I've been wondering the same thing. Glad you brought it up.

I picked these up in the classifieds like new at a great price. Made by SK Grips. No problem shooting them they are not rough on the hand but give you something to grip.

These are exceptionally nice set.. Exactly what I think of when I think a good pair of stag grips.. Plenty of grain for a good grip and the extra color really adds a depth and richness to the whole tone and reason for stag grips imo.. I see no reason for horn or bone grips if they are not detailed as nicely as these.. Not all sets come out with as much detail, but this is what I'd want.

 

Was thinking of putting a pair on my SA Milspec...

 

Grippy, I like em.

 

They look great....I just didnt like shooting the gun with them on...

"It just didn't feel right."

 

could you explain a bit more? Prefer smooth?

 

They are very handsome grips, I like Stag.

 

Once upon a time I truly disliked stag and ivory and similar grips.

Then, along came “Longmire,” and I got hooked haha.

Granted, I do want frontstrap checkering or at least some grippy tape on an otherwise smooth frontstrap when carrying /shooting a 1911 equipped with them.

 

The holster doesn’t look quite so new now, but the pic shows the flip-side of the stags from the post above...

 

I know it’s not a Colt like Walt’s...nonetheless, my attempt at Longmire-ishness haha...

 

I wouldn’t use them for long sessions but I get a decent purchase on them especially with front strap checkering

 

I have a set of stag on my Remington R1 my wife got them for me from out of Texas. I know that they aren’t on a Colt Commander like Walts. But they look just like his. I would post a picture, if I could figure out how. I’m OLD and this new fangled equipment is too much for me. I can barely turn this dam thing on.

 

For some reason I like stags on my S&W revolvers but on a 1911 I just didn't like the feel-perhaps I just got a set that weren't shaped right for my hands. Almost felt too thick and couldn't get as good a grip as full checkered wood grips give me. Sure do like the way they look however lol.

 

I tried them in a standard size, but they weren't a good fit for me. I was able to get some slims and I like them a lot.

 

If you don't mind me asking, who makes slim stags?

 

I have some and I like them. But it’s mainly for the cool factor. Lots of grips out there that are more grippy. But I like a nice set of grips on a 1911 or a SAA. A classy firearm needs some classy grips.

Revival thread...Who makes the best stag grips today? Can I get thinner ones? Don't have to be slim bushing thin, just VZ normal grip thin would be great.

 

Grashorn is well thought of but I can't comment on their thickness.

 

I like stag, period.

 

What a gorgeous photo! Love stag too, need to get some on a 1911 I think!

I don't recall his name, but I will check for you.
He also sells holsters and such on Etsy.

 

I got them from: Leather Gun Holsters | Wylie Leather.
Too bad SK is not also available.

 

Realize that Indian Sambar Stag is made of unobtanium these days, and priced accordingly. Elk stag is what 95% of stag grips are made from today. Contrary to what some say, elk stag is not inferior in quality to sambar stag. Below are links to two well-known, reputable elk stag grip makers:

Sack Peterson

Paul Persinger

 

I didn't think Persinger made natural grips anymore. I have a bunch of stag grips on my revolvers, but none on any 1911's. Thin is better for me, and most of them seem to be a bit too rounded.

 

Hi Addicts this is my first post so forgive me if i foul it up.i like wood and bone for grips old school and simple.i added staghorn grips to my Dan Wesson and they look great. they are debarked so no ridges and look more like bone. grips are from Terry Fant in Texas.

 

I too love the Longmire look. But I think selection with the right amount of bark is everything. I no longer have these. They were beautiful but for range sessions just too smooth without the front strap treatment. Unfortunately for me I think I'd have to have them in hand to feel before I would buy another pair.

 

I’ve understand the cool factor, but a Tyler T helps with recoil induced grip with 357mag, and the bark helps with 45acp recoil (plus a strip of rubberized front strap texture). Someday, the Colt will get a proper checkering in 25lpi, and a re-blue.

 

 

I bought a beat up mixmaster 1911 at the yearly Sheriff's auction a few years ago that had stag grips on it that were really thick and uncomfortable although they looked great. I wound up selling the grips on ebay and I've regretted it since.

The only stags I have now are on a Smith model 66 (with a T-grip) and I really like them. Enough so that I'll probably pick up another pair of Stags for my Commander if I come across a decent deal some day.

Some nice looking pistols in this thread.

 

I'm not OVERLY partial to stags on 1911s, but sometimes, with the right pair, they work well, and look terrific. (IMO)
