Python Grips fit old Colt Officers Model

[J-Bar]

A couple of weeks ago I traded into a 1927 Colt Officer's Model .38 Special. The original grips are worth preserving so I wanted replacement grips that would also fit my gnarled old hands better. Dave Markowitz shared a chart that showed Python grips might fit my old Colt. I rolled the dice and won! These Pachmayr Python grips fit my old Officer's Model perfectly! Thank you Dave Markowitz!!

Theoretically, all Colt E/I frame grips interchange. My '67 Trooper is wearing 2020 Python grips from Altamont and they fit perfectly.

I am a bit knowledgeable about S&Ws, completely ignorant about Colts. I need all the help I can get! Thanks THR for being a resource!!

Does anyone know if grips from an 1892 Colt DA .38 will fit any other models? I have some thumbshelfed
target grips removed form a DA .38

Sadly, no. The models based on the New Army/Navy frame are unique in many ways- grips included.

That may be true, but my DA .41 grips fit my officer’s model match, and vice versa. Which is the same as the python, or close enough for Jazz. @velocette

Interesting! Ive never seen a manufacturers chart that listed them as compatible and I sold my New Army ages ago. Dont suppose you have pics?

These are the charts that Dave Markowitz shared with me. I don't remember his source. Hope they work for others as well as they did for me.

Happy to help!

By Colt DA, I assume they mean the New Army/Navy frame, rather than the Lightning. Interesting that they list it with the New Service, which is much larger, but not any of the E/I frames.
Its also funny how they throw "Pistol" in the title just for the Camp Perry single shot, lol.
