Upgraded grips for the Model 15

So, awhile back I was given this S&W Model 15-3 by my uncle. It had belonged to my grandfather who passed away several years ago, and he got it back as it was a gift from him. He passed it to me as the "gun guy" in the family because he thought I'd appreciate it more than most. His one request was that I actually shoot it and not just let it sit on a shelf. I never have been able to get comfortable with the original grips so it really hasn't gotten shot.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I found these grips on eBay from a Thai seller, jaruwan.p. I think his/their grips have been discussed in the past, and I also have grips from them on my Taurus 65 I was passed down by another uncle from my other grandfather (cool to have gotten a revolver from each grandfather the same way). Anyway, really impressed with the craftsmanship for $65 shipped, highly recommend them if they have them for something you own! Before and after pics below.

Don't sell the original grips, in condition they are worth like $100

Thanks for the heads up. I don't plan on getting rid of them, considering the sentimental value of the firearm. I still have the grips from the Taurus too even though they're cracked for the same reason.

I wasn't sure at first, but it grew on me the more I looked at them. Definitely glad I jumped on them! More comfortable to shoot and they look nice, can't beat that.
