As you might know, I have two six shot .38's with 3" barrels and adjustable sights. These are built on the Bulldog frame with an alloy grip frame. One of the guns is back at the factory getting the timing adjusted, so I asked for a stainless steel grip frame to be installed.
I also found a used stainless steel grip frame on Gun Broker, so I bought it for $35. The steel frame arrived today.
I installed the grip frame and had to fit it a little bit. The frame is about 2.5oz heavier, and in all the right places!
The best way to describe it is the gun feels more solid now. It feels like it balances better with the 3" barrel. It isn't a pocket gun, so the added weight is welcomed. It is still under 27oz, so it feels like a kit gun.
