I would like to see some pictures of the grips on your guns Please? I always say the grip makes the gun. So lets see your Speagels, Eagles, Ahrends, and Hogue. Also post pictures of grips done by VM. Also any grips I forgot to mention. I just love gun porn.

I like 'em original:

Cokes on my 4" 57:





Diamond Targets on my 65-2(I know, wrong gun and vintage but they were free, 65 now wears correct PC Magnas while these languish in the safe):





Diamond Magnas (terminology?) numbered to the gun on K-22 CM:



My eye is always drawn to guns wearing correct grips even if more practical aftermarkets exist. I figure shoot'em the way God intended but your and others' MMV.

Scott

Sounds Like you wanna see "Stocks" Not Grips

My 547 from 1981 and my 29-2 from 1976, both wearing stocks from Mike.

There's nothing wrong with the stock market on this web site!

I learned recently these are Indian Sambar...

Those are some great looking grips guys. Please keep them coming.

My preference has always been for factory grips. I also like the way different grips can change the look of the same gun.

Here is my Model 66-2 wearing a host of factory options:

The older 629 Classic DX's came from the factory with Hoque rubber monogrips and these Morado wood combat grips. Morado wood is also know as Brazilian Rosewood.

And a set of Hogue Pau Ferro finger grooved combats on a 620.

All are Hogue smooth Tulipwood. The combat grips are waiting for me to find a nice 66 snubnose to put them on.

Let's not forget Executioner's fine work:


And here is a set done by VM:

Original Deacon Deason Skelton style on a 24-3:


John Hurst, on my old LAPD OFF-DUTY 649:


Keith Brown Ropers on a non-reg magnun:

The grips look great guys! Those are some nice looking factory grips as well. I also like the Herrets. Someday I'll have the money and the patience to order a set. I figure I'll need to order some from them since S&W targets are a little large, and Ahrends are a little too small.

What is the grip size difference between Jordan Troopers and Ropers made by Herrets?

some nice "stock" S&W grips on my model 34

Morini match targets on a 10-7

My Bisley Blackhawk has Eagle sambar stag stocks (from back when they were $79!!!!) shaped by John Gallagher:

Winter1857 I really like the looks of those maple stocks on your model 13.

Get some. They are great stocks. There are plenty of examples of his work on these forums!

mm6mm6, thats a very handsome collection of handguns/grips that you have there. Also, some very nice photography!

Not only are the grips beautiful but I really have to compliment you guys on some fantastic photography.

Non relieved diamonds on 17-3

mm6mm6- You have great taste in leather gear.
You need some floral carved with the blacked out background to go with those fine guns. Let me guess, you have it.

Awsome pic's!!! Got me lickin' my chop's for new stock for my S&W 19-5 .357. I can only dream of such portfolio's as i've seen here.Thank's for the entertainment.

Here are my Hogue Mono grips on my 66.

Hogue mono grips I bought from someone on my 66-2. Not sure of the wood, was hoping to see another set here so I can find out. Maybe Tuilp wood?? After seeing the thread of Executioners grips, these will be coming off for a set of his.

Thank you Executioner . . .

Model 19s, three with combats.


Cokes, Combats and Aherends on Model 29s



Stags, Spegel Boot, Colins (sorry, I love Blue), and (forgot)

While I prefer natural wood grain to anything else, that blue is rather fetching on a deep blued Smith! Nice.

Factory with a nice grain!
