Unlike most forums I have been to the people on this forum seem to be the best and of the highest caliber! If I come across a product for my Smiths that were superior I want to share them with you. I believe in paying good money for a good superior product which is few and far between especially in this day in age of our throw away everything society and inferior cheap Chinese products or even worse expensive garbage thats not worth my my hard earned money! I especially believe in good products for my life saving tools like my firearms. I think most would agree with me on that in this forum. I wanted to let everyone that shares my view on products feast there eyes on these grips made by two wonderful companies! Fit and finish is hard to beat and the customer service is exceptional!





Thanks for looking!

The brand new Model 638 sports Altamont grips and the other revolver has KSD grips. I have had both companies grips on my guns and they are well worth the money folks!

I had a set of Altamont boot grips and Talo edition grips. Their finger grooves couldn't be in a worse position.
 
Altamont stocks are well made and gorgeous to look at. I have multiple sets in J, K, and N that various guns wear on occasion. My Model 337, Model 19, 2 1/2" and Model 13, 3" wear them exclusively. They do seem a bit thin along the back strap when they're on my big bores and magnums, however, and those guns generally wear Herrett's smooth targets at the range for extended shooting.

I have 3 sets of the Altamont grips for J Frames. I think they are the perfect size and configuration grip, especially the RB to SB conversion grips.

Very good grips! I thought they were a little too pricey at first until I saw that most other companies wood grips for these guns were in the multi hundred dollar range. Most of the grips that Altamont and KSD makes are under the $100 dollar mark and for the quality you get is very good! Plus the two companies make just about any grip for just about any gun out there.

I'm a sucker for fancy wood on all my guns and just received a quote last night for a pair of grips for a 1911 - simple slabs, not wrap-arounds or anything like that - made from nice wood (English walnut) and the starting price was $450 without checkering! Fortunately, there are a lot of sources for nice grips at affordable prices.

I hate to think what some guys would have charged me for the wood on that trap gun!

I wish!

The blanks were $1,800 and the finished, custom-fitted wood with an extra-cost finish was $4,400. But at $450 for uncheckered grips for a 1911, that shotgun wood would cost well into five figures. Here's a photo of the owners of the company that made the stock with the blanks and that gun with the try stock used to arrive at the dimensions that fit me.

Gun fit is everything when it comes to target shotguns and it is amazing how many shooters spend big bucks on a nice gun but never have it fitted to them. The shooter's eye is a shotgun's rear sight and if it isn't positioned properly, the gun doesn't shoot where the shooter is looking.

That wood is exhibition-grade English walnut. This trap gun, the one I currently shoot, is stocked in AAAA-grade Turkish walnut.

Fancy wood is pretty costly these days and the few skilled craftsmen who can make it into a finished stock that fits the shooter are becoming fewer in number every year. The men who made that first stock for me in 2005 have since retired. The company still exists but their prices have increased.
