I have gradually been replacing the grips on my Ruger revolvers. I have sent the grip frames to Chad at CHIGSGRIPS.com to have him hand fit his grip blanks.
He does an excellent job and I highly recommend him.

I've emailed this guy numerous times and have never gotten a reply from him. How do you contact him regarding grips?!

Oh and beautiful examples, but you already knew that.
 
I would never not answer on email. Either I didnt get it or I replied and it went to your spam folder.

Chad at CHIGSGRIPS.com and I just got in touch today. SUPER nice guy and looking forward to working with him. We have confirmed that his emails have been going to my spam folder, we found that out today.

So if you are trying to get in touch with him, check your spam folder for whatever reason.
 
Just noticed this thread. They are all very nice !! I am a bit partial to those fiddle back maples though. But all are great !!

Chad has gotten a lot of my money. That said, I am happy to give it to him. He just did a 1911 set for me in Spalted Hackberry on an all stainless gun. Absolutely beautiful.
 
What does spalted hackberry look like? We have a bunch of them on the property but don't think I've ever seen anything made from it.

Here is my Ruger SR1911 in 9mm. This is Spalted Hackberry made by Chad at Chigsgrips.
The second picture is them on his site before he shipped them to me.

His panels are great too. I'm sure I'll get it wrong just from memory but I believe mine is curly claro walnut. Looks SO much better than the original panels. Best looking GP100 extant now. Pic soon.
