Just received my FA97 back from Paul Persinger. He custom-fit a set of stabilized bighorn sheep scales out of my stash and I think the results are very nice. I particularly like the dark and light contrast found in bighorn compared with dall sheep horn.

Agreed, beautiful and interesting color variations. Nice look.

Revolver is just alright.... 😁

Looks like fun!

I know nothing about pistols or sheep horns! But that is beautiful!

Sweet! Congrats....

Very nice. I have knife handles with that.

Stunning grips.

Beautiful.

Really makes that 97 stand out from the crowd....

Beautiful!!

Wow Very Nice!

Nice! Question, can they be checkered?

Those look incredible.

Beautiful grips. Dall and Bighorn grips are truly beautiful.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous

Rgrx, yes, especially if they are stabilized like my stash of slabs.

Sure would like a set for my 1911.... Where would I go to get them?

Too cool. Thanks for sharing

Those look great, Paul is a master for sure. I have a grip frame with a set of Persinger Dall sheep stocks on it for an FA83. It’s beautiful but I don’t have an 83!

Paul does great work. I don't have any of his horn grips but I do have some of his carved ivory that I consider heirloom. TheKid, you need to sell me those grips and grip frame for the model 83 and I'll stick them on one of my 41s!

Great looking grips on a classy revolver!

Beautiful grips and gun -- love the M97, short octagon barrel, and especially the grips.

knarly!

Wowza!! You should send chunk to Gene Ingram to use for a matching set!!

Beautiful!!!!!!

WOW !!!

Ohhh...

To have a "stash" of Bighorn horns...

Mighty nice JH...

I like them.

Very nice grips!!!

Checkering horn is a breeze both because it is relatively soft and smooth. Also, the checkering should be a bit larger than normal or you risk losing diamonds in use. So it checkers faster.

That pistol is simply stunning! Its got me thinking about sending my 97 back to Wyoming for barrel surgery. Of course the grips are the perfect embellishment!

Those are absolutely amazing

Wow, stunning, very nice looking pistol!

Those are the best looking single action grips I've ever seen!

Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

Beautifully crafted grips sir.
