Quick question, for all of you Smith K-frame lovers out there...
I just acquired a model 15 that has some pretty good holster wear but seems to lock up pretty well. Grips are old Magna style and are dry and worn - esp. the right panel - probably from being slapped around while being carried.
I was playing (so to speak) with the 15 this evening. The grips aren't very filling to say the least and my hand keeps riding up on the backstrap. I suspect the Magna style - thicker at the bottom and narrow at the top - is the culprit.
I'm sure Tyler T-grips would help or the larger Smith Target-style grips. I've not used T-grips before. My Ruger has larger grips - similar to the Smith Target style.
Those of you who have Model 15s or Model 10s (or other K-frames), which do you prefer? Neither is a major investment - I saw some Tgrips for $25 or so, and some wood non-Smith brand target grips for $25 or so - but I need some information on which to try first.
Purpose of gun is range use - plinker & target. Maybe, someday, it could be a CCW after I find a holster for it. Grips first, though.
Which to try: T-grip or Target stocks?
Thanks,
