New Badger Rosewood Stock on 686
Tell me what you think. I like the look but there is gap between the stock and the trigger guard....bugging me.

They look great. I can't see the gap but it would probably bother me too.

Top picture right where it comes up to the trigger guard. You can see it is lighter.

OK, I see what you're talking about. I think I could live with that.

Well, on a second look, maybe not. I'd contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say. I've heard he's not much fun to deal with.

I may pull them off and use just a little stain on the inside right there so it doesn't stand out as much. They feel great, much better than the factory Hogues. I had to pull the pistol out and look at it again. The gap is not as bad as it looks in that photo. I think the photo angle and flash made it look worse.

They look very nice, but for me I don't like laminates. Original wood is the way I always go. This is just me and my stupid opinionated ways.

Nice!
Jim Badger is a great craftsman and a great guy to deal with.
If they don't fit exactly right for you, he'll fix'em.

I really did not notice the gap until the I looked at the picture. It is not that much. I was just nitpicking, the grips are very nice.
