Thanks all! The Service Grips look like the answer, though those custom Herretts sure look tempting!

I'm looking for the smallest possible grips available for a .38 Colt Diamondback. Right now, it sports some Pachmayr Compacs (the kind with the pinkie cutout). But my wife, who's using it as her HD gun, would like something even smaller (she has "dainty" little hands). I suggested to her...

Absolutely beautiful! Do you know the manufacturer of the front sight?

Very interesting. Kinda gives me hope for this cartridge! :) The shooter said he used a RN bullet. I wonder how it would have been if he used a WC or SWC... Thanks for the link!

Anyone know what the going price is on doing these conversions? I'm only interested in the conversion itself, and not the refinish.

Thanks, all, for the advice. While I haven't done any personal research on the ballistics numbers, from what I've read here in this thread, I'm somewhat discouraged. I guess my S&W 31 should be relegated to that of a "dog walking gun"....

Excuse my ignorance, as I am completely new to this caliber.... ...but you can shoot .32 ACP out of a .32 S&W Long??? Doesn't the ammo casing need to have a rim?

As the title indicates, I'm looking for a good self defense round for the .32 S&W Long. While I wouldn't necessarily call the caliber a "powerhouse" round, I also don't believe it falls into the category of a "mousegun" caliber. With my mouseguns in .32 ACP and .25, I use strictly FMJ...

MrBorland, Thanks for the link. Good read, and an exellent site! I've already forwarded it to my neighbor.

Cosmo, While I would agree (to a certain extent) that long arm would be optimal, her father is firm on a handgun. rd, Sounds like you and I are on the same boat. He, too, is looking for a K-frame, but will most likely end up with an SP101 (my recommendation) in .357. He'll load...

I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on this, as my neighbor and I have been debating this for some time. A job transfer is forcing his eldest daughter to pack up and leave for another state. This is the first time she'll be out on her own. He's decided that he wants to send her off with some...

Thanks all! I appreciate the advice and insight. Needless to say, I'll be reallocating some of my "gun fund" money into a "new front door" fund. I, too, am aware of the vulnerability of windows. However, I am approaching this particular discussion from the viewpoint of a home invasion. I was...

The front door to our house is one of those double entry doors. As with most double entry doors, one door is considered the 'active" door, or one that is regularly used to enter and exit. The other door is considered "inactive", and usually remains closed (unless the need to move large items in...

I may have to move the all future Ruger purchases to the top of my wish list! :what:

Is there any truth to the rumor that Ruger will be adding locks to their SP and GP series revolvers?

Thanks, everyone, for all the great suggestions. Last night, I tool some very coarse grit sandpaper to the grips, and scuffed them up until I got the desired "gripiness" I was looking for. I'm pretty happy with the results. :) I was talking to fellow shooter at the range last night who...

I just outfitted my S&W 642 with a Barami Hip Grip. I love everything about them, with the exception of one thing...the slick feel of the plastic. Any Hip Grip users here that have come up with unique ways to remedy this? :confused:

Anyone use an extra length firing pin on their wheelguns? Cylinder & Slide is offering one for S&Ws with frame-mounted firing pins, claiming that it improves firing pin strike to ensure a consistent and reliable ignition. I guess my question really is...are light strikes on wheelguns a...

2.5" 66 or 3" 65LS Which one? Why? I ask because I'm thinking about moving away from a pistol (currently a USPc) to a wheelgun, and am deciding between the two for my "primary" carry piece. I know many will say...."alternate between the two", which I very well may do. But I'd like to...
