Lew Horton's for My 686

Definately love em, nice man

That is nice.

Very cool !!!

Lew Horton"s huh? S&W made those grips. They were used on some Lew Horton models but Lew Horton had nothing top do with the grips.

Nice grips and nice revolver. Love the whole package!

They are Smith & Wesson "combat grips" and, in N-frame form like yours, currently sell for $200 and up when in nice condition.

very nice

I still can't believe I was dumb enough to give away maybe 3 or 4 sets of those back in the 80s/90s when S&W put them on so many new round butts. I hated them. On a hot day when your hands are sweating those grips are like trying to hold on to a really pissed off greased hog. I love nice wood grips but give me checkering or give me neoprene. I cannot believe what people are paying for those on Ebay. Oh well.

Actually, it's an L-frame, but it's still true those grips aren't cheap. That dash-one is awesome all by it's self, but those grips make it gorgeous. That's some nice figuring. Did you hand select those, or did you just get lucky?

In a movie once, didn't Kurt Russell say,

"I'd rather be lucky than good."

Well, somebody did.

Yep. I knew that! I had my Lew Horton M24-3 on my mind when I typed that.

Great looking grips on an even greater looking gun! Congrats on the acquisition.
