My BBQ gun setup

[Wildcat Diva]

So, I spent $30 on the holster. It’s a right handed holster but I found I can do single action support hand just fine. I practiced single hand support hand shooting already this week and I’ll keep going.

How’d I do?

This gun is HEAVY! I think I have it too far forward in the picture. Belt loops are stupidly placed on jeans.

very pretty holster! who's is it? btw, yea, it's too far forward, but find what's comfortable for you and go with it!

 

[Wildcat Diva]

This is the gun I have to work with. My grandpa’s S&W model 28.
I need to buy carry ammo for it, I guess. I shoot 38 Special instead of the .357.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Nice.

Maybe look into +p for carry....

That gun is screaming for a set of stag grips!

This vendor is who sold the holster except I used EBay instead of his ETSY shop. Says the holsters are made in El Paso.

I am wearing a black leather gun belt by Comp Tac.

I also just purchased this holster for some of our Glocks, even though of course Glocks are ugly.

Buy the holster to fit the G22, and it will fit your G26 too...

(And the G19s!)

Already done! Thanks for the suggestion.

Wildcat Diva,

Your grandpa had GOOD taste in a revolver. = Our THP troopers carried those for YEARS & YEARS.
(My favorite 6-gun is its cousin, the S&W Model 27, with 3.5 inch barrel.)

IF the Model 28 was mine, I'd put a TYLER'S T-GRIP on it & keep the same grips.

My favorite "carry load" in an N-Frame Smith is SPEER GOLD DOT 158 GRAIN JHP. = PRICEY at 28.oo per 20 but I shoot few of them "on range".

yours, satx

Yep, I was thinking of adding "and everything in between", but didn't.

I think that’s a really cool idea! I had to look up what you meant. I found this video. I think that would be a nice addition!

Just go ahead and get the Target Grips. Hogue also makes some that fill that gap and are not as large if you have smaller hands.

The T-Grip is nice but it's a band-aid.

 

[satx78247]

Wildcat Diva,

Fyi, ALL of my "working" wheel-guns wear Tyler's T-grips & the standard grips, including my Colt's Police Positive of 1910. = I just shoot BETTER with the T-grip.
(YEP, Tyler's custom-MADE my a T-grip for the "old-school" Colt. - I emailed the company, inquired & they responded with a request for the SN & "got it out to me" quickly.)

IMO, "avvidclif" is WRONG about the TARGET grips IF like ME you have smaller than average hands. = I find the Target grips TOO BIG for me to shoot well.
(To quote my beloved grandfather, "Differences in opinion causes horseraces".)

yours, satx
