Rip Snorter Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Excellent. I'm thinking about some checkered buffalo horn, but kind of low key on a blue gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.K. Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 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 , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
