That's why I replaced the ones on my M442 with Badger Custom Rosewood grips. They are very comfortable and I feel they reduce the felt recoil.That's surprising. I bought a 637 about a year ago. I've only put about 200 rounds through it, but that's every thing from 125 gr HP +p loads to 158 gr cast SWC hand loads and the only problem I've had with it is those d@mn condoms they call grips.
Not sure what is up with that. Did you throw it against hard surface after disappointing grouping on target? What last poster is hinting at is seeing is believing.Just brought my brand new 637 to the range. Loaded it up with 5 rds of 95gr cowboy loads and after finishing those the crane bent. What's up with that. Very disappointed in Smith right about now. Left it with the smith at the place I bought it.
Well got the gun back from the gunsmith. He was not very talkative about what happen and why. He just said that the yoke/crane was apparently out of alignment from the factory and the 5 rd I out thru it made it worse.
To the point the cylinder would not close. He realigned it and I shot 50 rds without a problem. Still a little disappointed with Smith And Wesson. Probably won't be buying anymore of their products in the future.
I will be sending them a e-mail describing what happen too.
