    Default custom grips

    I need to find someone who can do custom grip works for a S&W 44 magnum model 29-3. I want to get a drawing carved or printed onto grips. I was trying to find tommy 2 feathers but I don't think his website exists anymore. And all the other grips with graphics online were for 1911's. Can someone send me in the right direction

    Although they mostly had 1911s on their website, email photon engraving.
    I suspect as long as they can find a blank for you firearm, they can lasers grave it.

    I'll tag along on this thread.

    I saw some "raw" grip blanks at the last gun show that would have been amazing on my 1911, but the vendor only sells the blanks - doesn't finish them.

    They were supposedly "mammoth bone" and were artificially colored shades of blue that would have looked awesome on my polished nickel gun.
    I'd have considered getting them even at the cost of $90 because they would be unique, but I have no idea who, or where to turn to to have them made into grips.

    These are the 2 guys I'm working with right now. But the engraver says he needs the bark off to do it right. But i want a little bark. The grip guy says he can polish the center out for engraving but may leave a low spot in the grip. And I don't want the gun to feel to awkward

    Thanks. Having just been hit with a twelve hundred dollar vet bill this evening, I won't be exploring this idea for a while.

    I'll try to keep it in mind though for the future.
