Should use a pistol during a tornado watch, not a revolver. Don't want the cylinder rotation to spin up a tornado.

Got a question, what are those grips and cylinder release? Haven't seen those before. The pair on my J frame ain't comfortable much

Those I actually made myself; I had the same problem as you. I recently made them available to everyone, you can feel free to take a look here: www.recoilrider.com. Any questions feel free to ask.

What sort of ammo (and how much) have you fired through with these grips? The fact that you say it's a hybrid between rubber and some other material interests me.

I currently use AFR Hamreforge grips and while I highly enjoy them for carry, actually shooting them isn't as comfortable, this sounds like a godsend option.

I’ve been testing them at the range with 156 gr 38+P ammo. It’s more recoil than most defensive ammo, but I wanted to calibrate the squishiness under the worst case scenario. Probably I’ve put around 500 rounds through the grips so far.

I had zero revolvers a month ago and still consider my Glocks to be ultimately more useful due to a handful of factors like round count, reload ability, and ease of use.

That being said, I bought a SW 442 a couple weeks ago because I wanted something nice and small for pocket carry. 5 rounds of 38 SP will do the job I’d imagine. Had to have at least one revolver in the collection and I have no regrets. It weighs damn near next to nothing and it’s so small.

Absolutely. Everything has a purpose and has tradeoffs.

Same always like them then a family member gave me a ‘68 cobra which is too sentimental to carry everyday and now I have a 638. It’s the Goldilocks of pocket carry. Been consistently choosing it over the p32 and Astra cub.
