The 145b version is especially made for I-frame revolvers
such as the 2nd Model Single Action in 38 S&W caliber,
S&W Perfected Model in .38 S&W Cal., S&W .38 New Departure,
Hammerless in .38 S&W cal., S&W 38 Double Action in .38 S&W Cal.,
and S&W Regulation Police Model in .38 S&W Cal.
The .32 S&W caliber guns usually have smaller frames and
take a smaller grip. Send a tracing if you are not sure
about the size, as both 38 and 32 sometimes used the same
grips.
Note: Although not shown, the grips come with
a screw kit installed and have the universal length
screw supplied, by default.
The Regulation Police has a step in the back strap, and
was normally sold with an extended, square-butt set of
grips that had a filler converting the round butt frame
to use a square butt grip. IF YOU CHECK THE BOX I will send
a filler that lets you use the grips on the Regulation
Police, to fill in the small step and go across the base.
You can simply sand the filler to fit your gun, and epoxy
it to one of the grip panels. Then drill a small hole in
the other end of the spacer, press a small pin into it (or
use a small piece of cut-off coat hanger wire with the end
sanded smooth, and make another hole to accept the end of
the pin in the back of the other grip panel.
Then, when you attach the grip with the spacer, there
will be a solid back and base area extending beyond the
grip, but you'll still have a nice round butt grip. The
other grip panel can be aligned, pressed gently into
place, and the pin will engage the panel at the bottom so
it will be quite strong. Both panels also engage a factory
alignment pin (you need to mark and drill the shallow
hole in both grip panels to match your gun exactly -- mark
the pin with a "Magic Marker" and press the panel against it
to indicate where to make the little hole).
It's not hard; you just need to go slowly and not take a
power sander or dril to it! Take 30-45 minutes and you'll
have a beautiful fit even if you never did it before. Use a
fingernail sanding board, coarse and medium grit, to shape
the spacer and grips for a good match. Put the grips on the
gun every time you take a few passes, as you get closer
to finished. That will keep the project simple and insure
that you stop when you reach a good fit, instead of rushing
past it (like impatient people seem to do!).
Here are the starting dimensions for the grip:
- Width across base (C): 1.1 inches
- Height of front corner from base (D): 1.8 inches
- Height of rear corner from base (E): 2.6 inches
- Step at top front (H): .14 inch
- Step at top rear (I): .19 inch
- Height of round top above step line: .275 inch
- Thickness at the top: 0.2 inch (aprox)
- Thickness near base: 0.38 inch (aprox)
- Width across top ears (A): 1.09 inch
- Height of screw hole (F): 1.085 inch
- Width across screw hole: 1.24 inch
- Rear edge to screw hole center (G): 0.618 inch
Please note that the screw hole location doesn't have to
be exactly the same as your gun, as this doesn't match
any specific holes in the gun frame. It just needs to miss
the hammer spring, and it probably will if it is anywhere
close to the dimension shown.
