3 more with Holly grips.
« on: January 07, 2022, 01:05:00 PM »
Three more pistols have Holly grips now.  Decided the Stainless Navies needed a new look. This makes 12 that I've had done by Spider John now.

They're made by a fellow in Arkansas name of Spider John (Bill Murrell).  They go for $125.00 a set plus shipping.  His email is murrell4_1999@yahoo.com.  Truthfully, i have no idea if they're one piece or not. The first set I bought from him was about 15 years ago.

I'm going to redo the picture. They camera makes them way more yellow than they really are.

I've changed the picture.  Original pic was too yellow.  Replacement photo is correct color of grips now.

Dave, I removed the barrel and cylinder sent him the complete frame assy.  Smaller box, less shipping.

Those are beautiful!! WOW. So did you fit them yourself? and do they get sweaty when shooting ? I got to replace grips on my Remi they were alittle big and I got over zealous with the sandpaper now there too small LOL trying to make my own but with that round top on the grips it ain't easy.

I didn't fit them.  I sent the frames to Bill Murrell & he did alll the work on them.

I've been shooting holly gripped pistols for over 15 years and never had one slip outta my hand yet.
