This a Smith and Wesson 469 I acquired awhile back. Back in the day, Pachmayr grips were quite the upgrade for a duty pistol.
These grips and others of this vintage are becoming increasingly difficult to find. These popped up on eBay, so I snatched them up.
While the grips are a definite upgrade, maintenance on the pistol appears lacking. Watch for an update on maintenance and a range report.
