Stag grips

[Stinger4me]

To those of you who have stag grips, do you have a prefernce for which frame size you choose. I have never had the opportunity to shot a gun with them. Advantages or disadvantages? Thinking about them for a Mod. 19 with a 4 inch barrel. Thanks for the info.

Hi, if the grips are proportioned well to your hand (like in any set of grips) stags shoot extremely well and very comfortable. A Tyler T-grip makes 'em even more comfortable to me, generally. Plus, the Tyler helps one maintain the correct grip after the torque of the first (and subsequent) shot(s).

I've got 'em on J, K and N sizes and all do well.

I DO need to send my N set back to Patrick for him to narrow the width near the top on the right one though. There's nothing wrong with the grips now . . . except my hands are on the small size and on the N square frame the inside of my thumb is currently taking a little abuse from the torque . . . something that will go away with just a tad taken off that area! He's already offered to do this adjustment for me. Great guy!

Here they are, in descending size order:

Hope this helps,

Tom

PS: I've since added a Tyler to the K-frame size one in the middle.

Hey Sharpshooter, this is the first time I have seen stags with the finger grooves. I know that you have to have a machine that will cut them identical for the grooves to match up. Can you share with me where you got these? I have been looking for a long time. Thanks, Bob.

Stinger, i grew up watching westerns (Roy Rogers,Gene Autry,The Lone Ranger, John Wayne, etc) and those guys always had fancy pistols and grips so to me stag grips are a thing of beauty and enhances the look of any pistol. As far as shooting, a pair of rubber hogue grips would probably be more comfortable but then again i was shooting with wood grips long before i even saw a pair of rubber grips.

Stag Grips

I got mine from Grashorn Grips....Patrick does a great job.

To me nothing else is close as far as looks go but I have never shot with any on a gun. They are beautiful though.

I bought them at a gunshow from a grip maker from Louisiana several years ago. I'm sorry but I don't know his name. They are modeled after the "Secret Service" pattern.

Myself, I like the older stag grips that have aged and turned yellow. They highlight the black tones so well. I still have my Dad's service revolver Model 1905, 4th Change, with them on it. Can't imagine that nickel beauty any other way.

The ones on the Victory Model are yellowed, and the grips themselves are incredibly rough and craggy.

I like them on my N frames, here are a couple of 38/44s with stags. I also like the jigged bone grips from the old cowboy movies. I have several pairs on 44 Spls.

Patrick does incredible work at very fair prices. His turn around time is extremely fast and he can make the grips with as much or as little bark as possible.

I Agree

+1 I agree, also the older ones are most likely made out of sambar stag, which IMHO is the nicest/best.
