More Prettier...

...And for serious black bear country. I will never own a Smith with a Hillary-Hole, nor carry an older one with wooden furniture. I simply cannot sustain an acceptable cyclic rate of fire with the sort of grips pictured, even though they are somewhat classic and classy. Magnums are meant to be fully charged and for me that means rubber. Not that any 29 can handle Ruger-Only-Cartridges, but it gets close enough and the damned thing is so purdy.

The problem with living in Florida is the fact that there are perhaps 20 days out of a full year where one might even try to conceal so large a weapon, but those are 20 fun-filled days indeed.
