Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Today I received new Altamont rosewood grip stocks for my S&W model 625-9 "Mountain Gun." I do like the way these stocks look, but even better, the revolver seems to point more accurately than the original Hogue black rubber stocks. I hope they also improve my shooting this revolver. Now I need to get to the range and find out. My new Altamont "S&W N Round Conversion Target Super Rosewood Checkered Engraved" grip stocks. Purty ain't they?

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Those are too purdy for you to shoot, Birdgun. Send the revolver to me for safekeeping for you. Very BEAUTIMUS, Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Birdgun, That looks very nice. Classy! I love Altamont grips. I have bought 3 sets now and I am very pleased with them. I have a set of the fleur de lis "slim" grips on my old model Ruger Vaquero .45 with a 7.5" barrel in Silver and Black. Changed the way that gun feels when you shoot it and it is so much nicer now. I plan to get a set of the rosewood grips for my S&W model 36 soon. Yes, you do need to get out and shoot that revolver. Have fun!

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I like my Combat Grips on my S&W 625. Rolan, I must say that I was torn between the Altamont Combat grips and the Target grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) They are purdy....think I'll take a gander at the smooth version for the .44 Sam, Altamont target grips are more narrow than the factory S&W target grips found on those Smith revolvers back in the 70's. You may or may not like the narrower grips. Edited January 14, 2017 by Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I like em. I generally prefer walnut to rosewood, but on your gun they look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwood, I like walnut also. Here are Altamont "Smith and Wesson J Square Fingergroove Super Walnut Checkered Fleur-de-Lis" grip stocks on my S&W model 34-1 "Kit Gun." The original Magna stocks were too small and these stocks were a big improvement to shooting this .22LR revolver.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 You think you got problems, I don't have any guns purdy enough to warrant grips like that. Of course I don't have any real guns, all of them are virtual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yea, that was a 'testy' one, for sure. I regret the family has disowned me and therefore, I probably won't be eligible for any inheritance..... Anyhow, I can atleast say that my favorite Uncle has great taste in pistols AND wood grips..... ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
