New shoes
Please pardon the bathroom counter pic but it’s late and I didn’t want to wake the house. It took a while to get these grips but I’m glad I waited. They are light and a bit thinner than the stocks. I pocket carry and I think I’ve found snubby nirvana. Oh they are prestige grips. Ron is great to work with and I appreciate his craftsmanship. I can imagine the difficulty of making these by hand.

Re: New shoes
Thanks all I really like them. They are about impossible to photograph because they look different at every angle and in every light...maybe that is what makes them cool to me.

Re: New shoes
Man, those are really nice! That blue really pops in the sunlight. I have a 340M&P, and it’s a dandy little revolver....basically the DA only "hammerless" version of your 360 PD....but if I had to do it over again, I’d buy the 360 PD. Having an enclosed hammer may be snag-free, but I’d like the option of single action fire. And although I do have a kydex pocket holster for mine, I usually carry it (when I carry it) OWB in a F.I.S.T. #10 Shortcut holster, so having an exposed hammer isn’t really a disadvantage.

Re: New shoes
I was torn between this and the 340. But I’ve been surprised that for me the spur doesn’t really hang up. I don’t wear skinny jeans and the overall shape of a revolver just lets it slither right out of the pocket. I do cover the hammer with my thumb on the draw just in case. I have many small semis and I love them all; but this revolver will always be with me. It is a keeper; it just feels “personal” to me in a way that other guns don’t. Can’t really explain it.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:23 pm Man, those are really nice! That blue really pops in the sunlight.
