When you get bored
Found this 1978 S&W belt buckle on e-bay. So per normal, I bought it with no idea what to do with it.
Then when I was banging steel at 100 yards thinking I might take my 44 deer hunting I got to thinking about all the post about 44 Magmums and Bears, so WHY NOT. I flattened it out and inleted in on my Model 29-2 presitation box Looks kind of neat if I do say so my self. Don't panic. The orginal grips are under the blue bottom felt. My wife keeps telling me I'm dangerous when I get bored.

Neat! I like the black rubber with the blued gun. Looks sharp.
My wife says the same thing when I get bored.

What was wrong with using it as a buckle?

Great work Craig, nice setup. I've got a pair of Altamount grips on mine that are every bit as comfortable with full house magnums as the Pachmeyers...and look 100% better. YMMV, Rod
