Elk grips from BigMtnMan

[Baxter6551]

I recently received my 3rd set of Elk Stag grips from the Forums prolific grip maker Ken (BigMtnMan) and they are stunning. I felt a shout out to Ken and a sharing post was in order. I was attracted to his classified listing by the match between the two panels - shown on my 66-1. My first set on the 36. Second set on 64.
His listings don’t last long (sometimes just minutes) before they are sold and I have missed out multiple times on some beautiful sets. Really happy with these and the others. I’m sure other owners feel the same.

Ken makes great grips.

My only request is some for the new Colt Python and the 1911’s.

My apologies if I missed any of the above.

I have 4 sets now and all excellent! I would really enjoy some 1911's as well. Flush mag well please.

No website. No ordering. If you want one of his sets, start watching the accessories for sale section. If you see something you like and hesitate, it will go to someone else.

That may seem like a quirky business plan, but, it works for Ken.

Good luck!

I only have on set of grips from Ken. He makes an awesome product at a reasonable price. As mentioned, you need to be quick if you want a set of his grips.

Here is a set of caribou I got from Ken.

A set of N frame round butts.

Another N frame round butt but I had to custom fit these to the frame.

I have a several more, a few without revolvers!

Ken does lovely work. A true craftsman.

I have only been fast enough twice, but I’ll keep trying for additional sets. They really look and feel great!

As you know, it's not meant to be a business: he's figured out a brilliant means of not allowing an artistic retirement hobby become onerous. Mr. Driskell knows how to do it right - and we enthusiasts are lucky to have him! Man, and it's so much more fun to be the lucky one to capture one of his already-made prizes than to place an order and see what an artisan sends you.

OH, YES!!!!

I was lucky three times!!!!! Some of the stocks on some of my guns were scorched in my 2018 fire and I replaced these three with bgmntmn's elks. The guns were unharmed but the stocks got ugly so.........................

Model 27 Classic .357 Magnum

Model 10 .357 Magnum

Model 25-5 .45 Colt

Colt? Really? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh............you mean a S&W in .45 Colt!!!! Yikes, it took me two minutes to figure that out!

Colt? Really? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh............you mean a S&W in .45 Colt!!!! Yikes, it took me two minutes to figure that out!

Of course it is a S&W. It is a early HP 5 screw frame, with a recessed 44 mag cylinder reamed to 45 Colt. Making it a 5 screw pinned and recessed 45 Colt.
I actually have 6 1/2", a 6" and a 3" 5 screw plus a triple lock in 45 colt as well as both a blue and a stainless 5" 3 screws


The only thing I own made by Colt are the barrels on my 2 Smolts.

I am always impressed by his work, and how great they make a revolver look.

 

[steelslaver]

Yes, great work and they make a nice touch of class on a good gun

They're not elk but here's a set of his moose magnas on my 1938 engraved Heavy Duty.
