Some bonded ivory panels from Altamont
I know these aren't going to fool anyone, but for $38 a pair they look nice and feel good with the t-grip. No worries about damaging them, oils, etc.
Magna's and a t-grip is still my preferred set up for square frame S&W's.
It is amazing how much a good phone camera brings out that oily thumbprint you didn't see when you took the picture...

I like them. I think the bonded ivory looks great, and it's definitely more practical for everyday use.

They are nice looking. I am not a T grip fan but lots of folks are.

I like a lot of Altamont's stuff. I bought a set of J frame combats and they fit well and feel great in my hand. Didn't cost an arm and a leg either.

Your bonded ivory grips should age in time

Kind of fond of Bonded Ivory myself. Mine have started to age a little.

Gunnrovers,
Nice looking guns. Who made your plug and how do you like it? I may have to try some of those grips as they look great and will probably survive EDC.

I have mostly Rosewood Altamont’s but I do have one set of bonded ivory, I had them on my Nickel 3” M13-3 then decided to swap them out for a set of Rosewood, they are sitting in my stock drawer now.

These, on my Model 29, are by Ajax. They called it poly-ivory.
The IWB is called ITP (in the pants), from OTP (Old Trading Post)

Any way to speed up the process?
Don't want to appear impatient ( yes , I'm old ) but do you know of any to speed up the "aging" process on those simulated ivory grips?
Thanks
Dante

You can soak them in tea or coffee for a darker color, it just yellows them faster.

I have heard that soaking them in Tea will "hurry the aging". I have not done this myself, so don't have first hand proof.

Notice that ITP holster does not show a lot of wear.
