Stag Grips for Handguns
Guns have always been my passion. I like to own them, decorate
them, handle them, make them shoot better, and make them look better. I can still
remember the stag handles on the guns of the old Hollywood Cowboys. I grew up in the
time of TV and Big Screen Cowboys. I never got over it.
Stag antler has been used
as a handgun grip material ever since discriminating gun handlers started looking for
tough, serviceable, eye-catching panels for their pistols. Antler has the weight,
durability, color, texture and good looks that are sought after by many shooters demanding
those qualities. |

Elk grow antlers of
excellent quality. However, some parts of all antlers are better than other
parts. From the base end of any big antler up to the 3rd tine, the shell is thicker
and the bark will be deeper textured than anything above that. I use only those
shank ends that will produce the best looking and the toughest grips.
I would like to answer a few question that come up
now and then. I do not have a big production shop and I do
not sell wholesale. Sorry, but I am just one
person who makes grips one pair at a time. I should have
retired some years ago but didn't want to die of boredom so,
I just keep on making a few grips. However, I don't do
anything but single action and 1911 grips. Back when I
should have retired I just quit making all the other stuff.
Single actions are my favorites and as long as I am able I
will continue doing a few of those. I still try and keep a
few in stock for the popular guns like Ruger, USFA, and
1911's."
Fitting for Ruger single actions is not a problem. Their frames are all
very close to one another and fitting from one to the other is usually great. Colt
1911's and all of those clones are also very close and present no unusual fitting
problems.
My stag grips are all made one set at a time and finally sanded by hand. Then
they go to a cloth wheel and are polished to a glass smooth finish. They are fitted
with brass escutcheons and a stainless steel screw cut to the proper length. They
are ready to install when you get them. I always pay the shipping.
You may contact me any of the ways listed on this web site and I
will e-mail you photos of grips that I have on hand for your
particular pistol.
