Well, turning 50 grants you lots of fun things, like early morning doctor appointments and waiting around for prescriptions.
Turns out, the Hogue Pro Shop is a great place to hang out.
I tried-on several grips and ordered a custom set. N Frame cocobolo "big butt" conversion grips. The "butt" will look like ebony (it's actually linen) and it will have a maple transition stripe. Very sexy.
I should get in time for Meet in the Middle.
The Hogue shop does some great custom work. One customer put a real scorpion in his grip and another put a fully "loaded" speedloader in his grip butt...both resin jobs that reminded me of bowling balls.
They also do custom laser-etching on anything.

17Never mind, I just found out , a S&W 617. I have a growing interest in wheel guns lately.
Re: I like big grips...I cannot lie
19Oh very different from the 617! I've been wanting a 686 lately. Is this the same thing with a larger 8 shots instead of 6?
Re: I like big grips...I cannot lie
21Wow. I should drive up there tomorrow morning. I’ve been wanting a new grip for my Redhawk for years
