H-D · 02-28-2012, 10:22 AM

Got a piece of cocobolo that I am going to make some grips for it, these wrap arounds feel good though

gdmoody · 02-28-2012, 03:42 PM

How long did it take you from the time the piece arrived till you had it completely finished?

Double D · 02-28-2012, 04:00 PM

Now it will look like mine. It really helps with "imprinting" and snags.

gdmoody · 02-28-2012, 04:54 PM

I really like that Smith, Dan. Silly question, what is that you have it propped up on?

H-D · 02-28-2012, 05:10 PM

I did it in about 90 minutes
That is a fine smith and wesson! I love those grips
looks like a cleaning brush in a tube,

Helix_FR · 02-28-2012, 07:53 PM

H-D · 02-28-2012, 07:55 PM

Changed the grip medallions and got my new Mk4 Series70 slide in today!!
the Colt slide fits better than the Brazilian military slide did and I love the MMC sights!
