Check your rubber grips if you had them on awhile.

I upgraded the non finger grove grips on my Ruger SBH. The old ones were a little stuck on. When i went to pry them loose. They split down the back. I played around with them some. The rubber just feel appart. It would not be good if they fail while shooting. Just something we all should check now and then.

Good idea to check to make sure moisture isn't trapped underneath and starting rust. I've seen some otherwise very nice looking stainless revolvers with bad pitting under the grips.

Yes i agree. I take my grips off now and then. And apply some oil to the steel. I shot my SBH since i replaced the grips. Very nice to shoot with them.

Preventive maintenance is required for everything.

Something went wrong with the OP's batch of plastic.

Either that or they got exposed to a chemical they shouldn't have.

I've had the same pair of Pachmyers on my Model 66 revolver for thirty years. They are still solid.

Or better yet, take them off and send them to the landfill.
