Altamonts seem to be good value for the money.

I've read that they are typically made of layered birchwood that is impregnated with polyurethane. The wood names, like rosewood or super walnut, are just used to describe the colors available - not the actual material.

But on the "premium" Roper-style grips, the olive wood, and the other option, walnut, look like the real thing. Anyone know if they are real olive wood or walnut, not the laminated birch?

Someone earlier mentioned they like the palm swells... which are not found on the Roper homage grips. Altamont's web page says these are available on their premium "S&W K Round Conversion 'Coke Bottle' Target American Walnut" grips.

Thanks
