There was a thread awhile ago about grips by Fuzzy Farrant. I know he passed quite a few years ago. His grips were probably the best around-they had beautiful wood, fine checkering, palm swells open backstrap except for a recoil shoulder at the top. They are the most naturally pointing grips for a revolver I have ever used. And the best part, for me at least, is they were hand made.
I recently aquired 3 NOS sets of his grips and thought to share them with you guys not old enough to have seen them.
1. Fits a SW J frame RB or SB now on my SW 637
2. Fits a SW K frame SB now on my SW 66 with an early 6 1/8" bbl.
3. Fits Colt I frame now on my Colt Python with Armoly hard chrome finish,Elliason sights, and 4" bbl. Note that most Farrant grips for Pythons required grinding off the frame at the lower forward position. The ones in the pic. DO NOT require this mod. These are extremely rare. Enjoy a piece of history. bruce
