Hoop steps for side-mount tanks

[rich weyand]

I have a S&W 619 myself.

Oh, if you do get those bars, when you drill the holes (one for each side), use a 1/4" drill at slow speed with a lot of pressure. There are times to use high speeds with a drill. Putting a 1/4" hole in a 1/8" thick piece of cold-rolled steel isn't one of them. Then use a step drill to open up the hole to the proper size.
