Hi BAM-BAM.
At least some of Fuzzy's creations required cutting part of the frame to install them. Not something real S&W lovers want to do. Fine while they are on they look and work great. but if you should want to put the original grips on the cutoff corner on the lower forward butt frame does not make for a pleasing look. Jim

Thanks Guys, It helps to get the name spelled right before doing a search.
I have a option on two pair. One round and one square butt, both look like checkered rosewood,for K frames. I checked the fit on a 19-4 sq butt and 66-3 round butt.... so no frame alterations for these.
It's part of an estate sale, and they are only askeing $25 a pair. I'm going to get them tonight I'l try to post some pictures.

Homie,
You seem to have an intrest and knowledged about these. Any idea what are they sell for? I was just going to stick them in my "grip box"..... because they are different, the price seemed right and I might find a use for them,,,,someday.... like on a nice 6" K frame model 14 or 17.... the round butts I'm not sure what I would use for!!!
If there are collectors, or "Farrant fans" who would want them or someone needs them for a project...... let me know...I'm not really offering to sell but I not vested in owning them either.....

Since Fuzzy started out making grips for cops, why not a 2 1/2" M19 or M66?
Fuzzy Farrant grips for a square butt N-frame. Notice how they're cut inside for Fuzzy's frame modification.
