Could you ask him what tool he uses to make the dimples. Very uniform, and bet they look great in the sunlight. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Steak Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have a pair of Uberti Cattleman pistols; they both have standard wood grips but the color of the wood is noticeably different. I am looking to buy a matching set of grips for the guns because - well, because looking good is part of the appeal to me. I like to say I dont care how much they cost - but I do. I can't afford shell out so much money on grips that I could have bought another gun or a branch new progressive reloaded. I'm just not sure where to start looking for grips that look decent that wont break the bank. I wish I could find an attractive set of ivory/faux-ivory that look good on a set of blued pistols but I cant seem to find anything that really trips my interests price wise so far. Any thoughts?

Do you have any skill at fitting the grips yourself?

Unless it's just to play around with and get better. The $65 ones are much better looking. Even some close examination has fooled knowing folks. They are that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Steak Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The blanks look pretty cool - I just dont have the tools or talent to turn the slabs into a set of grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The checkering lessens the tendency to slip and the eagle fills the palm of my hand. I like these too. Mine have the horsey; but not the eagle. They are just bumpy enough to grip; but not rough and scratchy like the grips on my 1911. 21 hours ago, Hashknife Cowboy said: This is my favorite hang onto my gun grip......Altamont laminated walnut, the rosewood are worth looking at also. Wow! I this design and the bumps don't look scratchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
