DIY Revolver Grips

[Randy M]

These are probably the 3^rd or 4^th set of grips I’ve made over the years and I’ve said this each time…grip makers are worth every nickel they charge and I should probably stick to leather work.

Anyway, these started out as ‘natural colored’ micarta. Once they were done I didn’t really like the color so I tried staining them a dark brown. I didn’t like that either so I took acetone in an attempt to remove all the stain and they turned into some brownish/olive swirl. Now they are a cross between butt-ugly and kind-of cool looking. Think I’ll run by Woodcraft today and see if I can find something there to try again. Regardless, these are functional…

I tried making my own revolver grips once, they didnt turn out near as nice as yours.

Thanks y’all. I made a second set this past weekend out of walnut.

When I was in high school, we had an Outdoor Ed class that we could take for an elective. Our teacher had a catalog that we could order a black powder revolver kit from. It came with a set of rough grips, but I didn't like them and cut out some of my own. I'm gonna retire in about 2-1/2 years and finally get to finishing that thing. 🤣

Those are both great. Walnut ones contrast is perfect
