Kuracs on my 629 - wanted to share! (Pics added 10/06/14)
I wanted to share some Pics of a set of Kuracs on my 629-1.
They are French Walnut signature grade stocks. I just got them, and I'll be getting a set for my Model 19-4 shortly as well.
These are actually too nice for this gun. I feel like they belong on something special, not a plain Jane old 629-1. But I just love the way smooth Targets look on a Stainless or nickel Revolver.
Some more pics added 10/06/14:
The back of the grips, check out the palmswell - they fit my hand perfectly!
A close up - the wood grain is so beautiful:
Another of the right side:
And one more of the left:
I just can't tell you how nice these stocks are. The gun is not worthy of them!

Gorgeous stocks. I think your 629's worthy of 'em.

Thank You, the pics really came out nicely, although, they don't do the stocks justice.
If anyone is on the fence about getting a set of Kuracs, don't be.
Great person to work with, and his wife is super great to work with as well, and his work and work- product are top notch.

The grips look great and you are right, they are the best in the business to deal with!

Yessir... he has definitely taken it to a completely different level compared to when he first started selling grips here on the forum, and it has been fun to watch how he has progressed.
I have a number of the "original" grips that I bought a year or so after joining the forum on 2002, and they all pale in comparison to his current stuff, and I thought they were great back then when I got them. And now? Boy Howdy... I'd have to put him in the ranks of Keith Brown's work.

I agree - I can't wait until his next offerings are out there.
I have commissioned a set of N-Frame and a set of K-Frame Stocks for some other guns.
