Post your favorite S&W revolver GRIPS

I've been selling off lots of excess stocks and any with issues. I'm trying to complete my N-frame collection...obviously need some Cokes.

 

[MetalMan]

Ahrends and Spegels....both purchased from fellow forum members.....

 

[boykinlp]

I want some Culinas badly,......

Can't go wrong with them!

Classic old Smith & Wesson Cokes:

Nice grips, but not Cokes. Those are much later grips.

Really nice!! The grain on the smooth targets is exceptional!!!

 

[boykinlp]

I think these are my favorite because they're my favorite S&W style "deep dished/gold plated" and still have "mint luster" from 1915. They're also on the most expensive handgun I ever bought.

jebstuart,
We definitely need a picture!

These are my favorite to look at but my most unfavorite to shoot.

I agree! I really like the looks of factory combats, but for general, use, I like Ahrends.

 

[tjpopkin]

Keith Brown's stocks are masterpieces of woodwork...and they are comfortable....many believe too pretty to shoot....nonsense!!!


But Kim Ahrends makes the most comfortable grips I have ever shot, and in some cases,, I have asked for "eye-candy"....







The list goes on....I have 35 sets of his stocks and love them.....

Then there is the gun that was my mom's...with elephant ivory stocks done by Dan Chesiak, many years ago.....



A pair he did for me on my Custom 1911...with my logo....



a pair from Colt Custom on their commemorative Lawman .45



AND FINALLY...
Stocks made BY MY DAD for his Match Target Colt....not only beautiful, but perfect checkering and fit...even for me...

I have many grips for my S&W and Colt revolvers in a storage bin, but I have not bought any more once I got a set of Nill grips. Perfect ergonomics and grip texture. Karl is the best!!

Your mom has great tastes and your dad is very talented!!!

My mistake....

Oh- Oh- S&W grips not S&W gripes - my mistake - never mind ........
(Not that I have a lot)

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Going with these.

Classic old Smith & Wesson Cokes:



Great fit, great carry...Ahrends

What type of finish does that black revolver have?

 

[6GUNSONLY]

Later smooth targets on my 6" pre-27. I have the numbered diamond magnas but like these for shooting.

Some of the newer Pachmayer laminates on my 66-1 2 1/2":

 

[prairieviper]

My 617 with Ahrends Retro Combat in Goncalo Alves wood.

 

[Rock185]

Keith Brown "Cokes" in Black Walnut made for my 27-2. Very subdued color and grain. Have to admit, if I had it to do over I would order a brighter, more colorful wood.

I love a great set of custom grips.

I have sold off some of these guns, but the pics of wood and steel are too good not to share.

Model 19-4 wearing John Culina Kuracs in Pink Eucalyptus. Sold the gun and the grips together. They were a beautiful combination:



629-1 wearing Royal Walnut John Culina Kuracs. I gave this gun with these grips to a good friend of mine for Christmas last year.



Same Gun with Cocobolo Kuracs. I still have these grips. I will get a Stainless N Frame for these, maybe a 5" or 6" 629.





John Culina outdid himself with these grips.

6" model 29-2, grips are Kuracs in Roasted Birds Eye Maple. Sold the gun, still have the grips. Need a nice blued N-Frame for these.



A few years ago while Keith Brown was still taking orders, I commissioned a set of Tulip style Roeperish grips from Redheart for my 629 No Dash. I sold the gun and the grips separately. The grips and the gun together looked amazing.





A pic of Mr. Browns Finest with Mr. Culina Finest. They go together nicely



My latest set of custom grips, Finger Groove Combat Targets in Bubinga by John Culina on my 586 4". I still have the gun and the grips. Neither are going anywhere.





So there you have it, like many others I am a sucker for a great set of custom grips.

 

[Nedroe]

How Bout This....

For a service grip

I know it's hard, but, try'n ignore the gun.

 

[Nedroe]

Another Nice Pair.....

You'll have to try'n ignore the gun again

There's more around here somewhere.
