[.38 Special]

As long as we're doing some competition grips...



These are from Randall Fung. They obviously don't need to be pretty to do the job, so I was pleasantly surprised at the nice grain and careful finish.

Vintage Sambar Stag

 

[S&Wfan]

I've become extremely partial to Patrick Grashorn's (Grashorns Gun Works) American Elk Stag grips, and I'm steadily putting them on my guns.

Here are a few:

Here's the ones I got for my Model 36 . . .

And both guns together, with another still to be equpped . . .

Here's my latest set, for a Model 19 Nickle plated . . .

And on the gun . . .

And I still use a few Hogues too:

Hogue Camolamo on my S&W 29-5 (shown on a Piebald Whitetail buck's hide I took with the .44 magnum):

Model 646 w/ Hogue Rosewood Laminates:

and a Model 65-3 with S&W Rosewoods:

I LOVE my Volquatzen competition "rubbers" on my Ruger Mk II Target .22 too . . .

Nice! It looks especially good with honest holster wear. Mine has gotten a little better in that regard since I took the photo a year and a half ago, though it still doesn't have as much character as yours .
