Pic#1 is my new new Speed Grip in cocobolo wood with a satin tung oil finish. (now I'm looking for 1.5" ss barrel and shroud for carrying)

Pic#2 is the LB Gripper in gloss Zebra wood I bought a few months ago.

Pic#3 is the Pachy gripper it came with.

LB is an artist!

Also note the EWK fiber optic front sight. BIG difference with my tired old eyes

I never realized how much lower the back of the grip is on the Speed Grip is on the revolver.

You probably also mean a 2 1/2" BA, 1 1/2" is only available in a rare metal known as "unobtanium"

2 1/2" would fit very nicely on that as a carry piece

Happy Birthday

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Yep, you are 2.5". The speed Grip is quite a bit lower. I wanted it specifically with carry in mind. I thought it would be a little cramped on my hand. I was wrong. While no where as roomy and comfy as the Gripper it is an amazingly good fit for moderate to large hand.

Now I get why girls like dolls. I keep going, "how would you like to wear the nice Speed Grip for awhile Dan, or may the Gripper, or maybe that old nasty rubber one?"lol2

Thanks again Steve, and thanks to LB for the great craftsmanship and quick turnaround. worship

Well lookke what showed up in the mail today. My brother sent me the 2.5" barrel and shroud to complete the rig. With that barrel and that grip, the balance is perfect. I may have to got to the range tomorrow....

 

Now I feel all Jack Webb like..... Just the facts Ma'am.

To be perfectly clear on this, the Car Genie is a subsidiary of Genie LTD. There may be more Genie opportunities here, but I have no control over the Genie(s) actually delivering anything.

Those are great looking grips. I cherish the ones L.B. made for me. There is nothing like something that is handmade from an artist.
