Sometimes I buy snub nose revolver-related items just because...well, that's what I do. Found these weird and ugly Colt D Frame grips on Gunbroker. Cannot identify the manufacturer, but they look a lot like the old Bianchi lightning grips designed to shield the hammer.

My first thought is that these are both ugly and impractical. They shield the hammer, presumably for snag-free deep concealment, but are absolutely HUGE compared to standard grips. They add an inch + to the grip length. Stupid. I want to learn more about the manufacturer. Will strip them and cut them down if no collector value. Anyone seen these before, in wood?
