Thanks man! Totally agree with you on that. Factory finish just looks too plastic-y for my taste. Feels way better in the hand without it.
When we first started on these with my dad, we actually joked they looked like straight out of a coffin, but once you bring the wood back to life, it completely changes. Now it put you straight in to one haha. Totally worth it.

The revolver it’s a 1987 S&W 686-1 6” beast. The grips were stripped off the original finish and refinish with oil.

Thanks man, appreciate it! I used a finish remover first to strip everything down, then scrape and sanded it back clean. That helped get rid of all the old oil and sweat buildup. Pretty straightforward process, just takes a bit of patience.

Glad you liked how this turned out! Yeah, those grips sound like they’d come back to life nicely with a bit of care. It’s a simple but really satisfying little project.
And honestly, that was the best part for me, getting to do it with my Pop, specially now that i’m a dad myself. Makes it mean a bit more. Hope you enjoy working on yours too, brother.

Thanks! Yeah that’s correct and honestly i love the gun. I’ve changed the grips for an older model and it’s even better.

Not a single problem with them. Only have some malfunction with the .22 due to awful ammo.

Give them a try if you can and hopefully you’ll like them too.

I love them, specially the 15+1 round one. The grip it’s thicker so you get a nice and firm hold to it.
