N frame elk grips arrived...
These are the N frame round butt elk grips that were recently brought to my attention by Hoot.
The seller on Gunbroker is bigmtnman. I like the grips and his service and turnaround were fast. Recommended.

It looked like a nice set at that auction. I like the way he matches the grip frames; the bevels and radii. On his 'fit' guns they match very well.
Like I mentioned, he's on my gonna-wanna list....once I decide which pistol.
Which guns are you thinking about? NT

Oh, I don't know.

I have a few what deserve it but most of them have grips numbered to the pistol and it seems like bad ju-ju to break that up. 
One very viable candidate is a Colt New Service which started life as a .455 Eley and was shaved along the way. I recently found a .455 unmolested cylinder and have the thought to bring it back to its' original configuration. That may well involve pretty-in' it up a bit and, if it does, purty grips would be in the running.
There are a couple of newer models which may need a bit of 'gussy-ing' as well.
very svelt!!

Looks nice and trim, at first glance it looks like a satin nickled Modler 19! I don't know what range of loads you plan on shooting through it but I would agree that a T-Grip would help with recoil and handling in general. It would for my hands at least. I've always had trouble with N frames fitting my hands properly. I've got two now, one 1917 with service grips and one modified with Magnas. I need to get a T-Grip and try out on one or both.
How's the fit?

I have long been impressed by the way he blends his grips to his pistols. The radii match; the bevel matches; in short, they look like they belong on that particular pistol. Always wondered how much variation there really was between this'un and that'un. Good look for your Mountain Gun!
