Here's a set of crotch figured walnut that Carl Schultz did for me. I added them to one of my 401 Bobcats and finally snapped photos:

I'm really pleased with the grain and matte finish. Carl's grips are little thicker than stock, especially at the top. Like Cary Chapman's, they fit my hand just right.

They look great, as does your revolver, Lee.

Remind me, what are the specs on the 401 Bobcat?

It's based on 220 Swift brass cut to 1.40". Shoots a standard 10mm bullet.

Left to Right - 401 Bobcat brass, 401 loaded with a 265 grain cast bullet, 41 Magnum for comparison:
