Moving it off the Back Burner

Got the schedule set up and the pieces in place!!

This weekend we will look at the differences between Hogue Monogrips and Hogue Tamer Grips . . .

They resemble each other but they are quite a bit different from each other – and we will shoot both and look at them side by side . . .

Yes I am teasing you!!

From LEO Combat : Hammer Shrouds for the 637 J Frame

When I received my TRIPLE-O Knife from Bob at LEO COMBAT ( my review of the TRIPLE-O knife is here ) he threw in a package of these – a neat idea to “snag proof” the hammer on a S&W 637 – the S&W 637 is great as it is a true DA/SA revolver – you can simply pull the trigger and it will perform a “double” action – rotate the cylinder AND bring the hammer back to sear break thus firing the revolver – as well as being able to bring the hammer back manually – rotating the cylinder and bringing to hammer back to rear lock – then pulling the trigger gives you a “single” action – hammer drop/firing the revolver . . .

The S&W 637 is capable of quite decent single action accuracy – however the hammer snagging on clothing or body parts while attempting to extricate from your pocket / under pants / or wherever you might stash it limits it being used by a lot of folks – they simply buy and carry a S&W 642 ( internal hammer ) and don’t worry about hammer snag . . .

How to test drive this?? I dug out the S&W 637 and a pocket holster for it – loaded it – slipped the shroud on it – and put it in my pocket . . . I tried dry firing it multiple times and it “pops” right off of the hammer just like in the video – so I will carry it in my pocket for a couple of weeks and see if it comes off in normal use – I will not do any pics – What ?? Stick my bore scope down my pocket ??

Been in my pocket all day and hasn’t come off yet – ( and yes I have my S&W 642 in my other pocket ) so I will get back to you folks in a week or so and let you know how it works . . .

New Pachmayr Grips for The S&W 36-1 Square Butt

I really like the Herrett’s grips – yes I know – “stocks” – OK??? – that were on the S&W 36-1 – good looking – but not really practical . . .

I finally found a set of Pachmayr’s for the little darling – I needed grips for a square butt not a round butt – they finally came back in stock – I ordered a set and here we are – and again nothing against the Herrett’s but they just don’t fit me as good as the Pachmayr’s and the little dear is still being used regularly as a “working” revolver – I really don’t want to scratch up a set of grips that are vintage – and worth more than the revolver . . .

Hanging out with it’s big brother – J Fame on top – K Frame on the bottom , , ,

The Herrett’s are good lookers . . .

But practicality wins out as the little darling is still pulling it’s weight – no hanging out in the vault drinking beer – playing poker – and smoking cigars for a living . . . All y’all think I can’t smell the cigar smoke – really?? And I do notice the beer missing – and if you would pay more attention y’all would realize the 380’s are table talking / bottom of the deck dealing cheaters – I will never again set in on a game with them – but what do I know? – just saying . . .
