Got these American Holly grips from a forum member. He rough fitted them and I did the final fitting and finishing. Had to shoot it before final finishing and it worked out well. This is my favorite handgun and has put meat in the freezer and coyote pelts on the wall. 3 coats of True Oil buffed with 00000 steel wool between coats. Final coat was also steel wooled so it wouldn't be too shiny. They have to be felt to be believed.

Looks great! I don't think that I've ever seen grips made from American Holly. Looks almost like ivory in the photos.

About as close to ivory as you can get anymore. Nice looking revolver.
