Just got a couple of new pairs of grips for my Model 29 and Model 27. The Model 29 grips are made from fiddleback Royal Bastogne and the Model 27 grips are California English walnut.

They're made by a member over at the Smith and Wesson forum; goes by "Kurac."

Wow....very impressive. I have a 1966 Model 57 4" that I'd like to upgrade. I may need to get in touch with this guy. Thanks for the photos. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time"

He does great work, the palm swell is not real obvious in the pictures but it tames recoil down to almost nothing. I'm talkin to him now about a pair of grips in marble cake walnut.

Kurac's grips are some of the best I've tried and his turn-around time and prices are pretty good. I've got more on order

I THOUGHT so! Nice grips! That birdseye maple really goes well with a stainless finish. Who did the engraving on that power-ported 629?

He does nice smooth "coke shaped" combat's too. I have another set ready in fancy English for a M28 conversion in the works.

Edm: Those magnas look really cool on your M25. I had these out today on my 4" 624 to see how they worked with heavier recoil. Kurac made them from Eureka variety English walnut:
