New to me

[Blackwater Butch]

Visited my local pawn shop this morning. Found 2 revolvers waiting there for me.
A 44mag s&w ss 8 3/8"
Bbl. Model 629-1. Also, a New model Super Blackhawk 44mag ss 5 1/2" Bbl. Ser# 86-256XX. Needless to say they both rode home with me in the car. Some days are much better than others. Because this is a Ruger Forum, I'll only post pics of the Ruger. I am curious about the grips. I am pretty sure they are not factory, but they are extremely comfortable. I think they are there to stay.

Always a great day when you get two new guns! And a couple of good ones too. Oh, and we don't mind seeing pictures of guns even though they aren't Rugers.

Nice finds! And yes, I like to look at Smith & Wesson revolvers also. We had a pawn shop in town for about 30 years, got to know the owner quite well. He had a special interest in guns and I picked up a number of them there. Stopped in about every day. He retired and closed his shop about 5 years ago. My wallet is happier but I'm not.

Nice pair!

Oh, you are correct. The grips on the Ruger are not factory.

Any ideas where they were made?

 

[contender]

No idea as to the maker. You can take them off to see if there is any markings on the inside.
But they look more like a custom set. I haven't seen anything like them anywhere.
