Without taking my grips off can I get an educated guess in my stuff is round or square tang, I dont know for a fact if all the grips pictured even really went with the pac's originally

Square tang = .357 and smaller

round tang = .44  up and any SuperMags

Removing and changing the grips is very easy don't be scared.

That was easy, kinda make me feel stupid.

Changing grips is easy enough, do know not to get the screw too tight.

 

Thanks

Yes, not too tight on EVERYTHING on a Dan Wesson revolver; barrel nut, grip screw, side plate screws. Wrist tight is enough; once you bring your elbow into it you're likely to cause some damage. I speak from hard earned experience.

The rubber grips, one Gripper and one Presentation, are aftermarket. The finger groove grip with the blue gun appears to be a Hogue, not factory. The black cloth is not original. The buckles and patches may be date appropriate or may not be depending on the serial numbers. They are factory though..

The presentation came with the pac and the gripper was bought off E-bay from lonwolf.

The pac case with the black cloth is incorrect however, Dan Fan thinks Joann fabrics has something very close to original....I kinda like the way the chocolate colored cloth looks with the SS however I am going to get that fixed.

 

Im watching a set of Zebras right now if they get too high I am going to use the $ get a holster for my new S&W  625-8 for winter carry.
