Yes, the grips are pretty but I goofed and they are way too small for my hands. I guess they'll stay on there until I shoot the thing. You would not believe how beat up this used gun was. It broke your heart just to look at it. A friend told me years ago, if you have a choice, buy stainless. You can always buff out the problems. He was correct. He even gets rid of that useless Ruger warning statement on his guns.
Smith and Wesson 686 .357 magnum. One of the best designs ever made.
It will fill the area on the frontstap and you can still use those nice grips. It will fill your hand better without adding bulk.
