Beautiful! What's the turn around time on a set of grips like that?

The reason for the entire gun was summed up well by CraigC. If as perfect a fit as possible is the goal, you have to fit to the receiver along with the grip frame. With the complete gun you can also get a specific amount of tension or snugness in the way the panel fits in place by better locating the grip locator pin hole. dougader asked: Can such color be had from domestic sheep? Greg's grips are indeed bighorn - sourced from Canada. Not all bighorn has that much black however - some can be closer in tone to what we see in Dall (hopefully with a bit more color and character!). I don't necessarily agree with the above statement in red although I can see how it would work. When I make a pair of grips, the grip pin hole is drilled into the panels and then I fit the grips to the grip frame. Who's to say one method is better than the other? I guess it's just up to the maker. Beautiful pair of grips as the others have said. I love making sheep's horn grips. |

Savit260 - I will send you a message about turn around time.
In terms of grip locator pin location / tension, I go with the process Roy showed me. Not all materials get the same snugness. There are different ways of course to set the locator hole. I will stick with what works well for me, as other makers should go with what they feel is best.

Those are some great looking grips on a great looking gun.

I'm compelled to mention what great communication happens with having these grips made.
From picking the blanks through the finished product it's top notch.
Not that others aren't good but when you're making a serious investment into a set of grips for that special revolver it's awesome.
Of course the mystique of not knowing what you're getting has it's appeal too.
Just sayin'

After seeing these horn grips I think I'm going to need a pair myself. Absolute perfection.
