My used 15-2 came with the factory neoprene grip, which was alright but not really to my taste. I had a chunk of wood that I got from a building-material salvage place. It's nice and dense with good working qualities; I figured it would make a nice grip for the Dan Wesson. I got it cut and fitted to the gun, rough-shaped it and then started removing wood until it felt just right. I finished it up with some clear Minwax. I'll take it to the range and try it out soon, but I really like the look and feel.

Blued steel deserves wood, not rubber grips. Nice work!

That had to be hard to inlet. I have threatened my DWs many times with home-aid grips but never found a proper way to inlet short of making it two parts . Hats off and all that.
