Dear friends,
I'm looking to dress up one or more of my J-frames with some eye-catching boot grips. Though I currently have an assortment of exotic wood grips from Eagle, Craig Spegel and Hogue on my Js, I'd like to get a pair or two made from some kind of colorful laminate or other material, something flashier and more colorful than any natural wood would be.
I should add that I already have Hogue's Lamo Camo and like it very much. But I want to explore others as well, if there are any out there.
As an example of what I'm talking about, I once saw a photo of a Smith & Wesson 627PC wearing finger-grooved, square-butt grips made from a laminate of two colors: bright blue and silver/gray. I wish I could provide a link to the thread on the S & W Forum, but the picture's now deleted. Suffice it to say, those grips looked exquisite and were a perfect example of the kind of material (though they weren't for a J-frame) that I'm hoping to find somewhere. I'm sure there are purists here who would close their eyes in horror, but to each her own . I desperately hope that someone will recognize these grips from my description.
So, is anybody familiar with manufacturers of brightly (or bright compared to normal woods) colored grips for J-frames?
