Does anybody make such a thing? I know it's a long shot, but I'm curious. I love the Eagle gunfighter grips that Rajh built for my Old Model Bisleys, and it would be pretty cool to have a set for my 58 Remingtons...

Charlie, is it the thinness or the checkering?  I put Arizona Custom Grips on two pair of '58's because my hands are smaller.  Look about halfway down the first page of this topic:

They are thinner than stock except at the top.  There is stippling between the scrolls - easier to see on the black grips.  It is not aggressive at all, which is fine for me because I typically don't care for the feel of checkering, but they feel very secure and non-slip in the hands.  If it is mainly checkering that you want, you could always send a pair of wood grips to be laser-checkered.

 

edit to add: they also have some checkered grips without scrolls, I expect they are thinner than stock as well but I don't know:

Here is a pair of '58's I checkered several years ago. I really like themCheckered58s.thumb.jpg.526fe94350b676706373b4708f774d56.jpg except for the long hammer throw.

These are what are on my Bisleys. I like the thinner lower part with the checkering with the swells at the top. They fit my hands and stubby fingers well!
