They are often used on snubbies... Narrowed at the top.

Thanks,

I would call them service stocks but I don't know if that's the correct term. Taking a second look they seem to be too wide at the bottom so maybe target stocks. I've never understood why some of the manufacturers make grips that are narrow where to fingers are longest and wide where the fingers are shortest. Then they call them target grips/stocks.confused

Obviously not a DW grip, and it looks like there is the base from a (maybe) .45 cal something. Maybe from a Single Action revolver?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Those appear not to be Dan Wesson grips. I believe those are a S&W grip. I don't know what their called but maybe somebody at the S&W forum my know.

Hello KS,

Dan Wesson made these exact style starting in very late 70s. The are shown in the back of the " innovators" catalog as grip E described as TRADITIONAL WALNUT CHECKERED. I have a couple of them for my small frame DWs. Also had this style on Smith and Wesson and Ruger Security six revolvers. The fit  the hand pretty nice. DW service grips are shorter and not curved up at the top.
