Grasshorn elk stag on S&W

[Joe S.]

Grasshorn had a deal going on one if the Facebook pages for 10% off so last week i ordered a set. Been thinking about a set if stags for my old Smith and Wesson. Wasn't too long ago i didn't care for stags but as i get into grip making i have found that my tastes are changing. Still not sure how i feel about them on single actions but i think they look good on DA's. Guess it would depend on the gun... I don't have much desire to make S&W grips because of the cutout at the top. So this deal got the nod for this gun. This is my K-38.

That kit looks pretty nice...I just don't care for the stags.JMO

For some reason, when I see them, I am reminded of all of the cap pistol sets that I had when growing up..gives me a "cheap" impression...and they are anything but cheap.

Patrick does good work. I have some bighorn grips in transit now.

elk stag is great, polishes like real ivory, but you have to band saw it to get as much as the hard white outer bark as you can and stay away from the inside porous center. I've put them on my S and W snub and just on a .22 single six, and they look great. lots of character. I have four colts with real ivory, all SAA, one is 30 years old and they wear and feel great. I think the elk will be fine too....Ken

I also have two more pairs of Grashorn American Elk Stag handles, both on Colts:

That's it! I like the look the vintage look on DA's. Mine are Pete's smooth elk...

A little blurry but a matching set of Pythons with Grashorns for comparison.

Joe, I love that Combat Masterpiece. I need me one of those. I had a model 15-3 but I want a 5-screw pre-model gun like yours. Very nice, thanks for sharing that. Looks great with the elks on it.
