Nice plastic grips for cap and ballers

[Stantheman86]

I have no connection with or even know who the person(s) are making these grips, but for $30 on Ebay the "get a grip" seller has grips for Uberti and Pietta percussion revolvers in any color you could ever want

He seems to put a little rubber into the mix because they're grippy, not slick like other grips.

I wanted the "Ivory" look for my Dragoon without going with Corian or any of that.

In a couple hours, I was able to use a little flat file to carefully fit them to my frame and I'm probably the least handy guy on Earth.

They aren't "perfect " but for 30 bucks they look and feel great.

If you're going for the Gutta Percha period look , he has brown and dark red color. Or Black .

There's obviously nothing wrong with wood but I have so many cap and ballers, I wanted to make a few of them look a little different and still keep a "period" look. They're repros, might as well have fun with them.

It looks good in my rig, I have a set in Blood Red for my other Dragoon that has wood grips someone removed the finish on and left dry and ugly.

Those do look pretty good and would make a nice functional feature for a revolver that gets hard use. One could save the factory wood to keep those from getting scraped up if s/he wanted to keep them nice.

They're probably aimed at the CAS market, he makes them in "fake wood" color too

It would be a good choice, to pop off the woods and fit a cheap set of grippy plastic to carry in the field and knock around at the range

He apparently makes grips for every handgun that exists . I've actually bought his stuff 10+ years ago, I didn't know it was the same guy. Some of my "unmentionables" have his grips. He made a custom "bakelite" color for me .

If you search for "Colt Navy Grips" on Ebay and see colored $40 grips pop up, they're his. Just "make an offer " for $30 and he'll accept it. Or come back with like $32 or something. Really reasonable. They don't feel cheap , hollow and plasticky, they're a one piece molded copy of the wood grip made of probably polyurethane.

They will most definitely need a little fitting.

I have put his grips on both my 1860 and 1858. He can customize them for you too.
My 1860 is checkered.

I just spent 2 weeks refinishing the original wood, it just likes better than plastic.
Wood is good.

I have a pair of his white pearl grips for my .36 Brassers

The wood on Italian cap and ballers, especially Pietta seems like they're cutting up scrap wood from pallets and shaping grips out of them
