So I go stumbling into my local gun pusher..........

I've had a 6 & 1/2" Model 29 and a stainless 629 and let them both get away from me. I also had a 6 & 1/2' Model 57 .41 Magnum at one time. I've got a 6' Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum to go with my 6" Python now. Those two aren't going anywhere until I'm dead!

I shot one of your snake guns in Casa Grande. That was nice.

Damn that's a long barrel.

It sounds like a nice family of Colts.

"Is that an Anaconda in your pants Hemi, or are you just carrying around that big ol' honkin' Colt again?"

The wood gripped N Frames are a work of art. I just pulled my oversize goncalo alves S and W  target grips from 1977 off my Model 28 and put them on my Model 29. They no longer make them, and they are going for $199 on EBay. I paid $28 for them in 1977.  They really help with the kick.

it is accurate, now I have to settle on a favorite load, then fine tune the sights for that load.

    I've been looking for a set for my 6 " Model 19 Target , its one of the older ones with the recessed Cylinder for the Cartridge head . I like the wood , the way they look.

That is ridiculous but I feel the pain! Factory Python grips are right up there in the same range! I'm sure glad I got the originals with my gun.

Good news! I found a pair on Amazon that were mislabeled as standard N frame grips. I took a chance and ordered them. THey are just a standard dark brown hardwood, but are the same size. So I popped them on the model 28 for now and they are just fine. Only $62 instead of $199. So if anybody wants a new pair of standard N frame grips, let me know. I will give you a deal.

  I need the " K " frame grips for my Model 19 Target & I think the Target grips are different then the std., I think they have a thumb rest , I'll have to look them up again. It has Pachmayr Presentation on now , which are real nice .
