I usually like the Taurus Factgory grips. My Mods 66, 605, and 851 have almost identical grips expcept for size. And I wouldn't want anything bigger. If too many 357s get the web of my hand sore, I keep an old weightlifters glove in my kit.
But where do I find SMALLER grips for my Model 851? Same grip as the M85, but since I pocket carry, I'm trying to trim off as much bulk, length, and thickness as I can. Thr grip has more bulk than the rest of the piece. Hogue makes some "bantam" grips, but they're hard to find even on the net, and there's only a picture on Hogue's site.
I guess what I'm looking for are the skinny, plain wood grips that the old S&W chief's specials used to come with. If I could trim 1/4" off the length, and 1/8th" to 3/16ths" off the width of the 851, I'd be a happy camper.
Anybody have a clue as to where I can start looking?
