Does anyone have a lead on pink grips for a S&W square butt K frame? I need some to match my pink shoes......... NO!!.......For my daughter-in-law's 38 Special S&W K frame Square butt revolver.

I searched the net to no avail. Lots of round butt and "J" frame ones but none like I need. I may have to visit a gun show as they always seem to have lots of gun accessories.

I remember my gun-pusher taking a hot-pink highliter to the fake pearl grips on a Taurus 22 auto. They came out a nice shade of pink. You might have to touch 'em up occasionally, but it works.

Or maybe find the white plastic "fake ivory" ones (I'm sure they are out there) and paint 'em with model airplane paint. That's designed to stick to plastic.

There is also these. They are the older style. Pre-magna. But they are available, and come in two different shades of pink. Hot Pink and Pretty In Pink.

Then there are these folks. Again, it is the pre-war style.

They also have two shades of pink.

And if all else fails, just hit up Highboy...he may have some spare pink grips laying around.










Y'all knew this was going to happen sooner or later in this thread, didn't you?

How about some custom wood grips made of Pink Ivory? It can be had from exotic wood sources, but you might have to hunt around a bit.

Here's some pics of it:

More pics here: http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/pink ivory.htm

And you can find suppliers here: http://woodfinder.com/

And if you can't find it, you can dye a light wood such as maple using Transtint dyes: http://www.homesteadfinishingproducts.com/htdocs/TransTint.htm

Just some options to consider.

Alpo, thanks, I hadn't been on the Vintage Grips site for quite a while, but Lo and Behold, smooth walnut Ortgies grips. They are now on order.( for the . )

Ron, where? All I see is plastic. Both for 25 and for 32. I got two Ortgies, and one of 'em got no grips. I'd sure like to have some wood grips for it.

On the left menu where it reads Wood and Micarta. They list the .25, don't know abut the .32. Yep, just checked, they list the smooth walnut for the .32

Cool. Thanks.
