anyone carrying? Looking to get a 2.5 in barrel obviously. The BIG question is........what is the best small grip to go with? I understand the plus-minus between rubber and wood. Please share your experiences.
Thanks

Several choices for grip;
My best, first choice for this is the Pachmayr Gripper, no longer in production but occaisionally available on ebay, GB. I like them a lot, but grips are a very personal thing
Second choice would be the small DW grip, sometimes available on Ebay, GB. Also some varieties available from CZ/DW

I bet that the Pau Ferro on the left here (from Steve's Hogue link) would be pretty nice for CC purposes.

Those are similar to DW's factory combat grips, but look a little shorter & may be less visible. Show us some
of your rig, when you get it finished.

Thanks for the welcome and knowledge sharing. Been a DW fan since I was a kid shooting my uncle's 15V 6 inch. Got my first 15 4 in. one about three yrs ago. Want the elusive DW 45LC. Don't laugh-I'll find it one day.

I don't doubt you will, they are out there.
In fact, there was one on Gun Broker just last week.

Those little Hogues are pretty nice, I hadn't looked at them before. The Hogue Site is HUGE

Now that we are passed that, next question. Which will draw many opinion. What holster or rig works best with this set-up?

TC- My son is a Connecticut Yankee by birth and upbringing, a recent Texas resident for a couple years for work, and likely a Texan at heart.
Holster choices are even more personal than grip choices. If you have a blue revolver, a lined holster will cut down on finish wear, less critical with Stainless.
Inside waistband is more concealable than outside waistband, the most concealable IWB are the "tuckables". One thing to look for on IWB is to get one with two attachment snaps/tabs fairly widely spaced on the belt. If they're only say 1" apart (or a clip) the holster tends to pivot around the attachment point. If the snaps/tabs are spaced 4" or more apart the holster is more stable.
Try this for many holster discussions:

Holsters for S&W K frame should be the closest fit foe a 15-2

Texas you either love or hate. I have come to find this "home". BTW, I was just up in CT on business. Very scenic. Was in G'wich.
Football season goes only one way--BUCKEYES! That is when they know a Yank is in their midst.
Many thanks for the holster data. Any thoughts on a shoulder set-up?

BTW.
Do you know how much that 45LC went for? Condition? Any extras?

It went through one round with a $595 starting price...no bids. Then when he re-listed it with a 
of $550, it only lasted just short of three hours.

It would normally have gone for more, if the cylinder drag line wasn't so pronounced. Still, I think this was a good deal for someone.

Bianchi makes great holsters. Here's a shoulder rig available for S&W K frame 2'

And as for that Buckeye stuff
BTW, for carry you're going to want speedloaders HKS 10-A's

I just got a pair of High Standard grips and a 2.5" shroud and barrel for my m-15 VH. I've got a number of old K-frame holsters and speed loaders so my only problem is getting a shorter grip screw. How short is it?
