I appreciate that. I’m second guessing not buying the ones with medallions. I bought three pair. My wife’s dad was a Investigator for Atlanta Police from ‘73-‘00. He gave her a nickel model 49 that he carried as a back up. He had his academy date and hers engraved on the side plate. Over the years the finish took a beating. I have Frazier Tactical redoing the gun inside and out. Going to put the other set on it when it is finished.

You guys order a couple from Tyler. I'll buy them from you if you don't like 'em.

I went to their website. Fill out a form mail a check. Prices are different from the homepage on the order form. No credit or debit cards. It would probably be easier and cheaper to buy off eBay.

Hey, I'm a dinosaur. Don't mind working with snail mail and paper checks. lol
Besides, with eBay i'd worry I wouldn't get right size or finish.

Oh, about grips... I've got both styles and think I like with medallions best on Smiths.

Picked up this 340 the other day to go along with my 640. Its lighter than I thought it would be. Will shoot her next week sometime.

After much self debate, I have decided to carry my Charter Arms undercover. It has been unfired to this point and still has the original box and documents. It’s dated 1969-1970. It appears no one collects these things and they are not that great as collector items. Value doesn’t seem to go up. I personally have owned several over the years and had no problems with them. I did drop some money on grips! They are on the way from Altamont. I will add pics when the grips come in as for now this is how we are rolling.

Just ordered a copy. Maybe I can put the gun up with the new grips and the book for sale!
