unforgiven Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Like any new product that comes out aftermarket parts are non existant for some time.I use this for alot of driving in a "uncle Mikes" holster in the crossdraw position.Grip is "Houge" gives a better purchase on pistol and allows more of a full hand grip.
EasyEJL Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 dangit, now I'm looking at buying one of them. its a pity they aren't in 357 magnum though, or are they available that way?
unforgiven Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 Not that incorporate the laser like that brother.This is .38 spl. and shoots +P rounds.I use Hornadys critical defense ammo.
EasyEJL Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 True, glaser safety slugs as well are perfectly fine in 38 spl
Microgunner Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I used to own a BG38 and it was a fine revolver. Sold it when I bought a S&W 340PD, which is a scandium alloy and titanium 11.4oz .357 mag J frame. God knows that damnable thing needs a new set of grips. Which reminds me, I think I'll look for a new set this week.
unforgiven Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 I looked at the guys http://www.grips4guns.com/ If I could I'd rather have wood grips.I was going to made a set,but the hammer spring goes down the middle of the grip as you can see.

Respectfully Terry No reason for that brother Terry .357 Magnum right here: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764939_-1_757768_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y Once again not much of a grip.Especially for a hotter round.
Tripledeuce Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 OK> Here goes. About 4 years ago, I bought a Kimber ultra carry II. 3 1/2" bbl, short grip. For X-mas, my wife bought me a set of Chrismon Trace lazer grips. As Part of my getting to know the weapon, I ran the falling plates 10 times. 5 each with the lazer and 5 without. With a competion timer, I was consitantly 3/4 of a second SLOWER with the lazer.I ran the test once a week for 4 weeks. Nothing changed. My times were always bettet without the lazer. My wife also tried it, but not as many times as I did. She didn't like the muzzle flip. She does like her Kimber solo, however! Tried a lazer on the solo, her times were consistantly slower with the lazer. Sold both on E-Bay. 3/4 of a second could get me killed. My opinion? Learn your weapon, and the lazer is just a toy. Respectfully Terry
sketch Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 I've not tried a revolver for carry but have tried the laser on the back up and a sig. The backup always went off with recoil!! Fail. The sig carried in a soft holster drained the battery! Fail. No more lasers!!
planeflyer21 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Interesting about the laser times diminishing. IMO/E, most laser lore is mythology. People don't see laserbeams slicing through the air and landing on their chest. They don't make people more accurate. In low light or darkness lasers don't illuminate your target for positive identification. While they are a good tool for people to learn trigger control and sight alignment, it only works if it is aligned with the sights when they are aligned. Most from the factory are WAY off. damn, that stuff must be like unobtanium for that price. still sweet as hell though. S&W does a roving tour with their current production lineup for retailers who are interested. The local Sportsman's Warehouse usually signs up, and uses the range in Marana for the shoot. El Señor .357 Magnum picked up that 340PD and loaded 5 rounds of some HOT .357 Magnum loads in it. First round…BLAM!! Open the revolver, take out the other 4 rounds, put in some .38 Special. From what he said, that .460 Magnum is a treat compared to the 340PD.
Microgunner Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 .357 Magnum right here: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764939_-1_757768_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y That's the one I own. Kicks like a three legged ninja.
unforgiven Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 I originally got the revolver for the wife she was having trouble racking the slide on XDM and it was light/small.She didn't like it because it stung her hand.I haven't used the laser while shooting.Doesn't work in bright sunlight.Haven't had a chance to see if beam runs parallel to the barrel.Which IMO is the only way to have a laser setup so that distance is not a factor.The only use I can see is in darkness.The laser had nothing to do with the purchase.It was weight,size.With the 2" barrel it's work to be accurate past 10yrds.This grip should improve my performance.All replies are always welcomed.Rene
unforgiven Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 That pistol looks identical to the one I have,no doubt a little more stout for magnum round.How do you like the grip?
shepp Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 That's a good looking pistol that grip looks like it feels great!!!! I've always wanted alil revolver idk really why tho, maybe it goes back to the snub nose cap gun days who knows lol
Robocop1051 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Only gun to ever hurt me... I've shot .454 Casull, .500 Magnum, 45-70... none of them hurt more than the Ti .357 magnum. After 3 cylinders (15 rnds) the webbing in my hand was bruised. It's an accurate little SOB. My brotherinlaw bought it, and now only loads .38 wad cutters. Lol
Robocop1051 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I know it's a hog, but I always thought I'd be happier with the all stainless S&W 686 http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_827551_-1_757767_757751_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y Also a growing fan of the Chiappa .357
BigP623 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 I have a ruger stainless security six in 357. I took off the wood grips and put a rubber hogue grip on it as well. With the wood grips it would kill your hand on a cold day. It would make a good day of shooting go bad really fast to say the least. Got to the point that I was thinking about selling it until I put the rubber on it now its much more pleasant to shoot.
Microgunner Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) I own a 2" Chiappa Rhino. Dimensionally, it's not much larger than a j frame but is heavier at 24oz. Unbelievable to shoot. Very minor recoil even with hot 357s. And it's a six shot instead of five but the hexagonal cylinder makes it no thicker than a j frame. That's a 20% increase in firepower over the j frame.

Microgunner Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 This thread inspired me to hunt down new grips for that God forsaken S&W 340PD. I'm a member of the S&W forum and someone recommended a new product, the Ergo Delta Grip. It's really strange looking but supposed to be a real recoil tamer. We'll see.
planeflyer21 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 Oh man! That just brings "sawed-off mini-me" to mind. http://ergogrips.net/delta-grip.html
BigP623 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 man that looks weird Id like to hold one before Id buy that
