Factory grips collection

[sprscientist]

I think I'm in the phase of buying grips with the intention of later buying guns to match them. Many of these were from the fine collection of forum member weatherby, a true gentleman.

Paul is a stand up person, he helped me yrs ago finding something for a custom 32. Buying guns for such nice grips, you need the better condition revolvers which will be an expensive task. Have fun with your project. Larry

You can’t go wrong picking up factory grips from Paul! I’ve done it myself, and he is unquestionably a great guy to work with.

Indeed I have a long way to go to get proper revolver mates to each set. From Paul I got all of the J's and the football K/L.

Nice bookmatching on most of them too.

The checkered square K/L on a 686-3.

The "flame" goncalo alves N on a 28-2.

I had the same addiction a few years back and bought several stock sets online but in most cases I already had guns on which to use them. I since have sold a few sets but still have perhaps a dozen. Mine are mostly K/L-frame square butt checkered targets but I also have a few sets for square-butt N-frames. Prices on them have tended to vacillate up and down over the years. At one time, I balked at paying $150 for a nice set but subsequently paid a little more but a few years ago prices seemed to be going down a bit. I haven't checked lately. Bookending is important as is color and figure and combats bring more money than targets.

I used to buy them at gun shows because they were cheap and I couldn't afford the guns. Now I can't afford the grips anymore either. I collected a few drawers full when they were $5-20 a set, but times have changed...

This is a sure sign of some sort of an illness! Sadly I am not a doctor, so really can't help with your problem other than possibly adopting anything unwanted.
