Wanted: Taurus .357 grips and speed loaders

[grifff]

Hi looking for grips and speed loaders for a Taurus .357. I don't mind if they are standard or aftermarket grips. Speed loaders I currently have hks so either more of those or if there is a better type??

Thanks

There are different cylinder configurations depending on the model.

Which HKS model are you using, or which Taurus is it for? It is a 6 or 7 round cylinder?

I don't think they'll fit, they look like one piece bolted from underneath, I need 2 parts that bolt through the side.

They fit with screws, bolts are used for heavy duty work like engine to gearbox mounting.

They do but have you heard the term they screw through, not common in these parts.

Not necessarily. I assume the Taurus is similar. Which model are you fitting the grips to?

I think the coat hanger sticking out of the back will be the issue

Do they not have an open back strap?

not common in these parts. Do you mean in Warwickshire? I did my apprenticeship in Coventry and at Humber Cars we screwed stuff together. Or screwed up the build which was more often the case.

Yes Warwickshire, I've been a mechanic for 20+ years and we bolt things back together. Either way really I'm looking for grips

I have after market grips and they are one piece. You get a little bracket to screw a single screw in which attaches to the frame.

Thanks, did you need to cut them much?

I got a nice set for my S&W from a seller on eBay, they’re well made and fit every bit as well as the Nill Grips on my other gun.

The same seller does different styles if you don’t like the extended butt like this.

I think they also offered Taurus grips, although I don’t see any currently listed. Be worth sending them a message and asking though.

Something like this?

No cutting involved a straight forward fit as the back strap slot allows for the brace. Very similar to this.

I got my 7-round speed loaders from Brownells - at the time they were much cheaper than anywhere else in the UK.
