When I was a kid, I remember seeing these all the time in gun magazines, so I decided to buy a couple of them within the last couple months. I have a few S&W revolvers that I thought would look good with them. I have never used one so I don't know if it will be an improvement or not; I did this just for the nostagic look. The problem I am having now is finding stocks that work with the T-Grip. I have a Model 36 square butt and I can't find any factory stocks for it. I asked at my local gun shop and he gave me a pair of round butt grips that of course don't work, so I haven't installed any yet. The little 2" Model 36 came to me used with a huge set of packmeyers on it that were as big as the whole rest of the gun.
