Hello all.  I just got a 15-2 from a buddy of mine.  So far, so good.  He was shooting 38 Special out of it for a long time, so I have been scrubbing the cylinder to make it ready for 357mag again.  I would use it anytime I went to his house and fell in love with her.

 

I have been trolling eBay looking for parts for it, and bid on a grip so far.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Welcome to the forum!  Keep in mind DW in Norwich still provide parts and service for our revolvers.  Prices on grips have gotten a little crazy lately so you may be able to get them cheaper from the factory.

Thanks.  I will give DW a call and see about it.  Any disadvantage with getting a new barrel and shroud from them?

The only possible issue with getting the B/A from Norwich is that it will not be roll marked like your original shroud, which is a matter of personal preference.

As far as the grips go, you will get many more options in size, style,and wood from LB Custom Grips, for example:
