Keith Brown Appreciation Thread

gripper · Oct 4, 2012

I have been fortunate enough to aquire a number of grips made by Keith Brown over the last year or so. He is both a craftsman and an artist to say the least when it comes to grip making. There have been a few threads lately with members showing off their KB grips, so I thought it might be time to have a thread dedicated to a display of his fine and unique work. Enjoy.

In addition to being a true artist, Keith is a gentleman
& a heck of a nice guy.

I have been interested for some time in buying a set of Brown's stocks but his website is still down and I have no way to peruse his offerings.

Wiregrassguy · Oct 5, 2012

SP,
Look on ebay.

This is among my favorite kind of thread here. Not only do we get to see some amazing stocks, but also the very fine revolvers deserving of them. Thanks to all for sharing these photos.

The amazing quality of Keith's workmanship is so evident here. His stocks are on a completely different level than the ones from the factory. My first order goes in tomorrow.
