Franzite clone. I bought the originals off ebay in search of a thin styled grips that suited me. First off i noticed poor fillout in the molded plastic, sharp edges, and lack of quality control we have become accustomed to in this "Day and Age". But what I saw was a diamond in the rough. The original design was excellent, with my eyes closed I held the model 24 outstretched to simulate firing the action. First I noticed the grips afforded a high hand hold that i was not used to but the lack of palmswell compliments this style very well. I am guessing that these were designed with bullseye shooting in mind. Being a grip maker, stocksmith, or whatever you call it, I felt I had to do this design justice. Here are the pictures-

I am back to making grips, and what i want to know is ... what do you want? ven if its combining aspects of different types of grips. Also frame size, style, kind of wood, etc. Does anybody have a set of sythetic/ plastic grips that they want done in nice wood?
