    Old versus New XR3 Grip Frames

    No plans to modify any grips. It was just a question on interchangeability. Thanks, all, for the info!

    Old versus New XR3 Grip Frames

    Are grips designed for the original XR3 (1953-1962) interchangeable with the new XR3 frames that are on the new Vaquero?

    OM .357 Flattop Grip Question

    OM .357 Flattop Grip Question

    Got a 1962-vintage .357 OM flattop, 4 5/8 barrel, that came to me with the black rubber grips (now aged to brown). I was wondering if those were correct for timeframe or if it should have walnut grips like my 1961-vintage Single Six has. Thanks in advance.

    Old Model flattops...beginning and end

    It does have the 4 5/8 barrel. Don't know the ship date, bought it from a member here. There's a thread on it.

    barrel leading

    What diameter are you crimping to? If you're using excessive crimp, you could be reducing the bullet diameter to a point where you have, in effect, an undersized bullet. That will cause leading, no matter the hardness of the alloy. I crimp to .469.
