Grip Adapter for 1905 HE?

Grip Adapter for 1903 HE?

Does anyone know if there's a grip adapter made for a S&W 1905 Hand Ejector with a round butt?

 

[Mike Irwin]

What kind of grip adapter? To make it go from round butt to square butt?

Just stick a set of square butt grips on it.

Or, maybe he means a Taylor "T".

If he wants a Tyler T the 3R should fit.

I am thinking about something like a Tyler, but I'd be suprised if a 3R fit it. I've got a model 64 and it's quite a bit larger than this little I-frame.

So it is a .32 Hand Ejector?

I thought a 1905 HE was a M&P .38.

The J frame adapter should fit or be easily adapted. The I frame was the old version of the J frame but the changes were not made in the area of the grip adapter.

I'm pretty sure Jim Watson and I are right. The 1905 HE is an M&P. Here''s a pic from the S&W forum.

The .32 HE "I" frame was the Model 1903; later the term "Hand Ejector Third Model" and Model I Hand Ejector" were used, though none of those designations was marked on the guns. The .22 Hand Ejector (the "Ladysmith") was the Model M.)

Nevermind

So it's an '03 and not an '05, and a j frame adapter should might/should be modifiable, thanks to everyone.

Picture is worth a thousand words department: let's be sure what we are talking about.

The Model 1905 HE was a six shot 38 Special revolver built on the K frame.

The Model of 1903 was a six shot 32 S&W Long revolver built on the I frame.

Here is a photo comparing the size of a K frame revolver to an I frame revolver, a K frame Model 1905 HE at the top, and an I frame 32 Regulation Police at the bottom.

The I frame cylinder was too small for six 38 caliber chambers, however there were some I frame 38s with five chambers. These revolvers shot the 38 S&W cartridge, not the 38 Special.

So exactly what revolver are we talking about?

A photo would be helpful.

The picture's not very good, but it's good enough for you to tell the finish is all but gone on it. Not sure whether to shoot it as-is or refinish it. What I'm sure of, though, is that those little grips need some sort of adapter on the front of them.
