Do gold Tyler T-Grips look garish?

[MatthewVanitas]

I'm about to order a couple Tyler T-grips to go with the stock wooden grips on a few older S&W revolvers.

I have an inexpensive 10-6 that I picked up, and I'm tempted to put a gold Tyler T-grip on it. Would that look really cheesy, or does anyone think that blued/wood/gold looks good?

Tyler makes gold grips, so somebody must be buying them. Anyone have any good pics with a gold Tyler T?

Not if it matches your gold front tooth, put some pearl handled grips on the gun too.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Pimp my Gun".

Just kidding (well almost just kidding).

Yes - but that's pure opinion. I use black on both blued and stainless revolvers.

I'm in the process of purchasing a couple of Tyler T's for a couple of stainless K Frames and I'm having a difficult choice between polished and black. Haven't even considered gold. I mean no offense but, I'd choose gold only if I was running a string of girls in New Orleans or Vegas....Essex

I have a stainless on my 64 .38. It goes well. In reality, tho, your adversary will not see the t-grip if you aren't "made" as carrying. Once it's out, the last thing going through his mind should be a 129(?) gr. hydra shok.

That depends, are you putting it on something that looks like this:

I like the black ones.
I like the silver ones.
I think the gold ones are silly.




You asked.

Me again. Yesterday I ordered two black ones for my stainless Smiths. I was suprised to leark that it would be three weeks or so as they are made to order...........Essex

Gold anything on a gun looks garish.

I tend to like them....but only when I wear my cape !

Gold anything on a gun looks garish.

I always liked the gold trigger on a Marlin 39A.

And I like nice gold inlays.
And gold stock medallions.

I also usually gold (or silver) fill the rollmarks on my blued guns.

A little gold can be nice. But not large pieces.

Unless the entire gun is gold. ANd then only certain guns.
I remember a photo, Years Ago™, of a pair of engraved, gold plated Rodgers & Spencer revolvers from the 1860s that was just plain stylish.
