Taurus wood grips from Thailand

[Swifty Boy]

I took a chance ordering some hardwood grips for my .357 Taurus LBR from an eBay seller called 7-24-store. There are other sellers from Thailand who sell very similar grips though and they offer lots of different styles. The grips cost £27 including shipping, which took about a week. They look like this fitted:




I wasn't sure how good these would be given the price but I am very pleased with what I received. The grips required a bit of modification as I had to file a hole for the 'coat-hanger' rod and file down a couple of high spots to get them to close up tightly. It's nothing too technical and well worth the effort given the low price of the grips.

I'd order again from this seller with no hesitation. The wood is nice quality and the grips feel good in the hand. Very ergonomic and a bit fatter than the rubber grips which come as standard on the gun.

Very nice indeed - going on e-bay now to see if I can find a set for my .44

If you get some you will need medium/large frame square butt - there are lots of styles to choose from. I used a rounded file to make the hole in the back of the grips by taking a little off at a time and checking the fit periodically.
