I just looked on Amazon-pages of these grips-looks like they have them for everything.
Anyone try the KSDgrips??

I had posted this image of my CS45 in another thread but thought I'd put it here, too, for people browsing these grips. I am really pleased with them and am especially happy to get rid of those Hogues made of flubber that came on the pistol.

the above mentioned grip for a 5906 that Metasmith was referencing appears to no longer be available...there are a few with the same checkering pattern with a generic SW.....there are a few logo grips at first glance that look like the round S&W crest but the engraving actually says KSD
..................Guevera..you may have got the last one like that

I recommend reaching out to Mustafa direct. He's been really responsive and can make some "custom built" sets if you request them.

Still interested.
.
Anyone had any contact with this company of late, with all the turmoil going on over there? I see he's no longer listing on eBay (quite a few negatives, may have been suspended???) Website still up. He hasn't posted or replied to anything here (recently).

I always thought the weak link of the 3rd Gen guns was the hammer spring being supported by the grip, which being plastic is more susceptible to damage than it would be if metal.

Some of the best grips that I have seen. I have purchased 5 sets of which 2 were custom. Turn around time is anywhere from 7 days to 14 days, I am sure that this will change, as the demand continues to grow. Even the box that they ship in is high quality, I would hope that S&W would farm out some of there grips to them. The grips for the 5906 are made of two pieces that are pined and glue together, they fit great.
Both customs grips were for CZ pistols, they were made just as I had asked. Prices are great, customer service is super. I am going to order a couple more sets shortly.

Metalsmith/nocents, I just received a set for the 5906. The ones that I requested look just like the one that you have picture but I wanted the S&W logo to be A silver insert. Turn around time was 8 days even with the Labor day weekend. Use his direct E-Mail address to contact him. [email protected]

Yes, it appears he got alot of negatives in a short period of time. Either he gave up or got suspended. Might be due to the Turkish government interference with paypal use too. He did not answer an off ebay email I sent him either.

The last communication I had with him was in August. The paypal issue was resolved and they expected to restart sbipping "soon". I think that the civil unrest in Turkey is far more disruptive than media reports indicate.
At this point I would be surprised if they resume production. Too bad because I was going to order a couple of them.

Mine came in yesterday for my 4506:
It was produced and delivered within 2 weeks, they are very responsive and helpfull.
If one likes it, the logo can also made of polished copper that will look 98% like gold.

I hate to be Negative Nelly but I advise exercising some caution with regard to purchasing those Turkish grips. I bought a set for an S&W K/L-frame square butt that looked great in their eBay ad photos but not so much in person. An email sent to KSD was never answered yet their ads continued. I then tried selling them on two Internet sites (including this one) and got zero bites at $50 shipped - if I'm not mistaken, they sell for about $65.
Right now, they have some really drop-dead gorgeous ones on eBay but once burned, I'm not interested in another letdown.

I'm interested in these grips for the 5906 but I don't see them available anymore. Do you still offer these? If any member has one they would be to willing sell please let me know. Thanks!
Thread resurrection... looking for them too. Anyone found these or some similar for a 1006 lately?
HELLO FRIEND! I WOULD STRONGLY SUGEST YOU SEND KSD AN EMAIL WITH A COPY/PASTE PICTURE OF THE GRIPS YOU WANT, AND FOR WHICH MODEL. SEE WHAT THEY TELL YOU AND GO FROM THERE. I HAVE GOTTEN 3RD GEM GRIPS FROM THEM, AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS AAAAAAA+++++++ FIT, FINISH, MATERIALS, CLEAN WORK, PACKAGING, THE WORKS!! S&W SHOULD ENDORSE THESE GUYS!!
ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TOO BOUGHT A 3RD GEM GRIP FROM TURKEY THROUGH FL-E BAY. IT WAS THE OEM DESIGN IN WALNUT. LATER, I REALISED IT WAS NOT A KSD VENDOR, AND THE GRIPS WERE PRICED LOWER THAN THE KSD AT AMA-Z-ON. YET, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE WHAT I WOULD GET. UPON ARRIVAL, THE GRIP DID NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. THE MATERIAL WAS GREAT, AND SEEMED TO BE A ONE PIECE ITEM, AS OPPOSED TO THE 2PIECE GLUED KSD. HOWEVER, ITS LASER CUTS, THOUGH CLEAN, THEY WERE NOT SYMETRICAL ON BOTH SIDES. THE FIT WAS NICE, BUT MY OCD WOULD NOT LET ME SLEEP AT NIGHT OVER THE LACK OF SYMMETRY. THE VENDOR WAS KIND ENOUGH TO REFUND ME. I AM SURE, THAT IF THEY TRY A BIT HARDER WITH THEIR MANUFACTURING, THEIR PRODUCT WILL HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL. SO, WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY, IT SEEMS NOT ALL TURKISH GRIPS ARE KSD. ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED THAT KSD DOES NOT SELL THROUGH FLE-BAY. SO BUYER BE AWARE!
