Pearl or ivory pics included Rodgers and Spencer

I vote ivory

I do like Ivory and blued steel, but I'm going with walnut on this one.

If the choice is EVER pearl vs ivory, the answer is always ivory. Every. Single. Time.
But I also agree with @Armored farmer. The R&S screams for walnut.

I'm not a fan of faux materials especially in conjunction with traditional pursuits such as Black Powder revolvers.
I'm guessing the ivory is faux, so no go.
The pearl has a better chance of being "real" if so great, if not, stick with real wood in my opinion.

We know what George Patton thought of pearl “New Orleans pimp” grips. He liked real ivory. I like wood.

Patton never had a conversation with Tom Threepersons, or Frank Hamer.

I have no problem with mother-of-pearl stocks on certain handguns. But real ivory is just classier.

Absent the real deal, put me in the camp of choosing nice walnut.

Ivory if you can afford it.

I'm an ivory fan myself but I like nice wood grips also.

And I’ll bet if he’d ever had, his opinion wouldn’t have swayed even an iota… nor would theirs, but I’m with the General here. Ivory or bone over pearl. But for a blued revolver I go with the best walnut you can afford.

I do like me some stag tho

By the way. If anyone hasn’t seen it. I think “The Highwaymen” on Netflix does a fair job of showing the real Frank Hamer, Kevin Costner does him a service in his portrayal. Maney Gault wasn’t as fairly portrayed by Woody Harrelson but I guess for the purpose of the show you have to have the sidekick…

Better pics outside would help but from what I can tell THAT fake pearl looks better to me than THAT fake ivory. Both look ok to me. Its kind of a goofy looking grip anyway.

I gotta go with the others. Wood all the way.

“Nothing like a nice piece of” … walnut.

Or hickory, for that matter.
