Greetings,

I recently acquired an SSM stamped 32 H&R, unfortunately not a 4 5/8" version, but I need a grip frame and panels for it. Somewhere along the line someone has converted it to a newer steel XR3 style, or at least I'm assuming given the horrible fit on the grip to frame, picture below. I pulled the panels and there is no model on the grip frame so I'm assuming after market. I'd like to get the original grip frame and panels for it if someone has some they would like to get rid of.

Thanks,

By chance could that be one of the early 'mini' Vaquero type ,or the 'SASS' one that uses the shorter grip frame its like 1/4 inch shorter than the XR-3 Red, thats why it was changed out??????:unsure:;)

Its a first year three digit gun with the SSM stamping if that helps. I would say a 1/4" is probably pretty close to how much room it sticks up by the hammer.

I have a nice grip frame and will have to check my grips cache to see what's there.

…in the meantime this picture or two, will have have to be what you seek.😉

Looks very similar but a shorter barrel and without all of those wonderful extras.......:D

Mine probably has a few more rounds through it too.

Nice 5.5" 😁

Well I got thinking I might know where the frame & grips might be and the hunt was a success…
Send me a PM with a email address and I will send some more pictures & details.
