Anybody Else Like Elk Stag Grips?
This is my first COVID-era gun-related purchase in over 8 weeks...
That's the longest "dry spell" of not buying any gun accessories or ammo since I was a teenager... And that was a loooooooooong time ago... But I think I made up for the wait in style.  Anyway, I do like Elk Stag grips, and this set called out to me:  I think they look really sharp on my Ruger Old Army. Now I can't wait to get it over to the range and have other shooters oogle over them -- from 6 feet away, of course.  This Old Army was heavily modified many years ago with: * A handmade partridge front sight * A Millet full-blade rear sight * A Smooth trigger blade (filed away the grooves) * A trigger stop added (between trigger plunger & spring) * A 5/16" rammer extension (for target loads) * Treso Ampco Bronze nipples * An action job with 3# trigger pull The grips are the latest addition, and the only change I can think of now is to shoot it MORE! Tight groups. Old No7

Not so much on guns but I like them on trapper knives. They look really nice and natural on the Old Army.

I have a set on my Single Six. I realize they are a tiny bit too long, but I don't mind.

I have one set on a 1911, another set on a Single Six, and these on a pair of .45acp Vaqueros I picked up a few months ago.

Good for better grip; especially if your hands get wet.

If you can't afford genuine stag grips the old Jay Scott grips might work for you. I have a set waiting for my next Ruger Single-Six or Wrangler.
The only Knife I have with a stag handle is my Brusletto puukko from Norway.

All of these just look like stag to me (except those Jay Scott things), but I'm no expert. Elk is usually browner/grayer than stag. Maybe it's just lighting? But I love the look!

Those Jay Scott grips are reminiscent of the plastic stag Great Western used in the 50's.

Sorry forgot about those things. I don't have any plastic guns. But you are right, stag grips on a synthetic would be bad, and a waste of money.
