WoW! Craig Spegel grips...

[lhump1961]

Like others have said, go straight to Craig himself for his grips. Bit of a wait perhaps but they are hand made from hand selected woods...he makes every pair himself! Craig invented boot grips so to have a pair of his is a bit special IMHO. I only have two pair now but will have more soon before he retires.

Might give Jim Badger a look, too.
I've had both and they are comparable.

Spegel's the only one who lists boots as a standard item for the SB j-frames, but the catch is the several-months-long wait. After seeing some photos you'd posted on another site of your d-frame Colts with custom-made Badger grips, I gave Jim a call when I wanted a set of grips for my square butt Chief Special. Jim made up a real nice set of rosewood boot grips for me, cut down from his normal 3-finger-size design, and I had them in less than a week. No extra charge either.
Now that's what I call customer service!
I was so pleased that I bought a set of his grips for my RB Chief also. I wanted them minimally sized so he again made up a special set, with an open butt instead of the slightly longer ones he catalogs. Now I have a matching pair of 2" Chiefs, one RB & one SB, right down to the grips.

I ordered directly from Craig, told him I needed a set for my 36-1, and as we were wrapping up the details I mentioned that they were for a square-butt gun. Good thing I mentioned that! With the dark finish of the gun, the reddish hue of the cocobolo looks almost orange.

Those SB boots look nice! Here's a shot of my SB Badger boots.

hotrod,

nice looking grips too. does the badger's cover the backstrap?

No, the Badgers leave the backstrap open. I like that in a boot grip for better concealability, plus I don't have real big hands & so don't need the added reach. I'm very pleased with them, they are really comfortable.

17-9 grips

Just got a model 17-9 last week, and got to shoot it Friday. It is a nice gun, but there is just one problem, my hands are too big for the grips. My Model 41 fits my hand like it was made for it. Does anyone know where I can get larger grips for the 17? Does any one make custom grips to fit a person's hand?

Thanks

Herretts Gun stocks by Herrett's Stocks, Inc. will custom make several types of grips to fit your hand.

The Jordan Trooper model, shown in the post by Nemo288 above, is probably the most suitable for those with large hands.
