Cool pictures comparing the grips, Wiz. 8-) I didn't realize that there was that much of a difference between your model's stock grips and the after-market Tamer.

Re. jeans front pocket carry. At times I have my EDC riding along that way. This may not work for you, but thought I'd send it your way for possible consideration. I had bought a sticky holster for my Bond Arms derringer. https://bondarms.com/shop/holsters/sticky-holster/ It worked pretty well. I just decided one day to see how it would fit & carry my LCR revolver. It fit well, but as you noted, the longer grips "peek out" a little at the top of a jeans pocket. I usually wear my summer shirts out, or a sleeveless vest for EDC. So the grip is completely covered and my preferred way for EDC. The plus is that the sticky holster works nice, and for the most part, keeps the revolver pretty stable in the pocket. That's because it's "sticky." :lol:

Just never know what you're getting in a holster, however. BA didn't provide the size specs of the holster. Since it was designed for use with their derringers, I took the chance, and the derringer fit just fine. Mine fit best with a 3-1/2' barrel attached, but wasn't good at all with my 4-1/2" barrel in .357 magnum. This meant the derringer EDC was an O/U two-shot 9MM. Then decided to try my LCR revolver. Since my LCR has a 3" barrel, I had a pretty good fit. So I can EDC either of my LCRs using the sticky. Nice to have options. :)

Probably too much info your way....but one never knows!

Will look forward to your revolver Range Report! ;) Have a good day.

Interesting use of a derringer holster. Got me thinking. :o
