I've tried many different types of grips on S&W double actions, and my favorites are Blu Magnums. I just ordered a S&W 25 Classic (45 Colt on a square N-frame) and really would like a pair of Blu Mags on it. Is anyone making copies of Tedd's grips? I had an order in with him when he unexpectedly passed, very sad to see him go; was nice talking with him on the phone. I keep looking for BearHugs too, I guess they're like hens teeth as well.
If I can't find any Blu Mags I'll probably hang my head in defeat and order a set of Herretts Detectives or Nills.
Appreciate any guidance.

There are quite a few custom stock makers. You might consider commissioning one of them to make your stocks.

Making grips for Single Action and 1911 handguns is one thing. But doing it for double action revolvers, especially target style, requires a whole other level of skills.
My hat is off to those that can do it and do it well.

Here are my “Skeeter Skelton” style grips from Blu Magnum about 15 +/- years ago. I sent in a drawing of my hand and asked for slim grips. They are slim! John Taffin’s photos of his Blu Magnum grips made me do it. They are on my M27 5” from 1978.   |

Uhh, that was mentioned in the OP's first post.
I see that Zane has supplied us with some of his wonderful DA grip pictures. I'm sure that if given the opportunity, and a guide as to what the style is needed,, he'll be able to fix up the OP with a good set of grips.

Zane made me a set similar profile to what he posted and they are great. The profile mimics the old coke grip profile. The newer grips are too fat in my opinion.
