Altamont S&W Stocks Questions

gregp74 · Mar 27, 2020

I braved a trip to the gun store today and picked up my new S&W 66 Combat Magnum. I bought a set of Altamont Altai stocks for it last week and put them on when I got home. It turns out they feel a little big for my smallish hands.

That leads me to a question. I've got their Altamont's Combat grips on my round J frame 63 and they feel pretty good. How would those compare to the K frame Combat ones? I assume the ones for K frame would be scaled up a little bit?

I'm thinking about going with those instead. Or something that might be midway between the Alta and the Combats size-wise.

I have Altamont “Coke Bottle” Target grips on my model 14 K frame and they feel better than the original K frame grips to me. I have small hands and only wear a size medium glove.

I just received a set of Culina grips, I had them make for a Smith and Wesson model 18, no dash. They are magna style, made of English walnut. They emailed me pictures of the blanks to choose from and emailed me pictures of the grips, to approve before they shipped them. The whole process took about a month. I have a set of N frame coke bottles, in black and white ebony on order. They make beautiful grips.

If I remember correctly, these are Altamonts on my 586.

I ended up getting another set of the Altamont Combats. They feel really good in my hands. And my S&Ws look like twins!

I have two sets. For a S&W round butt N-Frame, their round conversion coke bottle. For my Charter Bulldog, oversize finger groove in cherry. Both look and fit great. When the smoke clears with this corona deal and I can spend $$ again, next up is another pair for a different Charter and some of their target grips for an older 67-1 I have.

Those look more like Houges to me.

Just ordered some Altamont grips for my Charter Arms Undercover. Also ordered a set of their close out grips for my Ruger SR1911. Looking forward to getting them!!

They make nice stuff! My only complaint is they always seem to be much darker than the ones they show on their website.

Got to agree with gotboostvr in that I think the grips you have pictured, while they're great looking grips, are actually Hogue Lamo Camo grips and not Altamonts.

You're probably right.
