Actually, I was asking for suggestions at what grips to get at an affordable price. I can't afford custom dinosaur bone and the like...
What sort of price range did you have in mind, and what kind of material? That is the question--I'm not sure. Under $75 if possible. I don't know what kind of material. I'm considering these: ![[Linked Image from media.mwstatic.com]](https://media.mwstatic.com/product-images/src//Primary/165/165920.jpg)

I like those myself, as well as 66's in general. 66 no dash. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/hy8vli8.jpg) 66-1 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/BFNXydl.jpg) 66-1 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Sr6ghzp.jpg) 66-2 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/G00QQpb.jpg) And for a little color (homage to the other thread). An unfired 19-3. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/XOS05HS.jpg)

Local_dirt,
Between the grips in the top pic (the no dash) and the bottom pic (the dash 2) which do you like better?

I like Ahrends as mentioned above. I also like the VZ G10 grips.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Local_dirt,

If you're asking for a selling price on the 66, they have gotten pricey-- $750 plus, at least around here. I have seen 'asking' prices at $950-$1000.

Great gun! (Great pic of it too!) I don't have a ton of experience with the Model 66, but here goes: Here's a no dash 66, pinned/recessed, that I bought at a gun show from the original owner. I saw him checking it in at the door and we struck up a conversation about the gun. It was barely used. It had the box, original paperwork, and event the factory cleaning kit, still heat sealed in the little plastic bag. My buddy saw it and announced he was buying from me. For whatever reason, I went along with it and sold it to him. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/K1bgQ9Y.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yWcuKU0.jpg) I still own this one, a 66-1 with a 2.5" barrel, sitting with a Ruger SP101. I need to put new grips on it. Anybody have any suggestions for me at a price my wife will agree to? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/q9idheK.jpg) If you're asking for a selling price on the 66, they have gotten pricey-- $750 plus, at least around here. I have seen 'asking' prices at $950-$1000. i was talking to a friend of mine locally about this just a day or so ago. as to a 66, my one and only came from a fellow employee he buying it from a member of the sun city sheriff's posse. holster, and about four boxes of ammo, 150bucks. also had an action job on it. long time ago, finally got around to replacing those rubber grips.
