Talk to me about N frame grips...
One of my fav handguns is a stainless .44 Mtn gun. I've carried it for years with the old pachymar grips. Useful in inclement weather but ugly as sin.
This gun is an old friend and I would like to dress it up a touch. What are your thoughts on material and who should do the work?

right now my thought is I could go with a Miculek grip set. Those are available quickly and I like the shape and open backstrap. Plus it's only $85.
On the custom side, I'm not thinking ivory or most likely bone...the walnut options are generally my fav. Blu-Magnum is a maybe. Who else?

Miculek's can often be found at a decent discount second hand but unused. I love how they feel... As long as I don't have to actually shoot the gun. I've tried them on a few 625's and 627's shooting minor USPSA loads which tells me I sure wouldn't like them for the 44mag.
I have a couple sets of Nils that I really like, I just which they were cheaper.
To me though the Moauntain Gun asks for smaller grips. ive still stuck with then Compacs on my MG all these years.

Stag or Buffalo Just depends on if you like textured or smooth.

No personal experience with his work but they sure look good.

Please let me know what you think when they arrive. I've been-a-gonna buy some but circumstances, as well as trying to decide which revolver, have conspired against me.

This may be sacrilege around here, but what about something in G10 or Micarta? I like the look of the darker colors of G10 on a stainless gun. They would give you a good grip in various weather condition, still be durable as all heck and look a ton better than rubber grips.
VZ makes good quality grips and they aren't prices too bad. Available smooth or checkered (tactical diamond; ha!)

I like these Eagle elk grips. I run them with a Tyler T, but apparently I don't have a pic of that.
