Is There Somplace I can Buy A S&W 642 Side Panel?

[6Gears1Speed]

I have the gun below and was thinking of doing a two tone by swapping out the side panel on the right side to a black one. It's the panel that covers the hammer and trigger assembly fastened by the three screws shown on left.
I found a handful of used ones but it's a new gun so I'd like to buy a new panel. I sent a message to S&W asking if I can buy one but knowing them I doubt it. At best they might do it for me but it would probably be price prohibitive.
I found lots of other little parts but no side panels. If anybody knows where I can get one please let me know.
Thanks.

I have a nice old model 10 that someone had carved their name into with one of those electric pencils. I asked one of the gun smiths I know about replacing the side plate and he said it wasn't worth it because they're custom fitted. I don't know, but if you do find one let me know where.

As long as they are over sized and need to be filed down rather than being too small I don't mind sitting down and filing away. I'm guessing S&W doesn't let anyone make those parts and if anyone does they get shut down quickly.
I'm not a big Ebay person but for stuff like this I look there and found two or three used ones. The finish is bad which I don't mind as I can just refinish it but I don't want edges that have nicks and dings all over.
Maybe you can find what you're looking for there.

Is model 10 a K frame?

Thanks. That guy has that listed all over the place! That's my backup if I can't find a new black one.

These side plates are an extremely tight fit. I would leave well enough alone.
