Smith Airweight! Huzzah!
Try a set of Ergo grips they are odd looking but feel great. I love mine. Tried rubber and wood boot grips and like these the best. I also had it cut for moon clips. I run Critical Defense ammo in it. After I wore the clearcoat off the finish I had it painted Marine Cop red, wore that off and had it painted again.
Yessir, strange looking, but if they fit one’s hand they can be awesome.
The concept is based upon the little finger’s grip strength being optimized to a smaller dimension.
I do rather love the red finish! These days, as I get closer to cataract surgery, i cna never find ANYTHING because all my crap is black! Black hostlers, black pistols, black pouches, black belt bags, black shoulder bags, black cellphones and pouches, black speedloaders, black magazines, black eyeglass cases, black suitcases….
When I eloquoate frustration aloud over the inability to find something , Mrs Marvel halps by saying
“ I am sure its in a black bag ….”
I am getting ready to go buy that new spray paint that sticks to anything… in Cherry Red and Hiway Safety Yellow…
Back on topic, I am absolutely ENAMOURED with my S&W airweight model 438.
Of course i got it “cheap” … equipped it with soft rubber lasermax laser grips that look crazy similar to those boot grips, and carry with
“Buffalo Bore Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy .38 Special Ammo
158 gr. Soft Lead SWC-HC (850 fps/M.E. 253 ft. lbs.) “
Good stuff, actually makes 850 ish fps from a 2” barrel, low flash, and EXPANDS QUITE WELL.
The little smith is my most favorite carry piece and my second lightest. Lightest is the keltec .380 mouse gun,
For “bathing suit beach carry “ … as if we have any beaches in this desert.
