A while back, a fellow forum member asked me to do a thread on stocks by John Hurst. I used to have many more sets, but what I have left I think gives a good idea of what kind of work John did. John was a contemporary of Farrant, Hogue and Stark and worked the Academy during the same period. He was probably the greatest pistol shot the LAPD ever produced. The stocks he made incorporated his ideas. If you look closely, you'll notice his grips are similar to Walter Stark, another LAPD great.

Here's a notched set on a K-frame PPC revolver (John's personal one). Notice the palm swells and open backstrap, a Hurst trademark:




Here's a couple of J-Frames in Cocobolo and Micarta. Notice the palmswell. John also did flawless checkering.



Here's a nice set of Cocobolo K-Frames for a round-butt. Palmswells, open backstrap and nice checkering. John also made semi-auto stocks and target stocks for bullseye and ISU guns. At one time, all the LAPD pistol team had John's grips on their revolvers.
