I prefer medium to dark woods (reply)

I like the contrast.

On a blued gun I like medium woods or something light like ivory micarta

Thanks for the input gentlemen. (reply)

I was leaning toward stags, the thought of buff horn crossed my mind as well.

I haven't ruled out white corian just yet. I've seen photos of Model 60's tricked out with a high polish Tyler T and white grips. Sure is an eye catcher.

Thanks for the input, I can't think of a better crew to ask about what looks good. I'm currently in search of a small onion sack for a holster, but I'll worry about that when it gets here.

What grips look best on a stainless revolver? (reply)

Sorry about the picture quality. Quick indoor cell phone picture.

Fancy walnut or rosewood are always good choices (reply)

for wooden stocks. I prefer darker grips on stainless and nickel pistols. Just a quirk of mine. But I wouldn't look down my nose at something fancy.

Horn looks good. I've had mixed luck with elk. BJ Snow works in giraffe bone, too, with great skill.

stag, in this particular case. (reply)

I have a 2.5" 66 with Sambar Stags and a polished Aluminum T grip. I think it is a great combination. I had some pictures online but lost them.

that is classy! that would be my choice too! (reply)

Are you righty-handed, Murph? (reply)

If'n I had a model 60 I think the cool setup would be the polished Tyler with a set of black Barami Hip-Grips, and have someone who is good at it cut some nice checkering on the right-side panel only, leaving the left one smooth. That solves the only problem I've found with Baramis - they are plain looking and kinda slick if your hands are sweaty. Checkering the right side gives a better grip, but the smooth left panel don't scrape yer tender hide when carried close.

I found the Hip-Grip to be real handy back when I carried a Model 36 sneaky-style.

what ever fits your hand and works. all this color match (reply)

is for the birds. Walnut looks good to me!

I have a spare grip frame for one of these, anyone want it? (reply)

I like black buffler horn... (reply)

Boge Quinn — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:16:15 +0000

...seen here on a stainless Virginian Dragoon. These are by Eagle.

Only have a couple pictures of SS arms... (reply)

This one now wears black ebony RB...but I don't seem to have a recent picture. Shown is Eagle rosewood.

These are some old Jay Scott zebra wood panels after some fit 'n finish.

I expect some buff'ler horn would look real snazzy as well.

Sounds like a dandy!

Then have Rob stitch up a mermaid hide holster

Sounds like a net find Murphy. See you at CSA hopefully.

On the S&W I prefer a Craig Spiegel boot grip in rosewood.
You won't need the Tyler though.

Picked up a super clean 1967 Model 60. Its clean as a hounds tooth. I have a Tyler T Grip polished silver ready to go on it. It came with a set of Goodyear grips, so those have to go.

I'm leaning towards corian white with Smith & Wesson medallions. Stag wouldn't look bad either I'm sure.

Any suggestions? Picture's?
