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.

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.

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.

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.

No explanation necessary. I totally get it.

In your case, it applies double. When shooting pictures, be sure to get your foot and toilet paper out of the frame. :lol: :mrgreen: :smilelol5: :rolll "rlol"

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :evil2:
