Coke Bottle Grips

[charlies]

Would someone please write a definition of coke bottle grips. I have smiths with coke bottles and I have smiths without but to me there really isn't that much difference unless coke bottle refers to palm swell.
Thanks Charlie

You can't tell the difference between cokes and non-cokes by looking at your grips?

Cokes have the palm swell, I've never seen a pair "in the wood"

but have seen em' here. Someone will soon post pics, no doubt.

Nope. Not much at all. Only about $300+ per set.
f.t.

if I really could... would I have posted the question? Obviously there is a difference why coke bottle?

Cokes have diamonds, a larger checkering area than conventional targets and sexy curves.

Plus they are ever so slightly smaller and the oval shaped butt just fits a human hand better than the newer ones.

Do all cokes have diamonds? Are cokes only found on N frames?

Generally speaking, Yes / Yes



Note:
There are some early N frame smooth stocks that that don't have the checkering or diamond and they have the Coke profile.
There are arguments of K frame Cokes but I personally vote N frame only.

Okay Dokey, was just gonna let you know Ahland has a very nice Gun Club if you were not aware.

My wife and kids always enjoy winter camping in July at Sunset Beach near Charleston every summer! I'm not quite tough enough. I'm sure Charles knows what I mean!
