s trigger was nice. This old 686s trigger is even better. At least out here seems like used revolvers sell for pretty cheap. Makes me wish I could afford to stack em deep right now. |
