My daughter is carrying my 2.5" Model 19 .357 in a Milt Sparks right now, loaded with 170 hard cast Keith loads. She is working as a cowboy/wrangler for an outfitter/guide outfit in Idaho back country. Actually the first two chambers are snake shot followed by 170 Keiths hard cast loads. I think it is a fairly good setup.
Herrett’s stocks?
Herrett's is still in business, I just ordered three sets of D-45 stocks for my 1911s a couple of weeks ago (already got them, too). They are kind of old-fashioned in their business practices, but you can call them and ask about any grips you might be interested in. 208-733-1498.
Nice folks to do business with.
