I am going to buy a revolver so I will have a reason to get some “neytiwood” grips. 😀 Those grips are awesome.

Model 64-4 2" with Birdseye maple Spegels:
10 yard target with Federal 158 grain +P LSWCHP, 1.0" center to center:
It shot several different loads right to the sights. Very pleased with this one.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Lohman in Houston. Start there.Originally Posted by OlongJohnson
I just visited Ahrends website and learned he closed his business earlier this year.
Yuip, and the aftermarket price has basically doubled since then.
One of my friends went there for a simple job, as he happened to know an extended family member of Mr. Lohman, and that guy is a good guy.
Timing, quality, service and price were all terrible. Machining was both lazy and poorly done. It took far longer than originally committed to finish the simple task. Details specifically discussed ahead of time were completed only reluctantly when their omission was objected to. And the price was ~triple what other respected shops charge. At those prices, it should have been flawless, rather than disappointing in every way.

Not another dime.
I saw a set of CZ grips made by some guy in Corpus. They were beautiful and high dollar. His name was Henry Vance. I wrote it down but never inquired. I think there are talented people who can make nice grips at a sensible fee. Finding them is the key. You have to ask and keep asking. If I were paying big money for grips, I would go ahead and pay the maker to fit them. Paying more for the grips than you paid for the gun has never been within my ability. I know a guy to whom famous European gun makers sent guns to be stocked or repaired. He owned stock blanks that cost $2-3 1000.
