Check Eagle Grips. They make a ton of the secret service style, but not sure if D/S is included. Also make sure that you check for the correct grip frame. Long (pre 1966) and short (post 1966).
Boot grips on the short frame are not going to give you much to hang on to.
Might also check Altamont's and Ajax's sites.

38-44HD45 tells me that Spegel now makes them, and that he's happy with them. I have Badgers on mine . . .

I've never owned any but the 3rd Issue ('70s) snubs - this one and an Agent that perhaps I shouldn't have sold. I had a nice Police Positive Special that was an oldie, though.





They're really nice guns, and handy, too. Just a teensy bit bigger than a J-frame, and they have that extra round.








The boxes at the bottom of each piece of paper are the exact size of the guns - easier to compare that way.

I only wish they weren't so difficult to replace - I'm loath to check one on an airplane for fear of never being able to find another should it be stolen. I've got a kydex IWB on order from Grandfather Oak for the DS - I realized a couple of weeks ago that I'd carry it more often if I had a better rig for it. I like hard IWB holsters for revolvers (particularly Colts) to minimize the rotational wear on the lockwork from being in the waistband whilst I move around.

I was looking forward to getting a badger for my Cobra. But if Spegel is making stocks for them then I may have to look into that.

You could always go old school and pick up a pachmayr insert from Numrich for 7 bucks....I also got these grips from them for $16.75



I also have the original pachmayrs with the silver medallion that came on the gun in 94 and a real nice pair of 3rd gen wood that was graciously gifted to me by our illustrious member rimfired....but these are my BBQ grips for special occasions...

Since this thread came back from the dead today, this is what my DS is sporting nowadays: old Agent stocks and a T-grip.





And sitting in a Bell Charter Oak Summer Heat - what a great combo!
