Grip karma: WINNER IS #21, GLASHAUS! Altamont K or L round-to-square conversion pair

This is a very generous offer indeed. I look forward to seeing the winners revolver with them mounted. That said, I am not asking to add my name to the list. They are a very nice set for sure. Thanks,
Gary

Me Too Please!

Awesome gesture and likely to bring much blessings to you also! My 3" 868+ awaits regrouping and my appreciative fondling...:)
 
It's been a while since I posted a karma, so here goes:

I have a very nice pair of Altamonts in super rosewood laminate that fits K or L round butts to convert to square. This pair has the silver S&W medallions and the grip surface is partly stippled, partly checkered. They're slender and would be excellent for CCW if you need more grip surface than round-butt grips offer. See the photo below of the right-side panel. These must be an older model because I don't see an exact match on Altamont's website now.

Karma is that I'll choose the winner on Friday night at 8 p.m. Eastern. Grips will ship to the winner at no cost, of course. (What's a karma, if it's not a karma, right? :D) And ideally, you'd have a revolver that these would fit, or you intend to obtain one, as you decide whether to enter the karma -- but that's up to you.

Good luck to all! Oh, and by the way: I'll use a random-number generator, based on the number of entries, to pick the winning post, so everyone has an equal chance. If the number corresponds to your reply number, you're the winner!



#21, Glashaus, is our winner! Thanks to all who played. I wish I had several pairs of Altamonts to give away to so many of you whose posts were fun to read, creative, and definitely grip-worthy! I had a blast -- best regards to all!

72 entries. Nice to hear about all these positive things that happen in Gunny-World where we don't kill puppies or babies.
 
Wow, awesome! These are really nice Altamont's that are not in their current line up, I am looking forward to trying them out on my K and L frame round butts, not sure which one will look the best, but I will post pictures!
Thanks Chip! This has inspired me to do my own karma give away some time!
 
The grips came in today and I tried them out on three out of the five candidate's that I have

My 13-3 with the the Altamont service stocks that I had



The 13-3 with the new Altamont square to round conversions



a M10-11 ex Aussie Police from service



to conversion



and my 686 CS-1 from Houge's which were on it when I bought it back in the early 90's



to conversion



The conversion grips feel great! I think that the CS-1 looks good with them but I need to get a frame stock pin for it as it was removed for the Houge's. I still have my 2 1/2" M19 and a 3" M64 to try but for now I think that I will try these new grips out on the M13 for a while





Thanks again Chip!
 
Very nice!!! Congratulations, they look great on all of those guns. (I am still kicking myself for not buying one of those Aussie 3"ers, but it looks like yours is a 4"?) Nice guns, all...

Best Regards, Les

Thanks Les! Yes my Aussie is a 4" HB RB, I didn't act quick enough for one of the 3" M10's that they had for sale either!
