Maybe. I have a Hogue Mono Grip on most of my revolvers. It works for me. A purty set of wooden grips would look nice though.

Picked up 642 pro j frame. The cylinder is cut for moon clips and has no key lock. I just polished up the internals but the trigger is too heavy for my taste. Might order a spring kit for it.

It’s the very elusive SA/DA 642. Rare and valuable!
Isn’t that the one you hand picked out of five or six?
Ahh yes, here we have a fine example of the limited-run DA/SA Centennial model.
Yup, out of 4 different ones. Dry firing it to break in the trigger, reset started getting sticky and then this happened. Got pics/a video but can’t recreate it again, calling S&W tomorrow. Can’t catch a break with these revolvers :/

Well you definitely broke it. Mission accomplished!
When I got my 442 it was full of metal shavings and the barrel was canted to the left. S&W fixed it but, yes, it’s infuriating.
I have a 642 that has a cant and shoots off to the left a good ways. I called SW and he basically told me I couldn’t shoot. Strange that I can shoot my 640 dead nuts on at the same distance.
I still like the gun for its intended use, but it does irritate me. Do you think it’s worth trying with SW again? Did they straighten your barrel out?

Personally, even if this gets fixed I’m going to hold off from Smiths for the time being. Disappointing because I’m really loving revolvers but I just can’t seem to get past the god-awful QC

Is that the optional PC short pull trigger package?

Yes they did, and nicely smoothed out the action while they were at it.

But wait, there's more!
J - Carbon and E - Stainless Small frame
K - Carbon and F - Stainless Medium frame
L - Carbon and H - Stainless Medium frame (med/lg)
N - Carbon and G - Stainless Large frame
X-Xtra large frame-460, 500
Z-frame Governor
current versions are variations of the E frame:
a new 649 is an EMagnumS frame, a 638 is an EMagnumAS frame.
Model 49 Bodyguard is a JS frame: carbon steel, shrouded hammer
Model 649 Bodyguard is an ES frame: stainless, shrouded
Model 38 Bodyguard is a JAS frame: steel bar/cyl/yoke, alloy, shrouded
Model 638 Bodyguard is an EAS frame: stainless bar/cyl/yoke, alloy, shrouded
By 1997 all J frames were JMagnum and all E frames were EMagnum
Believe the NEW Bodyguard is EMagnumPAC: polymer, alloy, concealed hammer

Just a couple that I came across today. The ugly one is mine, one of the recent Australian police trade-ins in all its filthy glory, as received. . The other one is not mine and should be on its way back to its rightful owner shortly, it's pretty though...

My little family of D frame ColtsThis place needs a dedicated revolver picture thread. I'll start us off...
Here are a few 3" K Frame Smith & Wesson revolvers. Clockwise from bottom left (1) Model 13, Model 64 NY-1, Model 65, Model 10-7, another Model 65 at bottom center.
Let's see what you've got. Post anything...new revolvers, old revolvers, your favorite carry revolver, etc.

U.S. issued Colt Official Police owned by retired Col and I assume he embellished gun after his mid 50s retirement.

3" 66's are awesome. I'm a huge fan of the model 19/66's. I just picked up another 2.5" for a song, then gave it away to a great friend/co-worker that was looking for one and not a gun forum/range guy. As luck would have it, two days later on a local Long Island gun forum, another was for sale and I picked it up (no pic of that one yet, but just like yours above). Unfortunately I only have one 19 (2.5"). I'm a model 13/65 fanboy also.

Other favorites...3"65 or the 3"66 or the 3" 31.... I ran out of room so I no longer collect handguns unless it's another 3" 19/66....
