Some guy in Thailand makes nice grips and sells them on Ebay. They look and feel very proper on a pretty 5". ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/V6mC7MNW/AAAAA.jpg)

Nice. I have bought a couple from a Thai seller on Ebay and was well pleased.

How's the fit? I hear mixed reviews on the fit. They look perfect on the outside,

Bristoe: Good for you - great looking revolver there!
If you don't mind what price range are those grips.
TIA

Bristoe: Thank you for the comeback and the information - I am headed for "E-Bay" now to learn that site and look them up.
Thanks again.

It's a tough call, but my 1962 vintage boot gripped 4" standard barrel round butt Model 10 might be my favorite revolver. Its simple elegance appeals to my minimalistic nature and it doesn't hurt that it shoots to point of aim with my warm handloads. Its thin barrel and abbreviated, yet ergonomic grips makes it feel very diminutive for a revolver capable of launching 158s at close to 1000 fps. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/C5NChYT1/rbsb.jpg)

EdM: Thank you for that link - I have a very nice new to me early S&W Model 686 with the square butt that got "Pachmyered" and I am VERY tempted to try a pair of these good looking Thai grips!
I did not see a phone number anywhere did you just send off your monies on trust?
Thanks again - the prices of original S&W L frame grips is just about prohibitive these days.
