New clothes for the 686+

[VoodooSan]

I know I'm not the only fan in here of the Thai maker who sells as "jaruwan.p" on ebay. Here's a set I just received from him for my 686+. Like all the grips I've purchased from him, fit, finish, and workmanship are first-rate.

I have looked at those and almost bought a set.

Thank you for sharing! Very nice looking!

Weimar, I really do like his work. Here are some other examples:

Very nice grips! Your guns look great with them......now I got the grip flu.....must check e-bay and get at least a pair for my S&W revolvers

Hmmmmmm.......I was never sure about those Thai grips. Now I'll have to get some, too!

I like JaruwanP's work. There are other Thai grips but IMO Jaruwans are the nicest and he stands behind his product. I got some that had a crack and he shipped out another pair the day I emailed him.

.....now I got the grip flu....

That's a disease I've suffered from almost my entire life!

Nice! I just ordered a set for my 986 PC 2.5"

These are comfortable for me. I am not sure which maker's (Thailand) they are. No issues to report. Bob

I have a couple of sets of the Jaruwan grips - one set of "Miculeks" and a set of panels for a FN High Power. They seem well made and look nice. One observation is his imitation Miculeks are significantly wider than the real deal. Now that I think about it, the High Power panels are kind of fat also.

Now that I think about it, some folks might actually prefer a wider version of the Miculeks...

I have a couple of grips from that seller. Fit is good and I like the fact that the ad pictures are the exact grip for sale.

I am encouraged to see that your grips fit well. This is consistent with all other reports that I have found.

I received two pair from that seller today. The upper rear portion of both grips extend outward beyond the steel grip frame. I will probably try to sand them to fit properly. I have contacted the seller, asking what type of finish was used.

I usually like to remove about .25" from the bottom of grips from Thailand. These grips on my refurbished model 15 just melt into your hand. The grip makers in Thailand have access to hardwoods that American makers can only dream about. When you order these grips online you receive the same grip that's pictured. When you order it, it's gone from the list. When you order from Altamont you really don't know what you will be getting.

I don't want to hijack this thread. I do feel obligated to report that the seller, Jaruwan.P, is very responsive and has shipped me replacements already.

I received a set of Jaruwan K/L frame round to square target grips yesterday, they are very nice, but are not cut properly for speed loader use. Has anyone else come across this?
