    I have read that the Uncle Mike's Grips that come stock on the 642/442 are based on the Craig Spegel wood grip design. Can someone elaborate and/or confirm this? The shape does look almost identical. PD

    Anyone know the proper procedure for applying the Loc-Tite to the ILS? Seems like this would be a better approach than trying to remove it. PD

    Coffee357, Another holster that is supposedly very good at pulling the gun in very tight to the body is the Tucker HF3, http://rlcompanyusa.stores.yahoo.net/hf3reho.html It costs $100 [more with tooled designs] but the quality of Tucker Holsters are top notch. I have had two of their...

    Coffee357, I really like the looks of that BlackHawk Askins CQC holster. The description talks about how close it pulls the gun up to ones body. What's your take on this aspect since you wear one? I like carrying OWB. I also like using the same holster for the 442 and the 60. PD

    Iggy, Thanks for the Spegel Grip tip! I had totally forgotten about them. I don't currently own a pair but would like to someday. They look like the kind of grip I really like and the colors/finishes are fantastic. I own a Wilderness Original Instructor Belt like they sell and it is one...

    Brassman, I've had a set of Eagle Secret Service wood grips on my 442 for 8 or 9 years and have been pretty happy with them. They are a pretty good fit, however, I've read that the fit of Eagle grips can be a 'hit or miss' proposition. I like the feel of them and they slide and glide...

    coltjeeper, That looks just like my S&W 60, same grips too. Sweet snubbie. I've been thinkin' of having mine changed to double action only, removing the hammer, action job and then have it coated in black teflon with some black wood badger grips. I've always wanted a tricked out snubbie...

    jad110, I previously owned a SP-101 and it was too large to fit the J-Frame holster. I have considered getting another SP-101 and having it customized, but it would require another set of holsters and I'm not sure I want to add more holsters to my already 'multiplying' holster drawer. I...

    Nematocyst, Not sure which K9 you have but I have heard that the K9 is the best of the Kahr line. And if you have one that is 100% reliable I can't imagine getting rid of it. Yes, it might be a little heavier, but it seems like it would be a real sweet Nine. I've never owned a Kahr since...

    I don't use speed loaders, so I can't advise you on the fit with the Eagle Grips. I have always loved the look of the Ahrends Grips but haven't bought a set yet. They are, however, on my 'lust list of things to trick out my 442'. Ron

    I've tried the Hogues on my 442 as well. It does indeed handle better but they do not work for pocket carry in my Dickie's type work pants. The grips are exposed and are too sticky as well. My favorite carry grip for my 442 is a set of Eagle Secret Service Grips. They conceal easily in the...

    Submitting app for 642 Club! I've carried a 442 for about ten years. I have other carry pieces but the 442 is my "Go-To" CCW. I pocket carry with a DeSantis Nemesis or Uncle Mikes #4 about 50% of the time, then the rest of the time I carry OWB in a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake Holster...

    Ruger SP101 .357 Mag

    bigmike45, Congrats on a great lookin' pair of 5-shot 6-shooters! And the leather is nice too! Can you elaborate on the 'carry' difference between the 2.25" and the 3.25" SP101? Does the extra inch get in the way when sitting down in the car, i.e. hitting the seat or seat belt, etc.? I...
