I just put sets of Ahrends Cocobolo finger grips on three of my S&W today. The guns are a Model 10-2, Model 67 no dash, and a Model 686 no dash.

Lots of nice looking wood in this thread!
Te**ekkid, Tell us more about your Roper stocks. How long have you owned them and what if any story to go along with the gun, and if your able sometime how about a picture of the inside of both panels, especially around the area that butts up to the back of the trigger guard. It's a pretty rare style and I've wondered how certain features were made on them. It's a very looking cool DS, I'll bet King didn't do many of them.
Thanks,
Keith

How does the Ahrend retro targets compare with the regular non-finger groove grips? Looks like the regular grips appear a little longer in the toe/heel. My understanding is that the Ahrends are narrower than regular S&W K/N frame targets. I have regular S&W targets or magnas on my Smiths. By-and-large, the feel of the grips are wanting. I have a set of Pau Ferro Hogues on a Ruger Police Service Six that feel great but the Hogues don't have that "traditional" S&W look. Great handling grips though!

I can't tell you yet because the two sets of retro target grips I ordered from Ahrends haven't come in yet. They state on their website that the retro's are thinner then the non finger grip regular grips. The finger groove and the non finger groove grips also have a rounded bottom contour where the retro target grips have a flat bottom.

The Ahrends Retro Target Grips on my M15 are round to square butt and are noticeably thinner and more comfortable than the stock S&W Target grips.

Oops, should have posted in this thread instead of starting a new one. Images deleted there, reposted here:

I have bought a lot of grips from Kim Ahrends but I think he out did himself on this set. They are book marked and look identical on each side. I love the grain pattern and coloration on these grips.

I haven't checked this thread lately, so apologize for not getting back to you sooner. There's not much story to tell. I just walked into my local gun emporium one day about 3 or 4 years ago, saw it, fondled it, and couldn't walk away from it because the grips felt so good. I didn't know what I had, but have since received considerable info from Kevin Williams, a very nice young man from Austin who occasionally writes about King and Roper when he's not writing about 1911s.
Here's the requested pic. It's a little blurred, but if you look carefully you can see it's been repaired a few times over the years.

In 1993 I bought this used Model 36 as a self defense gun for my then wife. It was missing the Pachmayr medallion on the right grip, so I had to do something. Went down to the basement and put my old model airplane painting skills to use....... Wife is gone, but still got the gun!

Might as well throw in my $.02 - actually, my $5.00. These are some Sile stocks that CDNN Sports had been selling at that price or thereabouts. Not the prettiest stocks in the world, but I like the way they fit my hand so I bought dozens in J, K and N size.
