I like my Altamont stocks

[fotoman12001]

I read several negative posts on here about experiences with Altamont stocks. It made me worry about the ones I recently ordered but I got them today and I'm very pleased with them. The fit, finish, and feel are great and the price is nice.

Other thread

Someone asked for the thread where I read about the complaints. A Google search discovered it for me a few days ago. There were two or three complaints about them here:

http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1980-present/246669-well-i-messed-up-ordered-set-altamont.html

I'm very pleased with the ones I got. The only complaint I have is that the S&W medallions look a little cheap. I paid about $90 for the Hogue wood on my SP101. Of course I got all the options with them: finger grooves, checkering, accent stripe and butt cap. I love that stock but I didn't want to spend quite that much again. The Altamonts offered checkering and grooves for about $60/70. I also like the more solid feel the laminate offers.

All in all I would recommend either Hogue or Altamont. They are both nice and I'm glad I have both.

I was happy with mine, no issues and were great to do business with.

I just put a pair on my Model 60 and, to me, they look sweet!

No complaints here. Mine are great.

Nice to hear something good about them. I've actually put off buying a set because of the bad reviews. They look good on the stainless and drop dead gorgeous on the 586. The prices seem more than reasonable.

i have a pair of altamonts on both of the j frames i own. they're better than i thought they would be when i ordered them. as far as i'm concerned they look beautiful.

Doesn't Altamont supply the OEM wood grips for S&W? I thought I read that somewhere. I also ordered a set of the standard checkered, with silver medallions, in walnut, for my 617. I'm hoping on getting delivery by this weekend.

I have two sets coming from Altamont. I hope there are no problems. If they are made as good as the set on my Colt I will be satisfied.

Nuttin' wrong with Altamonts as far as I'm concerned:

Yes, and in that thread, there is one poster who joined on February 2012, and has posted only once since then to whine a me too complaint; hasn't posted since. Mistakes can and will happen, no matter what you buy, and from whom. My experience so far with Altamont has been nothing less then stellar.

My Altamont grips (aka "stocks" in S&W lingo) are super too! Need to buy a similar set, in Rosewood, for my 686 soon.

Tight groups.
