I got some Hogue grips for my 627 Tracker. Folks hate Taurus, but man, I am really fond of this .357 mag revolver. She's 7-shot, factory ported, and a pleasure to shoot.

I got some Hogue grips for my Taurus M66. This is another 7-shot .357mag. I'm really fond of this one too. It's very accurate, and IMO built like a tank. If you search the YT, Ar15.com of all folks did a review on a stainless M66.

I've posted these things before, but I think I'm finally done messing with them. Barrels were shortened and set back to get the cylinder gap at a tad over 0.004. One got it's yoke stretched out a bit. Home bead blast job. I gave up on finding wood grips that I like so cheap Hogues for now. Me and my son took them out and beat on them pretty good. I think I've got the sights pretty well regulated. It's not often I don't dick something like this up good so I'm happy to present the finished result here to arf:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MRW: I like those... very much. I NEED to find someone in central florida to cut an M10 down to 3" for me I'm sure there are gunsmiths out there that can do that kind of work but there sure aren't many advertising. It's probably a lot more lucrative to knock new sights into glocks and install rails on AR's I guess. Someday I'd like to get an FFL and tinker with revolvers for more than a hobby. If you get someone local to do it, it might be worth it to supply them with the sight vs going the route I did. Machining the sight and dovetailing it in was the bulk of the work. Someone with a dovetail cutter and an already finished sight could knock it out a lot quicker. I was showing the smith up the road who did the transfers how they turned out and mentioned what a PITA the sights were and he says "shit I have every type of dovetail cutter you could ever want ...why didn't you ask"

Today's acquisition
 Very nice double action trigger. Didn't have any magnums with me but she is a sweet shooter with my Skeeter level specials. Will see how she does with magnums next weekend.  Attached File |

Todays acquisition. S&W Model 19-5. 95% shape, very slight holster wear near the muzzle, very lite cylinder stop line.
Perfect bore, perfect grips. Grips have the speedloader cut-out. No scratches, no nicks, no rust. In my early days as law enforcement, my issued gun was a 6 in model 19. Everyone else got a 4 in. Or a S&W model 59 (bleck  )

I've got to get a revolver family pic for this thread. In the meantime, the last "bargain" revolver I picked up was an Astra Police 3" This gun is great. Nice shooting, pinned and recessed and not much beats a heavy 3" revolver for looks.
 For $250 out the door, it was an excellent value. I see revolvers most usuallyat or over $1k in shops all the time which makes me value my Smith Collection, but disappointing I don't find bargain revolvers much anymore at shops. |

A little update on a couple of my Pythons. The newer 3” stainless got a new set of Williams sights, red fiber optic and U shaped rear sight notch. I also found a set of new/old stock Colt Pachmeyers. It’ll be my woods gun, riding ina DeSantis leather pancake holster. The older blue 2” just got a set of stags.
