Inexpensive Shooter
Found this one in a pawn shop. It's a .357. I'm probably going to try to find some original grips for it, but these are growin' on me.

Re: Inexpensive Shooter
The grips(stocks?-just saying, I have been chastized on another forum for saying grips) look cool to me I like them. And I don't get all the fuss about the nomenclature. God Bless

By the way, that's a good looking firearm. Do you know the date of manufacture?

Re: Inexpensive Shooter
Nice Gun (er) Weapon, I like the stocks (er) grips. How many Clips (er) Mags did U get with it. Whatever that is one to be proud of. Is that an Old Homestead or Hickory Knife ? I just picked up one similar to it.

Re: Inexpensive Shooter
Swampman,
That's a sweet shooter for sure. The grips and knife handles look like a matched set. I've seen grips that are far worse so if they fit decent and work why not leave 'em?
Next time the subject of grips come up on the other forum call 'em: "grippy stock handles" and watch 'em go nuts over that.

Stocks on long guns, grips on hand guns; or "furniture" on either! Only AnallyRetentive folks would argue over such is all I can say!

Re: Inexpensive Shooter
The knife is an Old Hickory from a junk shop. I buy them if they are $5.00 or less.
