Patrick grashorn grips with a tyler T on my first year highway patrol feels real good to me......
 
I am only doing this because I customized these stocks myself. They started life as checkered Herrett square butt stocks. I sanded out the checkering, and removed the back bottom to fit round butt. I wish I had the "original" untouched photo still. They sure feel good in my hand. Bob

My favorites are these cut down coke grips I found in a gun shop junk box. They were homely yet felt great. So I had forum member Gaiterbaiter clean them up, rechecker them and refinish them. now I have a pair of custon coke boot grips on my 27-2. They are perfect on this short gun but look too stubby on longer ones, including 4". Also found were a pair of chopped beat up K frames, pictured here, too.

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread! So many great looking grips!

I'm taking delivery of my first 686 next week, and I will be replacing the rubber grips with some sort of wood grip as I love the look of wood. Can someone please comment about their experiences with the classic target grips versus Hogue wood grips? I love the look of the target grips...love the classic look! But I know I will probably like the Hogue wood grips as that is what is on my Ruger GP100. I'd appreciate hearing any observations, experiences etc. in comparing target wood grips versus Hogue wood grips.
 
Grashorn Elk on a S&W M-34 2inch.


...and Ivory on this "scratched up" S&W Model 60 2 inch.
I really like those Model 34 grips. They look like elk bone, not antler. Just like Grashorn made for my 39-2. He said mine were as wide as he could get for grips using whatever elk bone he used for these. I like both of ours better than ivory...seriously.
 

I have been really pleased wit these Ahrend's conversion targets on my 629-6. Black/Siver stained Tiger maple, Tung oil finish. I love how the grain breaks both ways - predominant shadowing east to west, and subtler grains running roughly north and south under that. I want some Culinas badly, but I like this maple so much it's driving me to buy a blue gun just so I can put a pair of Ahrends red stain maple on it.
 
I think these are my favorite because they're my favorite S&W style "deep dished/gold plated" and still have "mint luster" from 1915. They're also on the most expensive handgun I ever bought.
