Anybody Else Like Elk Stag Grips?

[Old No7]

This is my first COVID-era gun-related purchase in over 8 weeks...
That's the longest "dry spell" of not buying any gun accessories or ammo since I was a teenager...
And that was a loooooooooong time ago...

But I think I made up for the wait in style.

Anyway, I do like Elk Stag grips, and this set called out to me:

I think they look really sharp on my Ruger Old Army. Now I can't wait to get it over to the range and have other shooters oogle over them -- from 6 feet away, of course.

This Old Army was heavily modified many years ago with:
* A handmade partridge front sight
* A Millet full-blade rear sight
* A Smooth trigger blade (filed away the grooves)
* A trigger stop added (between trigger plunger & spring)
* A 5/16" rammer extension (for target loads)
* Treso Ampco Bronze nipples
* An action job with 3# trigger pull

The grips are the latest addition, and the only change I can think of now is to shoot it MORE!

Tight groups.

Not so much on guns but I like them on trapper knives. They look really nice and natural on the Old Army.

I like stag too

Submitted for your stag grip viewing pleasure.

I like stag but mine are imitation just like the revolver.

I like stag on knives and all pistols.

Especially knives:

Elk is beautiful, as is ram.

That looks more like sambar stag than elk stag. I prefer sambar.

I have a set on my Single Six. I realize they are a tiny bit too long, but I don't mind.

 

[Jbar4Ranch]

I have one set on a 1911, another set on a Single Six, and these on a pair of .45acp Vaqueros I picked up a few months ago.

Works of art !!!

Absolutely and stag grips on anything, really look great. Just plain bone and dried blood, that mother-nature turned into a work of art. I make antler tip nipple-picks as well as crown buttons. .....

Be Safe !!!

Elk is great, ram is even better.

Good for better grip; especially if your hands get wet.

If you can't afford genuine stag grips the old Jay Scott grips might work for you. I have a set waiting for my next Ruger Single-Six or Wrangler.

The only Knife I have with a stag handle is my Brusletto puukko from Norway.

My second favorite, following ivory

All of these just look like stag to me (except those Jay Scott things), but I'm no expert. Elk is usually browner/grayer than stag. Maybe it's just lighting? But I love the look!

What's in a name ??? !!!!

All of these just look like stag to me (except those Jay Scott things),

Stag has been used pretty much as a generic name, Just like everyone has a "Skillsaw" even though some are made by B&D or Craftsman. Awhile back some ne posted a picture of a revolver with stag grips even though they were made from the shovel section of a Bull Moose. ......

Be Safe !!!

Those Jay Scott grips are reminiscent of the plastic stag Great Western used in the 50's.

Does anything look bad with stag grips?

 

[Pahoo]

Not the grips fault !!!

Does anything look bad with stag grips?

Glocks and most "other" plastic guns. ......

Be Safe !!!

 

[Deltadart]

Sorry forgot about those things. I don't have any plastic guns. But you are right, stag grips on a synthetic would be bad, and a waste of money.
