doc540 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Jim Badger custom grips, bobbed and checkered hammer Works for my purposes, but YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc540 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks...here's a different look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Is that the original finish? Looks really nice. I've had an itch for a similar Detective Special for a while now...just a neat little gun. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 WOW! Now that's really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc540 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 WOW! Now that's really nice. Thanks yes, that's the original finish in blue The frame's aluminum and the barrel and cylinder are steel so the camera makes them look a little different. In reality, the whole gun's the same shade of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rusert Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nice heater. I heartily approve of your choice of carry loads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelshooter3 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Doc, Absolutely love the grips. Tell me about them. I have not heard of Jim Badger. What type of wood, what is his turn around time, and if you don't mind me asking the price? Does he have a website? Do the grips extend below the bottom of the frame? I have used a lot of Craig Spiegel grips on my snubbies and his are flush with the bottom. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear23 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Very Nice! What was done to it and how much moola? I'm a sucker for snubbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are rosewood, but he also has silver black. He should have some in stock for $69.95 plus a few bucks shipping. They slightly cover the bottom of the frame, but he'll shave them as thin as you want. This is his standard cut: Here's a set of silver blacks that he cut ultra thin for me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcelr8n Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Those grips make a great gun even better. It's nice to have something unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelshooter3 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks for the info. I will check him out. It looks from your initial pictures that he has the grips well relieved for speedloader use. Have run into a problem with some grips because they weren't and had subsequent hang-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what he did on that rosewood set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 A handful of various Colt 38's up on SummitGunBroker right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryriver Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Pretty guns are nice. Ugly ones are better for me so's I don't spend time worrying about them. Those are Eagle Secret Service rosewoods (love my lumber) modified to better clear K Comp loaders, and that's a Mika Pocket holster underneath.
