Any suggestions.

Default Your new to you 581

I like the Ahrends Retro Combat grips, and have his tung oil finished grips on my Models 15, 17, 19, 48 and 586, several in Coco Bolo, one in Goncal Alves and one in Padauk. They look and feel great.

Enjoy your new 581! I'm hoping to find a 581/681 myself.

I'd go with a set of factory PC Magnas! Or a factory Target grip.

Gosh, there are so many options...Magnas with a BK grip adapter, factory targets, Ahrends, Altamont, Eagle, Kuracs, Ropers, Keith Brown, and many more I left out. The fun part is finding what you want. Good luck!

Simply perfect! I've always thought of the 581/681 as the modern version of the .38/44 HD.

fjt, Nice 581! I've got a set of grips that would look great on it. Just send the gun, and I will install them at no charge! Will field test it also! ..............I know, it's not that funny! Enjoy your 581. Bob
