Like My Women ....
Dark, Deep, Well Figured and Smooth.... 
On a 4" Jet...
18-4.
I'd almost like to rip these packages open just to see the wood on these "selects".
J's...
K's...
N's...
But I'm afraid that once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop myself...

Here are some of my smooth stocks. The first picture is a coffee table I made. It is a wood transfer box that Smith & Wesson used for taking finished stocks out of the Wood Room to the Final Fitting Department.
I shredded old Smith & Wesson catalogs to use as packing to protect the smooth stock inside. The second picture is of one of my display cases with some smooth stocks inside. The third picture is of smooth unfinished wood that I bought from a retired employee that worked in the wood room.

I prefer smooth grips on my magnum revolvers. Here are four of my favorite.
My Model 58 wearing a set of Ahrends Square Butt Tactical finger groove grips
The same Model 58 with a set of Ahrends Square Butt Retro Combats
My Model 29-4 3" Special/Gary Reeder Classic wearing a set of Ahrends Round Butt Retro Combats
The same Model 29-4 sporting a set of Ahrends Round Butt Tactical finger groove grips
All four grips are made of cordia wood.

I owe it to Keith44spl. Red River Leather. It's the finest holster I've ever strapped on. I sorta traded him an old Texas Mexican Railway Police badge for it, (but I still feel like I owe him some more for it )

Well, that knife was made over fifty years ago ( at least, because that's when my father brought it home). Who made it, I do not know, the locking system is hand made, it's supposedly the one that Browning copied their first folding skinner/ hunter.

29-2, non-original stocks. I like smooth grips better than checkered grips in a revolver with serious recoil.

Ditto.
BTW, those grips have beautiful grain. Very nice!

My old "duty revolver". I alternated between these stocks and nylon Hogue's.
Back in 1979 I ordered out a pair of Art Jewel Rosewoods, rounded them off a bit and installed what turned out to be an old pair of stainless medallions. Later, I changed out the grip screw escutcheons for a set from a Ruger stainless revolver just to balance everything ...

Here's a Model 53 Jet shipped originally in nickel in Oct, 1961 to HH Harris with smooth targets. The stocks look very similar to those on the Jet drawn for the cover of the 1962 Gun Digest.
