Not yet but a Smith &Wesson model 627 is on my dream wish list. Its a 357 which holds 8 rounds and comes Nickle plated with wood grips. Really pretty in my view. Its from their custom shop.

The problem is: the more cylinders a revolver has - the more there are to clean. My solution to the problem is: don't clean them. Cleanliness may be "next to Godliness", but God isn't going to get my guns when I die, so why bother?
(Incidentally, I put the wood grips on it, and I don't find it anymore objectionable to shoot than with the rubber grips).

I find them more comfy for my paws actually then the rubber Pachmeyer type of grips. Of course having 6 inch surgery scars on both wrists from Carpal Tunnel surgery does not help the feeling or grip in my hands at all. My left hand has less then a 2lb holding grip left but I am right handed thankfully. The only gun I have not switched out to wood yet is my 1911 but all of the rest are wood. Currently my only revolver is a 1860 army model black powder pistol in 44cal. Yes that is a chore to clean for sure.

Sorry to hear about the Carpal Tunnel surgery. I had the problem, but went to my local "vet". He is a country doctor that charges #35 for an office call and $10 for a call-back. He told me if he sent me to a specialist that they would do surgery, because that is what they do. Instead he sent me to a physical therapist that he knew. I saw the guy only twice, but followed his instruction to the letter. Within 30 days I had no more symptoms.

I am glad it worked well for you as I have lived with this problem for many years now. The damage was very bad when they operated on my wrists and I also had a rare nerve disease set-in also Its called RSDS Reflex Sympathetic Dystrapy Syndrom. Your arm just burns terrible 24/7 and never quits. I still take large doses of morphine every day in order to live pain free with it. Definitely changes your whole life style forever. No grip left on left side hardly at all. I draw a pension for it monthly but would rather have proper use of my hands. I have had to learn how to do everything all over again. Tieing shoes,dressing myself,buttons and so forth. Even holding knife and forks as well. Total life changing stuff.

I'm very fortunate that my wrist injury won't leave permanent damage.

I am glad yours came out quite well as its no joy with lousy paws and almost NO tactical feel at all. I have had this problem since 1974 and have had to learn how to do everything all over again. Really weird and challenging when you are a mechanic by trade and you keep dropping the wrenchs. Its amazing just how creative the human mind can become when having to do this kind of thing as well. You do survive one way or another. I used to get really frustrated in the beginng but would step back and rethink what I was doing and figure out a way to do it. Now its old hat but it took years to get to where I am now. I have to almost stare at every tool to make sure I have a solid grip on them. You learn to do this without even thinking about it at all over time. This way I know if I have a solid grip on something.
