Great concept (08/03/2013)

This is being used on a S&W 625JM for competitive shooting. It's a great idea and in use by a number of people I shoot with. It allows release of the cylinder w/out changing your shooting grip too much. The only downside - in the "standard" length, it's too short. I have normal/large hands and I still have to change my grip to fully depress it. I just ordered the "extended" version and I suspect it will be perfect. The standard should be great for lefties or anyone who presses the cylinder release w/ their left thumb. Installation took 30 seconds or less, if you can use a screwdriver you can put this on with confidence. It also looks great on a competition revolver. It's a little pricey for what it is, but I have no doubt it will perform a lifetime of service and then some. Make sure the rules for your sport allow it though, some games don't permit this modification.

It feels like I have a new pistol (10/08/2012)

I watched videos of how I reload my revolver at matches. I noticed by changing my grip it is taking me longer to reload the moon clips and get back on target. I saw it in use at the ICORE Regional match at Ontelaunee R&G club. The first day I took this to the range it cut down my reloading time and getting the sights back on target. I installed it on a S&W 627 and it fit perfect. Ii also fit on my holster with no problems. I recommend this to anyone who wants to speed up their reloading time with a revolver.

The right part for the revolver. (09/09/2018)

If you have more than one Smith & Wesson revolver, here are some things you need to consider: 1) hand size, 2) grip size, 3) model of revolver. For me I find the short version works on the models like K and L. For the models 629 and 627, the long version. As I had more than one model, I ordered one of each. From those two I could determine which I liked and ordered others from there.
