Carved AJE bighorn grip

[357-RevolverGuy]

I found these at a local gun show this summer and ended up trading a knife for them. Found out that the AJE stamp on the back belonged to Eagle. Man they sure do look and feel nice. Never seen ones like them before. Pretty sure it's rosewood. I was reading that Eagle was known to generously hand rub oil on their grips to get that nice glossy smooth finish. Anyway just wanted to show them off to you guys.

Very cool. Are they comfortable to shoot with? "Feel nice" is one thing; "shoot nice" is another. Enquiring minds want to know!

They're a little bigger than I am use to but they do feel good shooting. There's a lot of wood behind the grip frame. Feels like shooting with a set of Target grips but slimmer on the sides and thicker on the back. I have a set of Herrett's they remind me of too when it comes to feel.

AJE stands for Art Jewel Enterprises, kind of a "brand name" for Eagle grips, most of which were manufactured in India. Earlier grips (1960-70's?) were carefully inspected by the fellow who founded the company and the fit and finish was quite good. Allegedly, the product quality deteriorated somewhat when he retired/sold/left the company. The grips are most likely Indian rosewood - beautiful grain and quite dense.

I had a set of Art Jewel Enterprises combat grips that were signed by Harban Singh. They came on a S&W Mod 37 that I traded off a KelTec P32 to get.
