I believe that closer inspection will reveal that that grip is, indeed, for a small frame.  I have never seen a DW factory grip for the large frames with the stamped checkering.

I may be wrong.  I've been wrong before.  I will be again.

SigWolf, are you sure?Confused That style grip and a square hole normally mean small frame.

Well, I'm a raw novice with regard to Dan Wesson revolvers. I don't have a large frame revolver on which to try it. However, I put it on my model 15 and although it seemed to fit there was a good deal of space between the grip and the frame behind the trigger. So I assumed they were indeed for a large frame.

Well, this would not be one of those times!! You are correct. I tried them again and they do fit a small frame. SOOOOOOO, the Karma will continue. Thanks for pointing out my error.

If the grip has a square hole it is for a small frame. If it is for a large frame the hole is round.

Only for factory DW grips-- Large frame Hogues in wood have a square hole also.

I'll be darned.  I discovered when I bought my first Hogue wood grip that they were made from two pieces, and extremely well done, i might add.  However, I never noticed that the large frame grips have square holes.  Screwy

I did notice that in order to get them to seat, you have to pistol-whip something firm with a soft surface like a carpeted floor.  Then when you want to see if they really do have a square hole, you get to experience a whole new adventure in the science of levers. Big Grin

I've been remiss in closing this out. However, I've not forgotten. I'll choose a winner this evening from those who have posted.

 

Thanks

SIGWolf-

Thanks for the "Karma Kickstart", I'm gonna look thru the unused stuff for a new Karma.

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.
