More David Bradshaw photos

[Burnston]

Thanks, Mr. Bradshaw.

For those interested, I’ve used Mr. Bradshaw’s photos, (with his permission) over on the Smith forum hoping to get a few photo representations of home modified grips. Zane, and others, are so good at their jobs that sometimes it can be a little bit of a wait to get your grips, (just the nature of a fine craftsman putting out a high quality product,) and we’re forced to modify what we have to suit our purposes. No one better embodies this need than Bradshaw.

No real response yet; feel free to participate.

Benjamin.... photos of altered grips on a K-fame M-66 and an N-frame .45 ACP (in your thread on the S&W forum), show wood meeting trigger guard at 90-degree angle.... As opposed to the French curve blending of wood to steel. This is o.k.----if not perfect----on milder recoiling .357 or .45 ACP; however, incorrect on uploaded .44 or .45. Good thread for a shooter to study. Also, rounding the butt protects one's ribs from sharp impact during a fall. That’s every bit as important as smoothing the draw.

Ronnie.... 4-inch 29 from when Smith & Wesson made decent grips, so-said Goncalo Alves from the Amazon environ. Sanded down for all-around carry and shooting. Scallop hollowed to clear the HKS M-29 speed loader. S&W used enough wood to blend wood to trigger guard via a French curve. Toe is narrowed for purchase by little finger.
