Altamont - S&W K and L Round Revolver Grip - Altai Round Butt to Square Butt Conversion Grip - Real Wood Gun Grips fit S&W K & L Frame Round Butt Revolvers - Made in USA

Grips are nicely finished rosewood. Finish does look more pinkish than red in the lighter parts of the wood, but that would be expected with the variance of wood grain. The grips fit the grip frame area nicely. Could have been blended better where the grip frame meets the rest of the frame. This results in the back corners protruding slightly. Functionally, this should have little to no impact on the shoot-ability of the revolver. Overall, these are nice grips for the price.

You just about can’t beat altamont grips. Always a perfect fit and top quality finish

The grip is beautiful and very well made.I think it's lacquered and polished, so I found the upper part of this grip a bit slipperyIf you prefer aesthetics - this grip may work perfect for youPersonally I have returned it and kept the ugly standard rubber grip because it's grips better in my hand

I purchased a used Smith and Wesson 15-7 which came with heavily worn rubber grips, and I really wanted to upgrade not only the appearance, but also the weird, sticky feel of the rubber grips. I was guided to Altamont by a local gun store owner and I am very pleased with my decision. Unlike some cheaper brands, these include two steel pins that aid in keeping the grips aligned with each other while the machined cutout for the round butt frame fits perfectly. The detailing in the engraving and checkering is superb and the finish is the perfect balance between polished wood without looking like it's encased in clearcoat. The feel in the hand is fantastic and adds just enough heft to the grip to help balance the pistol whereas the rubber grips I had were so light that the barrel drooped if I held the gun up for more than a few seconds. Granted, that is a problem more with me than the gun and is alleviated with practice, but these Altamont grips will certainly make practicing a whole lot more enjoyable, to say nothing about the stunning appearance. As for shooting, the recoil is indeed more pronounced in the padded space below the thumb where the most force is exerted back compared to the rubber grips, but it isn't nearly as bad as it is with revolvers with skinnier grips. These add just enough thickness without being fat to fill the hand and spread the force of recoil out. In all, I find it comfortable enough to shoot a hundred rounds in an hour without any kind of lingering discomfort. Money well spent (and less than comparable grips from Hogue!), and I anticipate these grips will do well on this gun for many years to come. I absolutely would recommend to a friend.

I was disappointed when I open the package of these supposedly new grips. The stippling is not uniform on both sides as can be seen in my photos. They look to me like they are seconds and they are not being sold as such. I have bought grips directly from Altmont in the pass and have been very satisfied. They make good grips but buying them on Amazon looks like a mistake. They should say they are seconds!

The Altamont revolver grip was nice. It fit properly without modification, as an Industrial Engineer myself I can appreciate the workmenship. The wood was of good quality, the finish was good you can feel the sharp cuts in the crosshatched area. The angle of the grip from the barrel is closer to 90 degrees than the origional rubber grip and I don't have the tendency to shoot alittle high anymore. The only thing I would do differently is I would provide everybody a rubber plug that looks like the screw head on the other side so the gun would look the same on both sides but that's minor. It would probably cost less than a penny per unit. They don't waste money on packaging it came in a bubble wrap packet but hay, it wasn't damaged. Reading about the company I discovered they are working out of the old BX at the closed Chanute AFB, having been stationed there myself many years ago I always liked the people in Rantoul Ill. Knowing that they are providing employment to American workers that lost their military base due to BRAC, I would be inclined to purchase more items from Altamont. Nice work Altamont, now let's see how it holds up to wear and tear.

Super pleased with these grips. Same type of wood material as the original wood grips but not boot length. I can now get a full grip on the gun without losing the quality and beauty of the stock grips the came with my SW 586 L-comp.

Ohh man how I love these grips! I have a S&W 686 talo ed with 3" barrel. The Talo grips were not a good fit for my hand and I tried other grip styles. Was thinking about selling or trading the gun. THEN, I found these grips. They fit the round butt but are squared off and thin making the gun feel like it was made for my hand. NOW, I will never sell this gun. Thanks Altamont grips!!
