My new Ajax grips on my Stampede are now fitted (some NEW photos)
I was reading a thread or two here on THR about SAA clones and grips and decided to replace the original Beretta Stampede plastic grips with Ajax polymer grips. They needed quite a bit of fitting, but I lucked out. As simple as the skills might be for some of you, I didn't have them or some of the tools to make the fitting more efficient. The luck was that local beltmaker (incredible gunbelt maker!) Jim Speidel had some time for me Saturday and he did a great job for me. This guy makes great grips and holsters too, but he just doesn't have the time to make them for others...at least right now. Oh, I did buy the brown holster from him. And that belt is one of my four Beltman belts I got from him. You owe it to yourself to check out Jim Speidel's holsters. Just a satisfied customer who gets no remuneration for pluggin' this dude. Pardon the expression, pardner!

Grip color in the top two photos is closer than the whiter color in the bottom two photos.
Stampede in Jim Speidel holster and belt. I'll be getting a western belt with cartridge loops from Jim by end of year!
This closeup really shows off the Texas medallion I had Ajax add.
It's also the best color representation of the grips.
