Default grip makers

Good morning,
I know there are some great grip makers on this forum, and thought I had saved the names, but I guess I did not,
I have a friend that wants a set of finger groove in ebony. Can anyone give me a link? It would be nice to pass the business to a forum member.
Thanks,
clipper1

Don Collins will make what you need for about $100:

S&W N frame Pistol Grip - Custom Pistol Grips and Kits - CollinsCraftGrips

He will make these out of ebony as well as rosewood, etc.

You can reach him at: [email protected]

He is not much for phone calls. His work is outstanding. I recently bought a set of ivory Magna-style panels for my Model 57, and they are perfect.

-Member Kurac makes some great grips from all kinds of woods. He currently has an add in the classifieds for 16 sets of grips, he can also make grips with S&W emblems.

-Member Executioner makes a great assortment of grips from stag. He can make them for any frame and any shape with or without emblems.

-Member Bis45, also known as Keith Brown, from Keith Brown grips: KEITH BROWN GRIPS can make pretty much any style of S&W grips from any type of wood you would like. His work can be seen on his website and frequently on this forum as members buy a lot of his grips. There's a thread in the first hand ejector forum about some new Keith Brown grips that are amazing.

Thats the only makers on the forum that I can think of. There are a couple of great grip restorers on the forum as well.

Jim Badger. I don't have a link for him, but his grips are top notch & he is too when you're dealing with him.

Don Collins does excellent work. This Model 27 has grips he made for me of white corian. They are flawless.
