So I finally found a nice Smith 1076 10mm and even though I haven't fired it yet, I think it'll be a carry gun. It's slim and feels great in my hand.
Discontinued guns are always hard to find parts for, and the 1076 is worse- even though they made a ton of them, it appears that most of the FBI ones were destroyed by the FBI.
I see Hogue makes wood grips for a 1006 and similar, but not for the 1076 due to the decocking lever sticking out under the left grip panel.
Has anyone ever modified a wooden grip to accommodate the lever? I read somewhere of someone doing it with the rubber grips and it seems wood should be easy. I don't want it to look like a hack-job so before I spend the money I'd like to hear if someone has tried it.
