Grip Pictures Page 1
  • Aimless Lee Howdy from way down under. The standard grips on my ASM Schofield were too thin for my hands so I made these out of New Zealand walnut, didn't take that long either.
  • Blue Rock Bill
    Bill Mains engraved the backstraps of my Vaqueros while I was at the Grand American last week. I chose silver for the inlay so it would tie into the silver colored trigger and hammer. If anyone is interested Mains can be reached at 1 765 778 9243 or fax 778 9273.

    1-2) Here's a couple of pics of my Colt SAA 2nd generation.
    3)A 58 and one with a Kirst over Hickok's hand.
  • Bottom Dealin' Mike 1 2 3
    The Ultimate Remington and a full size Armi San Marcos '58. The Ultimate Remington is cut down to 5 1/2 inches and the lever has been cut down to match. The .45 Colt cartridge cylinder from is Kenny Howell. The grips are made from poly-ivory block sold for scrimshanding by Dixie Gun Works.
  • Buckshot Barry
    Bolivian Rosewood grips on Rugers from Lett Custom Grips. The picture doesn't do them justice.
  • Buffalo Dung 1 2
    1) 62 Navy with laminated grips, not what you would call period correct but they do look good!
    2) One is a Uberti and one is an A.S.M., you cant tell it in the pictures but the trigger, trigger guard, hammer and all the screws are gold plated, the rest is nickel. A friend of mine, Red Dooly, did the plating for me. Her and her husband, T-Bone, own www.badlandsbar3.com and Pauls Pawn and gun shop, she does rings and stuff but I talked her in to doing these for me, I did the "work" stripped the blue and cch then polished them up
  • California Carlson
    45 cal Cimmaron model P's in "original" finish with micarta grips. Leather is San Pedro Saddlery.
  • Capt. George Baylor 1 2 3
    1-2) Ruger Old Army with Eagle Gunfighter Grips in ivory polymer (not Ultra Ivory.) They're checkered, and Eagle didn't have any checkered Ultra Ivory at the time. Ultra Ivory ages. This, like the stainless gun, looks brand new always.) This is a "working" gun, so too fancy grips wouldn't be appropriate. It gets some hard use.
    3) This is the "Before." Currently this gun and its twin are at Peacemaker Specialists getting enough work that the price used to buy a car. This is a stock SASS Colt SAA in .45 Colt. The "After" photo will have elephant ivory. Eddie Janis of Peacemaker Specialists was chosen because Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch recommended him. So watch this space.
  • Capt. John FItzgerald 1 2
    1)On top is a Colt 3rd Gen. with one piece, elephant ivory grips by Jim Alaimo of Nutmeg Sports (nutmegsports.com). On bottom is a USFA, special ordered to match the Colt, with factory elephant ivory. THe presentation case was made by Bill Shumate.
    2)I offer this not so much for the grips, which are nice, but for the rarity of the gun. It is one of only 40 Richards-Mason conversions made by U. S. Firearms. U.S.F.A. abandoned plans to put this model into production.
  • Cold Iron Charly 1 2
    1) The wood is cocobolo. No finish as yet, the wood is so hard you can polish it. The grips are about 1/16" larger all around to fill my hand
    2) this is the first set of grips I made. These are Zebra wood, tung oil finish. Attract a lot of attention at matches. $10 for a chunk of lumber, the rest is labor.
  • Coronel Dan
    Old Model Ruger with samba stag grips.
  • Dapper Dan 1 2 3 4
    1-2) The Vaqueros were engraved by Gouse engraving and the grips laser engraved
    3-4) The Colts are 125th anniv guns with laser engraved grips

    3) Two more Bisleys and grips
  • El Concho 1 2 3
    1)custom handmade faux ivory grips on my Cimarron lightnings
    2) Customized Engraved Ruger Blackhawks, 357 Mag. The bottom gun started life as a three screw and the top one is a new model. These guns were customized before Ruger produced Vaqueros. These were converted to fixed sights, hexagon barrels, nickel plated and engraved. The grips are gold-tone pewter, slim profile; floral cut much like the engraving. Both guns do have the ever-present ruger cylinder marks, since I started shooting them. The guns, grips, leather, and baby bowie are all pre owned items obtained over the last 2-3 years. There are nice items out there at good prices, never stop looking. The guns from estate sale (auction), grips & leather from other SASS CAS members, and the knife was a yard sale find.
    3) .36 Pietta stainless 58 Remmies, Grips customized from old Jay Scott Blackhawk laminated stag with Great Seal of United States medallions added and backstrap butt rounded. Chopped to 5 ½", brass ramp frontsight, & cylinders reamed for snail capper.

    Eagle Elk Horn grips on my 3rd Generation Colt

  • Hangfire 1 2 3
    Silver inlay on the original walnut grips on a pair of Cimarron '72 Colt Open Tops in .44 Russian with Consecutive Serial #s. The design represents my alias. The grips were made by a fella by the name of Owl Hoot in New Hampshire. I provided the design and the original grips and he did the work. He also slicked up the actions for me and lightened and matched the mainsprings some.
