Where to find walnut/rosewood S&W N-frame grips?

Look at the pics first!

I'm after only those kinda looking grips!

They're sold out everywhere. Only decent looking grips available is Altamont grips, but they're made out of plywood. I want them hardwood; light walnut/rosewood/tigerwood with visible woodgrain, S&W emblem and engravings.

Might want to consider Kingwood or Goncalo Alves; there's quite a bit of overlap between those and the photos you posted.

Walnut is often very plain and without any noticeable grain.

Try Hogue and their hardwood grips.

They were the only place I could find S&W target style grips for round butt grip frames. They have lots of positive feedback. They only take about 2 weeks to get delivered.

I got some 1911 grips from walnut, made in Turkey, that were
quite good, not as good as Nill or Rink, but 1/3 the price. Ebay
