PowderRiverCowboy Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 While I think you can never go wrong with Stag let’s see some other grips a couple of mine but have some new ones like to swap out (thunderer being one ). Here a couple of my stag and Buffalo horn
Rip Snorter Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 Excellent. I'm thinking about some checkered buffalo horn, but kind of low key on a blue gun.

Rip Snorter Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Fun! Never had the birds head grips on anything,don't think I've ever had one in my hand! Tempted. Tho I have and have had a variety of percussion, cartridge conversion is also interesting. Got to keep on task and get a replacement for the .45 lever gun I let go, and get the new CZ slicked up a bit.
Cholla Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 These are mesquite burl made by Richard C. in Hereford, Arizona. I think the look fantastic.

Mesquite would for sure be a choice I am considering or Koa wood , As looking to match the Thunderer and Plow grip so somewhat limits choices

Jay Vendetta Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Here's my newest set of vaqueros, 44 wcf. Going for a doc look. Grips are hogues faux pearls.
Rip Snorter Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Had a pair, but GSP kept visiting me in my dreams and suggesting employment opportunities for me in New Orleans so I sold them. Seriously, though, a good period look!

T.K. Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 It's not a Colt. But here's my OMV. Nothing like Real Stag. The grips are worth almost as much as I paid for my first Ruger Vaquero!
watab kid Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 im running the black plastic ruger offered on their centennials , they are slim enough to fit my hend and course enough not to slip , i love the look of those shown above and i like a nice set of walnut grip scales , but my working revolvers are still the tools i bought and have to function first for me , i wont say i dont have a set that have grip scales that look good but are not my favorite in function , my EMFs have their original scales that are engraved and glossy/slick , i seldom shoot them for just that reason ,

Nate Kiowa Jones #6765 Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I do but I am a fulltime gunsmith with a backlog of gun work. So the problem is time and cost. I probably have at least 4 or 5 hours in each set.
Warden Callaway Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Some walnut grips I made a couple of years ago for 1860 Armys.

Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I have real Colts I'd like to fit out with real ivory, but real ivory has become a pain in the backside to acquire and own. Thirty years ago you could get read-made paper-micarta grips in an ivory color -- I have a pair on a Ruger Super Blackhawk. Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know where those are available? I'm told there is an even higher-quality ivory substitute available now, but I don't know it's name and I don't know where to buy it. Any and all advice cheerfully accepted, here or via private message. And I didn't see a single set of ugly grips on this thread -- y'all have some beautiful sixguns.
Captain Bill Burt Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Not a SAA, but still nice with real ivory grips.

Dont think its a Hijack at all the more grips and sources the better . Are you thinking of the Magna Tusk ? Only place I have seen them is the Ebay store https://www.ebay.com/str/arizonacustomgrips?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5336728181&customid=&toolid=10001

My PC here in the office won't let me access e-bay, so I'll have to check at home. I appreciate the help.
Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I just found out I can access Ebay if I change browsers. I think those are the grips I read about. I'd buy a pair, as an experiment, but the guns are in the U.S. and I'm in Germany, it'll have to wait until next year.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Didn't like the pearl grips it came with, so I replaced them with real ivory. Wooley Mammoth Ivory.

E.D. BLACK Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Thanks Rip , I am very blessed - and dedicated. You best get home , I saw the black Mercedes in front of the cabin .... I think Beth has some steaks on the table and a twinkle in her eye .
