Educate me, why the high price tag?

Very top shelf grip maker with outstanding eye to detail and wood selection. My N frame Roper style grips were almost a year out when I ordered them and comparably priced. If you have that special N frame Smith then grips from Keith or Rob Rowen commensurate with the gun.

Are these grips normally built to fit a specific gun or are they usually off the shelf like this? I can't imagine fit is much better than factory unless the maker has the gun in hand.
The Fishpaw DA grips I've seen were always fit to a specific gun.

Most Smiths are consistent enough in size due to their manufacturing process that the grips are not fit to the gun unless requested is what I understand. When I had my model 58 built I believe I had Hamilton send it to Keith just out of my OCD on custom guns. I have bought several sets of KB grips from others and they all fit as good as or better than factory.

Beautiful handwork, but if that's English Walnut I'm Fiona Apple.

A few years ago I ordered some N frame grips from Keith. Took 18 months and they were not much less than those listed.

Old factory coke bottles are bringing that and do not look that nice

Dandy Diamond Jim is at it again!
I've been able to move several sets of Keith's grips around to different guns with no problems.
He IS the Roy Fishpaw of DA grips.
Bowen used him exclusively for the grips on DAs when he still worked on them, just like he used to do Roy and now Rob Rowan.
Only the best!
