Hello. I was recently able to acquire some long discontinued Fitz "Gunfighter" grips. I put a set on my S&W Model 24 and liked them so much, I bought two more sets.

I find these grips to be the most comfortable I've ever used on N-frames. I intend to keep this Model 58, but if it goes, the grips stay.

Very similar in appearance to the ones on the M58, these are going to remain with this old Model 28.

These grips sort of resemble some of the old Herrett grips, but the contours are different. They were all exceptionally tight and required a bit of fitting, but I'd rather have to do a bit of work fitting than to have them loose.

"Feel" is subjective, but these ARE the grips I've been looking for for years. To me they keep the S&W "look" and they are without question the most comfortable N-frame grips I've tried.

The set on my 6 1/2" Model 24 are blondish in color and set off the gun in my admittedly prejudiced view. Didn't get to photograph them today, but plan to in the future.

Best.
 
I've quit buying wood grips for my revolvers. The N-frame Smith Magna grips that came on the M28 fit me. No other ones seem to.

Except for the M28, all my revolvers have black rubber grips installed.

Those are the kind of wooden grips I still think about buying.
