Two questions answered; the internals are flash chromed, and the Bear Hugs are wider, and rounded, up by the humpback. Handsome as the usual OEM Altamonts might be, and generally a good fit, the damned things are both thin and squared off at the humpback.
BTW, as regards the smooth grips; have a set of smooth, boot grips on a 340SC; they allow you to hold on to a (really sharply recoiling) pistol. And the Bear Hugs both look good and are very old school.
Yeah, time to start putting away some sheckles, and thinking about swapping away the 25-15.
BTW, have an old, flapped N frame holster, with a real Indiana Jones vibe. It works great with a Mountain Gun.
