I recently posted a wtb post on the Brian enos forum looking for a few hard to find smiths, one of them being a 610 3" from the Lew Horton. I was contacted by a member saying he sold one to another member a few years ago and that I should send him a pm. So I did that thinking it was going to go nowhere. I get a pm back saying he was actually looking to sell, now I normally don't get that lucky. So we negotiated a little on price and ended up settling on $925 shipped which I knew was well below market value. It did not come with a box but did come with plenty of moon clips. Gun was wearing a set of hogue wood grips and tritium night sights front and rear.

Now on to the grips. Last September I was getting tired of paying big money for factory n frame rd butt combat grips. The quality was not there, especially for the price. So I contacted Kurac, since he has made me a few other outstanding grips, about him making me a set of combat grips from a nice piece of wood and finished right and the price was right along the line of the factory combat grips that I was underwhelmed with. He said he had never done anything like this before but was open minded. He needed a set to make a copy from so I sent him my favorite set of combats from my 627-0. He told me up front that it would take while to the grips done since he had other projects goin on at the time.
So I get am email a couple of weeks ago telling me the grips are ready and to send payment. Ended up getting the grips within a few days of the gun. Now nothing against the hogue wood grips but they are not Kurac grips. Finally a pair of combat grips actually worth $150.

Beautiful all the way around.

Wow, those look great. Nice gun, too. Here's to hoping Kurac would agree to making more grips like that.

Very nice indeed. Good work.

Great looking Smith! The only problem is now I will be contacting Kurac about round butt N frame grips. Geez, it really never ends.

congratualtions on the great looking revolver and a great price.

Very nice combination. A great looking Smith with some well made grips. Now for the big question.... how does it shoot?

A couple of weeks ago I PM'd Kurac to see if he would make a set of combats for me. His response was he was not making combat grips at the present time. So what is up with that?Those grips for Shooting4life are beautiful. I would pay the mans price for those in premium woods,and I have about 9 or ten round butts that I would dress up.I offered to send a set of combats slightly modified to meet my needs, but I guess I struck a discordant note. I don't know. As a back up I'm going to Craig Speigel for his boot grip which is very close to my design. I can mod and refinish as necessary.A very dissapointed,Nick

He told me that it took way more time than he thought compared to his regular grips. Like I said, ordered them in September. I asked about another set of custom grips once I got these and he declined. My guess is he is going to stay with his current line up or targets and magna style.

That's freggin sweet !! VERY NICE

Great gun! Sadly I let mine go, but the holster and moon clip holder were not in the deal. If you need a good holster, let me know. Mine did NOT like the Federal lead range fodder. AT ALL.
