Herrett's Stocks Are Back in Business

[Onomea]

My understanding is that Herrett's has moved, and it took them a while to get set up again.

As of last spring, a difference that I heard about was that they were no longer maintaining an FFL, so unless they had a model of your gun, they could not receive your gun to custom fit. I hope that changes.

They are a treasure for our community.

You may have scanned the wrong picture. The grips in the picture are by Mustang.

I have owned and traded more handguns and grips than I can remember. I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure those are Herrett Jordan Troopers with the finger groove option, sized to my hand in a pencil tracing sent to Steve in Idaho. The uncommon finger groove option changes the look, and they do resemble some Mustangs, which I have also used, so I guess I could be wrong?

Great news to hear they are still around. Once again you guys are going to cost me some money.

Herrett's never really closed...but they did slow down earlier this year because they moved down the street from the location they had been since Steve Herrett had the business...

I was lucky enough to visit the factory in May and pick out my own walnut blanks. I had a set of N-frame Detective model socks that fit my hand perfectly and left that set with them to be duplicated in two round and two square butt models. They were delivered in August just when they said they would be.

Maybe it was my fault when I posted the sentence about Herrett's stop. You know, all infos I have here overseas are obtained from readings on the web. I'm happy to hear the production is still going on, I'm a fan of this brand and I have several stocks I purchased after long hunts!

Always great news when an old maker of almost anything is back in business...

I looked, and no sign of the Jordan Troopers that used to be popular, or for that matter any of their former product line, and no prices listed
Makes you wonder if the website is still under construction, or if production is limited to what they show?

I order a custom set in the last three years. Super pleasant on the phone and delivered on time, no fuss, no muss.

...I think there is a lot more available than is showing on the website...

Hello, I found these shooting stars a couple of months ago and I'm loving them on my 37.

I have Herrett's stocks smooth cocobolo on my Model 29 at left, Jordan Border Patrol in walnut on my Model 19 2nd from left,
and cocobolo double diamond panels on my Colt's Gold Cup 3rd from left. You could say I like them.

20 year old cocobola on a 64.

This is good news indeed. Herrett's has always been the gold standard for custom-fit stocks, and I'm glad to hear they are still around to provide good products.

This set of Herrett's Shooting Stars was custom made to a pattern of my hand way back in the 1970s, at it's still the most confortable set of stocks on a J-frame for me. Originally these went on a Model 60, but now fit perfectly on a Model 640.

I had a set just like that but without the checking on a early 70s vintage Model 49 Bodyguard...unfortunately the gun was stolen in a burglary...have never had a better shooting snubbie... Used to be able to put 5/5 on a High-C juice can at 50 yards...

Great to hear!

Herretts Jordan Troopers on my M640-1

I like those!

I recently put a set of "NOS" Shooting Stars on my new Python and really like the look and feel. They're much more svelte than most grips made for the Python and the old school makes them look right at home. They were included in a bundle of grips I picked up a couple years ago. Glad I didn't get rid of them.

Beautiful guns & stocks y'all.

You know how sometimes a thread here on the Smith & Wesson Forum will cost you money? For me, this is one of those. I somehow ended up buying some NOS skip-lined Shooting Stars. A nice set Herrett's have long been on my radar and looking at the fine examples here nudged me over the edge. Thanks!

I have an older RB set on a Model 19-3. Not sure what type they are, but they seem to fit a large hand well.

 

[Miami_JBT]

I have a pair of Shooting Stars. One currently is worn on one of my Model 15s and the other is on a low back 150 prefix Ruger Security Six.

Here's the Model 15.

I spoke to Robin at Herrett's again today...

To answer a question raised earlier in the thread, yes the website is a work in progress. They can still make all the classic designs, such as the Shooting Star, Detective, Jordans, et al. If you're interested in something, give them a call and I'm sure your questions can be addressed.

Whatever growing pains there may be in getting the website to where it needs to be, their stocks, whether production or custom, are top notch and very much in the Herrett's tradition, in keeping with their standard of excellence, with each design reflecting decades of of stock making expertise.

I'm so glad so many have responded to the this thread and posted so many wonderful photographs. I've enjoyed them all and am now thinking about ordering something from Herrett's for a J frame...
