    Just got new grips for my S&W revolver. Help me decide!

    I couldn't decide which one I liked better over web pictures.. so I decided to have Altamont create both of these for me... and now its even harder to decide which one I like better since they look even better in person. What say the rest of you.. based on... web pictures (yea yea.. I know).




    They feel great and as much as I like Hogue.. these fit my hand far better.

    I don't think you could go wrong with either, but the reddish wood grain catches my eye at first glance.

        Hah, I'm leaning just barely towards the rosewood. GF prefers the silverblack. You're right though.. really can't go wrong with either one. I know the "logical" answer here is buy another revolver to wear the other... but I don't quite need 2 N-Frames.. so I have to stick with with the original plan of selling one.

            Normally, me too.. and the rosewood def had a slight edge due to that bias.. but the more I play around with the silverblack, the more its growing on me.

              It looks like, a side from the color they are both the same grip.
              So it it up to you color wise which one "you" like.
              I myself lean toward the reddish grips, but that's just me.

                  The red hue makes the stainless POP! My vote.

                    Put one panel from each color on the gun until you decide which you like more.

                    I like rosewood on my revolvers but, that silver black is pretty sweet.

                    I know, match your holster color! Or at least see which looks better with your rig.

                            Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                              They're both beautiful but my preference would be the red ones.
