You know that feeling when you buy something and it does absolutely everything you hoped it would? It fits, it feels perfect, you want to look at it all the time? You feel wonderfully satisfied that you made the right choice and you're happy every time you look or handle it? No? You don't know that feeling? Call Patrick and order a set of his American Elk stag handles for your favorite S&W. Then you'll know!

Thanks for reanimating this thread. At the time it started I didn't have any examples of Patrick's work, so I didn't really follow it closely. In the interim I acquired a nice set of N-magnas from Ohio Outdoorsman before his untimely passing. I like to think I am honoring both him and Patrick by putting them on this prewar Heavy Duty.

This is what a western lawman's gun ought to have looked like during the Great Depression (or maybe any time, for that matter.)
 
These smooth elk stocks were originally square butt versions for the Model 12 I reworked to fit my RB. Patrick graciously offered to modify them himself but I took a stab at it to save him the trouble. Great guy to deal with.

Here is my 29-2 with Grasshorn grips:

I have relatively large palms with short fingers. Patrick made my grips a tad thinner at the bottom than normal N-frame Magnas to accomodate me. I love them! I had them made with no "bark" so I wouldn't have permanent marks on my hand from shooting full-house .44 Magnum rounds. These were my first Grasshorn grips, but they won't be my last!
 
A re-built 4th Model 44 Hand Ejector, which I think could also be called a Model of 1950 44 Target, wearing a pair of Mr Grasshorn's stocks:

And the nickled gun is a 1953 vintage 38/44 Heavy Duty 4" with another example of his handiwork:

I am confident I'll be getting more stocks from him in the future. (smile)
