can you tell I prefer Hogue monogrips on my K frames?

1948 S&W pre model 14 K 38 6” .38spl.
1954 S&W C-series 5”.38spl.
1967 S&W Model 15-2 combat masterpiece 4” .38spl.

none are particularly collectible nor in pristine condition… but they sure shoot well!

One of my favorite .22lr revolvers. A 6” 1953 nickel Colt Official Police

Picked this used 629 up for only $999. Pretty much got the cerakote job for free. OD green is my favorite color and I love shooting .44 mag, so I had to have it. Swapped the shitty factory rubber grips for some Hogues, gave it a trigger job, and it's a work of art, now.

I typically would not go for cerakote on a revolver but the od with these grips works well

Whatever keeps me from having to wipe it down with oil every 6 months. Nitrided autos have me spoiled.

It's a 629-6 with a lock, so no collectibility value. (Yes, I removed the lock.) Bonus points for being the same model I first shot .44 mag from almost 20 years ago after watching Dirty Harry.

I like your thinking, and the finish to grip accent is excellent. Dirty Harry and his S&W graced us way back 71or 72? I take it you are not yet a member of the old fart gang.

I'm 40, but was born a grumpy old man. So old enough!

My favorite although I've sold it when I stopped shooting IHMSA

That’s pretty dang cool looking.

Recently added another mr73 I got a stellar deal on. It’s definitely been shot quite a bit but it’ll be the shooter the other will sit and just look pretty.

Regarding #2 The cylinder had inserts instead of being tempered throughout?

#4: Huh?

#7: It sounds like the "Boss" is an ejector shroud, though one isn't pictured?

#10: I always knew the chambers were tapered, but are they really that tight? I've never seen lead in the end of any of mine.

#11: Huh? Never seen that on any of my Smiths.

My only M&Ps are old Model 10s, polymer Bodyguard 38s, or 9MMs. This sounds like a whole different animal.

1899 Year model. Who knows what the hell they are talking about.

It looks like it's that raised section immediately behind the knurled section. If that prevents bending sufficient to create a permanent change, it could qualify as a boss in the metalworking sense. See here.

#10: I always knew the chambers were tapered, but are they really that tight? I've never seen lead in the end of any of mine.

Sounds like a good claim for an advertisement but likely an overstatement. We've all seen plenty of revolvers that will drop fired cases with lots of soot on the front half. If I were trying to sell revolvers, I'd sure claim the chambers were tight and that, as a result, less crap gets deposited forward of the cartridge case. I've seen lots of lead in the chambers of revolvers but I'm not picturing how a tight chamber could help.

#11: Huh? Never seen that on any of my Smiths.

That sounds like a nice feature, though. Probably a manufacturing cost risk since it would require a bit of material to be removed from the frame. Screw that up and an otherwise good frame becomes scrap. I'm not surprised the feature got dropped.

Did you ever get that 29 fixed? I'll still buy it!
