A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

nice grips


Collection of the all the nice colt grips I know. If I missed something please send a pointer!


I really like these oversized ebony grips from eagle, though they often require fitting before they meet precisely. I've bought six pairs...



The similar grips on the bicentennial python are really nice too, but I don't know where to get them other than buying another bicentennial...












The excaliber grips (from ajax?) are nice and are what got used on later model python elites. grips4guns has them, though apparently at a $30 to $40 markup compared to what colt will sell them for to you.




Of course, the colt medallion pachmayr grips. I don't believe anyone sells these so I've had to buy them off of GB or various forums. Going rate is edging up to $50 apiece. I don't like normal pachs; these seem somewhat larger.











I don't have the rest of these, but am planning on fixing that.



Everyone loves Herret stocks. Inexpensive yet high quality hand made, though be prepared to wait a month or two. You trace your hand, send it in, they make custom grips. Jordan troopers come highly recommended for controlling the recoil on anacondas with full house loads:
























Fully checkered aftermarket grips; they claimed they'd have gold medallion ones in a couple of weeks.


These pricey custom badger grips seem to look really nice on bright polish (can't find a photo: they look much better than in isolation):


And this guy has some great grips, though apparently only does colts as custom requests. From a recent post at the colt forum, here they are on a colt:
