Default My old 10-5, with bird's eye maple grips

Had this one out this morning and thought I'd take a picture. The grips are by Don Collins.

Wow, very nice. I like the contrast with the blue.

DaveNC, the revolver had PCs and a Tyler-T on it when I bought it some years back. I ordered the bird's eye maple boot grips later from Don Collins. They're a good fit for my hand.

I had maples grips made for my SAA's by a guy who was working with Bob Munden (RIP) at the time. Wonder if it's the same fellow? Yours look great; like to get a set for my 10-5 too.

All three guns look good with those stocks, grips, thingies you hold onto when you shoot the darn thing. As was stated earlier I enjoy the contrast of the blue vs. the maple.
