Size Comparison: Colt DS vs M36 Boot Grips

[doc540]

Just mounted my new Jim Badger boot grips on the DS.

Here's some information for size comparisons

Overall dimensions
DS


M36 (Excaliber boot grips)


Grip thickness
DS


M36


Side by Side


A few other comparisons
DS
6 shot
27oz (w/135gr Speer Gold Dots)
Cylinder diameter: 1.4"

M36
5 shot
23oz (w/Gold Dots)
Cylinder diameter: 1.3"

I've chosen to carry the DS in a SmartCarry mainly due to its superior accuracy. Both are excellent snubs.

Hope this helps someone.

The size comparison doesn't help me, but those DS grips sure are pretty.

Not only pretty but the finger grooves give more control than the checkered Excalibers.
