S&W Custom Stag Grips

I have a model 21 N Frame .44 spl I am interested in having a set of stag grips made for. My usual channels are coming up empty, as I have repeatedly been informed that the N frame is not popular enough to most makers to keep a template.
Any suggestions on where I might find a quality craftsman willing to take on an N frame design?

Try Patrick Grashorn grips.
I've had some for my Model 19 and they were beautiful!

I can't imagine a world where that would be true. Who told you that?

I suppose I misspoke. Most grip makers do not keep an N frame service grip template on hand. Evidently the constrution of the service style grips are very hard on the makers hands. Mr. Grashorn took on the job though; I'll post pictures of the finished product this week.

That is a beautiful rig. Very well done.

I also will throw another vote at Patrick, I got a few of his grips and they are excellent quality.
