Zane Thompson (Lone Star Custom Grips) made these red stag panels for my CM. I really like them - need a Tyler T to finish the package.

Nice looking gun and grips. Don't spoil the nice clean lines with an ugly grip adapter.

Great looking elk! They will look and feel better with a grip adapter. Plenty available on the secondary market but our own, wrangler5, makes the B K Grip Adapter.

I love the the stags, but do not understand the fascination with grip adapters.
Very nice looking grips.
Quick question is the left side scalloped different ? I like it.

At least in my hand the grip adapter provides a much firmer, hand filing grip. One I was only able to duplicate by altering a pair of factory target stocks.

Those are very nice!
I like a grip adaptor depending on the gun and the vintage.
Would I put a Tyler T on a triple lock? No.
Does a pre war adaptor like appropriate on a RM? Absolutely.

Congrats and thanks for sharing,

Those red stag grips look great on your revolver. I have some similar that I bought several years ago from Rogers Custom Grips. I like the look.

I like the color of the red stag a little better than elk stag, so when I saw on Instagram that Zane had some, I placed my order. He's made some beautiful Roper style stocks for N Frame for me as well as some fancy walnut Ruger single action grip panels. He's a master craftsman, maybe not as well known as some but top tier work and fitting.

I have a set of stags on my 1911 and a set of sheep horn on a Ruger Blackhawk, but for my S&W revolvers, I REALLY like Ahrends slimmed down retro target stocks. They fit my hand like no others I've tried. I sent them some fancy walnut they did for $10 extra and I put them on an engraved M-66. I'm not eligible to post pics yet, but the package really looks great.

Yes, there is a small relief scallop on the left side to avoid interference with speed loaders
Very classy looking grips.
Just curious will you need to inlet the back of stag grips to accommodate the metal flaps ? Sometimes on wood it will indent or I see a mod.

Good question, I'm not sure. I had some stags on a round butt J-frame with a Tyler and didn't have to do any mods, but I can see how it could be an issue.

I am guessing you are asking about the tabs of a grip adapter? If you remove any material around where the grip adapter tabs wrap the frame, you are weakening the bond. All of my shooting revolvers have Magnas and grip adapters, NONE have been relieved. I do not understand how a relief could help?
