My S&W 627 trigger is SO smooth now with no stepping whatsoever. Great new green optic front sight, oversized cylinder release, extended firing pin, cylinder chamfering; you name it, they did it. After receiving my S&W 627 and firing it, I immediately sent in my S&W 638 snub-nose for an upgrade. They also did a great job with my S&W 638. No stepping at all. Just perfect! I'm a HUGE fan!

They are intricately carved very carefully. The details of the texture on the scales was unexpected. They way they fit seems almost as if they were custom fitted to my gun. And I only paid $49. Seriously. Mind blown.

Now, these grips provide me with better control shooting this revolver. The original grips were smooth and did not allow for single handed control as these checkered ones do as the checkering stops the slipping because they "grip" the skin.

This is my first negative review on Yelp. Unbelievably rude service. Came in to politely offer a…read moretrade which this guy immediately took as a d**k measuring contest even though I bought about $250 worth of merchandise from this guy the day before (I should've learned my lesson because he patronized a teenager asking an honest question about fishing equipment while I was checking out). This person didnt even know what I had because it took him 5 minutes to look it up in his computer. Instead of giving me a counter offer, the guy laughed at me and just told me "not even close." I asked him "well how 'not even close' am I" about 3 times. He tried to lecture me about how he can't price gauge his customers for anything less than 83% markup. He offered me less than half of what the gun is worth on the market. I said no thanks and he didn't even thank me for coming in. I hold 1 on 1 negotiations for $1 million - $50 million dollar deals in my day job. There is understandably some tension in those negotiations. But this guy is so insecure that he can't negotiate with a would-be long-term customer over only hundreds of dollars without being courteous and polite. I concur with Mark M. and David C., this place should be called "Frownies" and it's the worst place ever. Just wish I could return that purchase from the day before in protest of this customer service nightmare. That guy's momma did a bad job. Never shopping at "Smiley's" again. Go out of town to avoid this place. You'll be smiling if you do.
