Default I know they didn't make them but.......

Has anyone ever owned a set of K-dia target grips that resemble N-Frame Coke grips?

This set has a palm swell and the butt of the grips are smaller/more round than any other set I have.

The checkering is a little worn but outside of that no chips or cracks. Checkering is consistent with other K-Dia Targets I have

They have been refinished.

I'm taking a guess that that the wood is walnut.

Just wondering if others are out there?

yes I know I need to get a real camera

They don't look like cokes to me, just from the checkering coverage area.

From past discussions of possible K frame cokes, the more knowledgeable members here have said there were no K cokes. The older target stocks in both K and N frame, though, were better shaped than the later ones.

And, I forgot to say, that's a nice pair of grips.

Yes I understand the checking area isn't any larger than any of the other K-dia I have.
Maybe these are just a earlier set with a the butts being more rounded than the others I have.

I'll probably put on the classified here one day since I really don't have a period correct revolver to put these on.....or maybe I'll have to be on the lookout around here for one.

You won't be the only poster on this site to acquire a nice set of stocks and then go hunting for the right gun to put them on!

A nice K-22 or K-38 would be perfect.
