Lets see those grips guys.

I just put sets of Ahrends Cocobolo finger grips on three of my S&W today. The guns are a Model 10-2, Model 67 no dash, and a Model 686 no dash.

Lots of nice looking wood in this thread!
TexNekkid, Tell us more about your Roper stocks. How long have you owned them and what if any story to go along with the gun, and if your able sometime how about a picture of the inside of both panels, especially around the area that butts up to the back of the trigger guard. It's a pretty rare style and I've wondered how certain features were made on them. It's a very looking cool DS, I'll bet King didn't do many of them.

Thanks,
Keith

I've also ordered a set of the Ahrends retro Stocks for another one of my K frames.

How does the Ahrend retro targets compare with the regular non-finger groove grips? Looks like the regular grips appear a little longer in the toe/heel. My understanding is that the Ahrends are narrower than regular S&W K/N frame targets. I have regular S&W targets or magnas on my Smiths. By-and-large, the feel of the grips are wanting. I have a set of Pau Ferro Hogues on a Ruger Police Service Six that feel great but the Hogues don't have that "traditional" S&W look. Great handling grips though!

I can't tell you yet because the two sets of retro target grips I ordered from Ahrends haven't come in yet. They state on their website that the retro's are thinner then the non finger grip regular grips. The finger groove and the non finger groove grips also have a rounded bottom contour where the retro target grips have a flat bottom.

The Ahrends Retro Target Grips on my M15 are round to square butt and are noticeably thinner and more comfortable than the stock S&W Target grips.

Those Targets look great on your model 27.

Oops, should have posted in this thread instead of starting a new one. Images deleted there, reposted here:
