Sanderson Grip Hat-trick (pic heavy) - now even heavier!

s&wchad · Nov 29, 2008

I found these grips on a gun show table today and bought them. The pictures don't do the wood justice. The dealer told me he had purchased the remaining inventory from Dons <STRIKE>widow</STRIKE> daughter several months ago.

The link below has a great post by 29-1 showing a Lew Sanderson & Sons brochure. He (29-1) mentioned Lews son Don who took over the business. Chuck (29-1) was absolutely right, here's Dons business card!

The thumbrest stocks marked "K" are actually N frame.

Those are some beauties, what great craftsmanship, hard to find these days! Do you have your guns picked out that they will go on? Nice find!

Lee,
I bought all the S&W stocks he had. There's one more set of conventional 1911 stocks (fully checkered) that I'm planning on buying tomorrow morning.

Not yet (maybe one).

I am looking forward to playing musical grips!

Man I would sure like a set of those target grips for my K-22 Model 48 Target Masterpiece.

Sure would like to adapt a pair of them to my 686-6 PP 6" or my 610-3 6.5" that I use for target or range guns.

Beautiful.....excellent find....thanks for sharing

Chad, good eye to spot those at a gun show. I always thought Sanderson stocks were just as nice if not better than any Ropers I ever saw. Keith Brown is the new standard today and I'd like to see Keith produce a Sanderson version.

So I guess I need to be at the next show at 0740 hrs? That was a great buy.
