Installing medallions in grips

[nate-dogg]

I was curious if there are any hobbyists or grip manufacturers that would provide and install medallions into a set of grips that I would provide? And cost for medallions and labor? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Chigs Grips does mine. He has a good supply for Ruger medallions, not sure on others tho. Very reasonable too.

The medallions are on Ebay for about $35. Anyone with a drill press and a 13/32" Forstner bit can do it. Forstner leaves a very crisp cut; can be found with a search. Just need an original pair of grips to measure and copy position from. They can be glued in with gel cyanoacrylate. Which gun grips do you have?

There's a good article on here from 2009 "installing medallions".

Entirely up to you of course, but I had a special project where I wanted a $5 gold coin installed on one side of giraffe bone grips, and a S&W Medallion on the other side. No one would touch it until I found Mike at MD Grips. He had to order a special size cutter, but did a beautiful job and for a reasonable fee, but you can judge for yourself. He had silver, gold or silver and gold S&W Medallions available.
