Unhappy New user and have questions.

Hello I have recently inherited a 6 inch Security Six blued with a prefix 150, a speed loader, and a leather holster and belt. The gun is from 1973. The grips that are on it are some rubber pachmayr with finger indents, however they were not made for it so they fit awkward. There is no modifications done to the grips or the gun itself. I am a recent college graduate and struggling to make ends meet each month. Basically I am looking for ANY grips that are made for this gun but hopefully at a low price if not free (Wishful thinking). If anyone could be so kindly to help me out on where I can find some, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Throw a thread in the "Classifieds" Who knows, someone might have a set of throw-aways they don't want. It can't hurt. Oh and welcome from Nebraska!

if i'm not mistaken he can't put anything in classifieds until he's commented or initiated a thread 10+ times.

doubtless, someone will have an answer to the question. if you don't get what you're looking for in a day or so, repost the same question in the revolvers subforum here. someone who frequents that part of the forum should definitely have an answer for you, or know where to steer you.

lol, a moderator told me how to do it, but i still haven't been able to. i suspect in my case it's a mac vs pc issue (since i can't do some of the commands in the instructions).

Outside Eugene is where I grew up in Veneta, and I just graduated from Western Oregon University a few months ago. I am in Monmouth still until I can get a better paying job.

eugene's where i lived! loved that whole area. wish i still lived there.

in re: the club icon thing i just figured it out for my mac. go to new member subforum. find the sticky for editing signature. open that one up. create a whole new window (so the directions you just opened don't go away). click on user cp, click on edit signature THEN go back to the sticky page directions and copy/cut/paste the club you want. you'll have to look at the link carefully and make it's the one you want or change that little bit toward the end. all i had to do was swap out whatever that part said and put in P95 in that section, then click preview. looked good, so then clicked save. did same for 1022, but realized i had to add both at the same time so i just copied/cut/pasted the P95 part, added the 1022 part, previewed both, and clicked save. seems to have worked out. i don't know if you're on a mac but i think that's why i had trouble-- no right click options, etc.
