Say Hi to my new subject revolver. First impression...eh, The stainless steel brushed finish is nice but to be honest, not much better than I could do. (look at the cylinder)
I could hardly wait to get rid of the god awful Hogue grips. Hogue grips are too long (allows for their attachment system), These particular Hogues have an odd, almost Bisley, angle to them and why are they pushing my hand back 3/8" from the frame ? Nice Walnut wood though. This spare set of Thai grips have a better angle, 1/2" shorter, and tuck under the back strap ledge. Smooth finger groove grips just work better for me. I naturally hold them tighter which improves my shooting.
Over all, I like my new purchase but I'm wondering if my money wouldn't have been better spent on an older nice condition S&W 686. (I"M not a collector)
