Amboyna Burl
Amboyna Burl
What kind of grips did cowboys use?
I've now decided that I will get some amboyna burl grips off this website:
http://www.klamathriverwoodworks.com/wst_page2.php?idx=2&file=images/New_Grips_00003.jpg&&ID2=fCDPAq
Those are the exact grips I want. The problem is, I want the grips to be true to the cowboy theme of the revolver. I can either have the grips with a flat cut bottom like the old colts, or I can have a KRW gunfighter style (Flat cut bottom is obviously flat cut and KRW gunfighter style has slants at the bottom of the grips going outward.) It's all in the description below the picture in the link to the website. Tell me which one says cowboy to you? KRW or Flat cut? I know it may have sounded like I wanted opinions, but I would much rather have historical data of which style grips the cowboys really used.
I think flat cut like the old colts is what the old time cowboys would use, mainly because custom gunsmiths were rare to non-existent and you bought what the factory made.
I kind of like the amboyna burl grips, too.
I have an 1858 Remington and its grips are flat cut.
