I would like to get some stag grips for my Ruger single six. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking Eagle Grips, but they are pricey. It would be nice if anyone has photos of some they have bought.

I bought the Faux stag grips with the Texas star added for my Vaqueros from http://www.ajaxgrips.com/. I am very happy with them, the fit and finish were good. They have been on the guns for a couple years now with no problems. Real stag is a little pricey but the faux ones do look nice, not as nice as real stag but nice none the less.
Grips
You mite try the executioner up in Colorado. I strongly recommend him and he can set you up with Elk Stag for about $130 a set.
If your interested, email me and I will give you his info

Real stag will be pricey no matter what. Elk is less - as mentioned.
The Best stag comes from India and is called Sambar stag, and it is very expensive. India has an embargo on it I think.

Executioner's Elk Stags
They are pretty and not too expensive when compared to some other type grips. Don't have any SAA grips but, I do have a set of Executioner's Elk Stags, on an N frame S&W.
Patrick will work with customers on the amount of "bark" desired and the thickness of the grips themselves.
Well worth it!

I had no idea.It's still fairly common on pocket knives. If you've ever seen a Case stag handled pocket knife, that's Sambar.
I have several knives with Sambar stag and several with other types of stag, and Sambar is noticeably much nicer material. I haven't looked at elk stag though.
Patrick's Elk Stag look nice. I've been wanting a pair of Stag grips for my 1911, but they're so expensive. $300 is waaay too much IMO.
I may go the Elk route.

I guess I should clarify what I am wanting to do. I have a nice charles may bird & trout knife with sambar stag that I want matching grips for my stainless single six. I just called Eagle grips and was shocked that they run from 300-500 dollars depending on the grade. I was hoping there were other options that may be less expensive.
Nice... grin. Thanks for the pictures!
We have some elk horns here that need to be put to use.
I love the look of stag and other grips on firearms and on knives.

Very, very nice. As much as I like Stag on nickel/stainless... I *really* like it on blue. It brings out the ivory color. Wow. Thanks for sharing

.38 Super?
Some nice lookin' guns there Cocked & Locked.
Is that Nickel or Chrome on the .38 Super 1911? That one sure makes a statement.
I've liked the Stags ever since my Mattel Shootin' Shell Fanner.

Both of the guns are .38 Supers with original factory finishes.
This one is a nickel Springfield Armory .38 Super
And this one is a polished hardchrome Rock Island Armory .38 Super
same gun, different pic with Buffalo horn grips
I have a question for those that have stag grips on a revolver of .38 caliber or larger. Doesn't the bark on the grips tend to be too abrasive on your hands when shooting? I recently bought elk stag grips for my .22 caliber S&W model 63, figuring the low recoil will not pose an abrasion hazard. On a semi-auto there also should not be much of a problem. But on a .357 snub???
Man, this thread is painful. #1 I love stag's, they're expensive, and I love stag's... #2 I love 1911's and this thread reminds me I have no polished 38 super. So far I've resisted the Super 38, because brass costs a pretty penny and no one shoots it around here... But I can't resist forever...
I have to say, those Buffalo horn grips sure are nice, as well.
C&L, have you ever carried a bright-polished 1911? I know they scratch easily, but wouldn't a little flitz put it back in order, right quick? I carry my S&W M27 in nickel sometimes, which is also very easy to scratch, but I find if I keep it waxed up with some Carnauba wax, a little flitz will take care of any scratches very easily.
