Did S&W make pre-war grips for round butt k-frames? Thanks

Just purchased a new 1911, as I understand it manufactured by BUL in Israel. (Model is 1911 U) This is, from what I can gather, an officer's model sized pistol. It came with a fixed blade knife with slabs matching the grip slabs on the gun- Really like how this pistol feels in my hands...

My 2 cents; variation is between a semi auto and a revolver- comfortable with both

I like the Milt Sparks "summer cruiser" holster, but an internet search doesn't show it being available for the Ruger p90. Am I missing it, or if not, does another maker have a similar model that would fit my Ruger p90? Thank you

Local shop has an s&w model 10 snub nose with stag grips. The frame is square butt; I would like to buy the gun and round the corners of the butt to create a round butt grip. Can i grind/sand/file the stag grips to match the frame as rounded? Never did this before, and unsure if the effort...

Thanks for the replies- very helpful. I offered to trade it to a local dealer for another gun and got the offer mentioned. At this point I think I will put it away in the safe and hold on to it. The issue for me was the slide; I have old (carpel tunnel and/or arthritic) hands and don't easily...

I recently purchased the captioned pistol- it is the nickel finished, wood-gripped version. Includes 2 magazines and the original box. I tried to sell it recently and was offered about half of the $1,000 i paid for it. I was thinking this gun, being in my understanding a higher end version...

Thank you all for the comments- i will be following up in a day or two and will post the results here

I bought a used 20 gauge 870 Wingmaster today. When i was examining it in the shop i noticed that if i operated the slide (no shell involved- slid the slide forward to the maximum available point) and then raised the muzzle up the slide would slide back towards the receiver. Is this because...

I am looking at a 229 at the local shop. This one is chambered in .40 s&w. Everything seems ok except i can 'pinch' or compress the slide into the frame slightly at the muzzle. No side to side just top to bottom. Is this a cause for concern? Thank You

Many thanks!

I purchased a glock barrel, labeled for a 40 s&w, thinking to use it in my Glock 32, to shoot the 40 caliber round. I got it home and it will insert into the slide for my Glock 32. However, it extends past the front of the slide- i think this is the barrel for a Glock 22, not the 23 If this is...

Kind of a weird question but here goes- looking for a semi-auto handgun similar to the Kimber Ultra plus 1911. (Round-butt, full sized grip frame, short barrel and slide). Doesn’t have to be a 1911, but would have the larger grip frame and shorter barrel. Trying to find a cheaper alternative...

I am considering the purchase of a 9mm pistol made by this company The price seems ok at $365, with two factory magazines and the gun seems to be in good condition with mostly cosmetic wear My concern is that (as I understand it) the company is out of business I don’t own a lot of guns and would...

The local shop has an HK p7 for sale- it looks good; very little if any wear on the finish. Comes with 3 magazines and the box. The price is good when compared to asking prices on gunbroker. My main concern about buying this gun is that it isn't made any longer; if parts replacement is...

Looking at a Kimber that is advertised as an ultra carry (not +) I recall handling an ultra carry + and it seems like the grip frame is full sized, even though the barrel/slide is around 3". The one i am looking at doesn't have the rounded butt but it looks like the grip frame is longer than...

I am looking at an S&W "airweight" for sale on line. The number on the butt of the grip is 407xxx 38 special 2" barrel Round Butt Seller advertises this as a model 37, manufactured in 1954. Wondering about the year of manufacture? Thank You,

Thanks Rubone - the date as advertised is one of the reasons i am looking at that revolver; i wanted a J-frame Smith, and thought it would be kind of special to have one made the year i was born.

Thanks for the prompt replies- the number on the bottom of the grip frame is 407xxx. There is no picture of the inside of the frame where model numbers are placed on more recent guns. It is a flat-latch, which i think makes it somewhat older?

I am looking at an S&W Airweight on gunbroker. This is a .38 special, that is reported by the seller as manufactured in 1954. I am interested in this gun as a CCW, and also because it was manufactured in the year i was born (yes, i am officially old) I have read about j-frame guns (alloy) that...
