Good Gun

Older run (see beveled edges on the front of the cylinder?) Mountain gun by Smith and Wesson; still older young mammoth tooth from a Florida spring courtesy of Joe Hutto. Backdrop is a Kazakh wall hanging from Olgii, probably between them in age....
It-- the revolver-- needs good wooden grips and a tanker holster.

How lovely.

I had this guy make grips for several of my S&Ws (and a Hi-Power); he was in Bay City, OR back then. I would expect his work is still outstanding.

His boot grips on my 640 and 940 turn them into a natural extension of your hand -- which is hard with a 5-shot J-Frame.

I have had good luck with Herrett in the old days (my .22 Smith ca. 1950 has Herretts-- remind me to email) and Eagle. I think the last generation was better with the Herretts,but Eagle (Raj Singh) is still good.

I second the Craig Spegel Boot Grips on the MG. I have them on mine--excellent. They are smaller than standard grips but fit my large hand with medium length fingers very well. Not for stout loads however. If you are interested in a chest rig, look at Diamond D's rendition--the best I have seen or used.
