I would use it as a house gun.There is no CCW here.I was looking at a J frame as I wanted a snubbie this was offered as an alternative.It already has rubber Hogues on it which I like
Yes except for the last two years of production the Model 12 had a thinner grip frame. The profile was the same, just thinner.
To use mono grips often times a shim is needed.
To use hinged Pachmayr type grips a shim is a must.
For wood grips or twp piece rubber grips the edges can be sanded to fit or shims can be used.
I would love to find a mod 12 that was part of the overrun from the batch for the French police 3" mid weight tapered barrel and a round grip. Leave off the stupid frame mount safety.
I have thought about getting a 3" mod 10-7 with the mid weight barrel and putting it on a 4" mod 12 with round grip...
I've had a few 12's. With 12-4 they went to standard width frame. I've made grips that fit earlier than dash fours using standard S&W grips and 15 mins. worth of sandpapering. I wouldn't hesitate carrying a 12 2" with a RB. 12's are rapidly becoming a collectable item. If you find a nice one I'd safe it.
