carry my 642 with a Tyler-T.

Scott Kolar flame burl mesquite.

On the S&W I prefer a Craig Spiegel boot grip in rosewood.
You won't need the Tyler though.

Then have Rob stitch up a mermaid hide holster

Sounds like a net find Murphy. See you at CSA hopefully.

This one now wears black ebony RB...but I don't seem to have a recent picture. Shown is Eagle rosewood.

These are some old Jay Scott zebra wood panels after some fit 'n finish.

I expect some buff'ler horn would look real snazzy as well.

Sounds like a dandy!

...seen here on a stainless Virginian Dragoon. These are by Eagle.

is for the birds. Walnut looks good to me!

If'n I had a model 60 I think the cool setup would be the polished Tyler with a set of black Barami Hip-Grips, and have someone who is good at it cut some nice checkering on the right-side panel only, leaving the left one smooth. That solves the only problem I've found with Baramis - they are plain looking and kinda slick if your hands are sweaty. Checkering the right side gives a better grip, but the smooth left panel don't scrape yer tender hide when carried close.

I found the Hip-Grip to be real handy back when I carried a Model 36 sneaky-style.

I have a 2.5" 66 with Sambar Stags and a polished Aluminum T grip. I think it is a great combination. I had some pictures online but lost them.

for wooden stocks. I prefer darker grips on stainless and nickel pistols. Just a quirk of mine. But I wouldn't look down my nose at something fancy.

Horn looks good. I've had mixed luck with elk. BJ Snow works in giraffe bone, too, with great skill.

I like the contrast.

On a blued gun I like medium woods or something light like ivory micarta
