This side plate is blue steel finish — not compatible with stainless J Frame revolvers. Side plates are frame-specific and finish-specific. Always confirm your exact model and finish before ordering. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not pry the side plate — remove the screws and rap the grip sharply with a rubber mallet to free it.
