New grips for an old flat top.

Post by Gkitch »

I own many good guns but actually use and carry a small few. One of my regular favorite outdoor companions is this FLAT TOP 357 MAGNUM sold to me for a great price many years ago by a good friend. Fishing, hiking, or hunting it rides in an El Paso holster on a river belt and is comfortable and accessible.

The original grips, however, were pretty dull.

Yesterday, a set of custom grips made of Rosewood Burl arrived in the mail. They were made by Chad Robinett of Chigs Grips in Missouri.

There is no practical improvement, but good looking grips matter.

I agree. Chad makes some beautiful grips. I had him make up these Hackberry in XR3-RED recently.

Chad makes beautiful grips. I have a few sets myself. I’d show them off but I need to figure out how to post pics here.

At the bottom are two tabs, Options and Attachments. Hit the attachments tab and then hit add files. Keep in mind that the first one you attach will be at the bottom and additional attachments will be above it.
