$15 revolver hammer temporary shrouds. S&W J-frames only at this time. I’m curious about whether they really only fit J-frames.

Read MoreNew MS AG opinion on municipalities regulating carry of guns
There is a new Mississippi AG’s opinion on municipalities regulating carry of guns. Read it carefully. He’s crawfishing on some previous opinions.
