Unobtanium?

[Tom Garrett]

Just curious. I really like stag grips on my revolvers. It's fun to find the gun you're looking for, then finding a decent fitting set of grips is yet another excuse to attend gun shows, visit gun shops, etc.

I have several K sized square frame guns that I like a lot. I found a LEO trade in 64 not too long ago, and it's a round butt. I sure can't find any manufacturer that carries round butt K frame stag grips. I can get 'em custom made, but I'm not spending more on the grips than I spent on the gun. Any input? Am I SOL?

I would go with wood instead. Call Altimont.

Watch the accessories/parts for sale forum and if you have good timing you'll get the right set.

Good luck. Companies build what sells, in quantity. Custom makers are the go to for one of a kind. Unfortunately, we have recently suffered the demise of two custom antler grip companies and so far no one has stepped up to fill those vacancies.

I got an email from a woman stating she was taking over operations for Grasshorn Grips. Haven't heard anything since

Sounds like it's time to look for elk sheds and start making your own.

There's a thought. A good one actually. I've got a friend that elk hunts annually.

There's a guy on epay that makes elk and moose antler revolver grips. Sometimes he has ready-to-ship pairs and he also makes them to order. He goes by antlerc-1 and I bought this set for my 66-1.




They fit the contours of the frame well and are comfortable. I might apply a clear finish to help stabilize the porous areas.

I generally go for stag grips with all the bark removed, but these "spoke" to me.

Those look real nice. I'll check this guy out. Thanks! Nice 66 by the way…
