Greeenriver SASS #38681 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Paul Persinger 10441 Mackinaw St. El Paso, TX. 79924 915-821-7541 Artist that works in Ivory and makes grips. bought 3 sets of 1 piece Ivory grips from him so far, and am very happy with them. I would recommend him to everyone. Very competitively priced for Ivory and a skilled artist for carving, too. There are others probably as good, but I know of Paul's work, and don't know of others in person. Greeenriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancho Peacemaker Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Jim Alaimo of Nutmeg Sports (do a Google search). He's done ivory stocks for three different handguns I own. I was pleased in every way with his work. Edit: Here's a picture of two of the handguns he's made grips for: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/gso...SS/DSC05257.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeweler jim Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Get a hold of Raj at Eagle Grips. They won't be aged, but they will be the real thing and done very nicely. On rare occasion he has some that were traded in that might work for some guns. Believe he recently cut some which would mean he will have more to choose from to do your work.

Texas Jim Henry, SASS #20616 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I second Greeenriver's recommendation for Paul Persinger. I'm not sure about your Ruger, but I know with a Colt Single Action, he can accomplish the fitting with your grip frame and trigger guard. What that means is that you save a considerable amount of $$$ by not having to ship the whole gun to him. His work is excellent.

Tom Payne 13115 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I have ivory grips from both Persinger and Meachum, and both do fine work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ivory grips I suggest Boone Traders in Washington. (Boonetrading.com) They have poly ivory for about $40 and real elephant ivory for about $400. You can also get Colt or Ruger medallions installed pretty cheap. good shootin curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've had good luck with Bar S Grips at http://www.truivory.com/ They have any aged configuration you might want in a synthetic grip and also carry the real thing. Smithy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Ritter Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Take a look at this website: outlawgrips.com. I have two of his ivory grips on my Schofields and am very pleased with his work. He has new look, aged look, lots of bark (grain) or very little, and pictures on his website of work he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
