So, this is the other project I've been working on.
First stage is using up some left over laminate......

 Can you guess what it is yet? There will be a bit of a twist on this at the end. |

What cal? 357 Mag?
Oh I like a good twist.
I've always been tempted by one in 44 mag with the barrel cut to 4-6" and a permanently attached, heavily lightened, aluminium barrel extension installed to bring the weight back a little and meet minimum length.
But it'll not happen.

Yeah, .357 but I use 38 brass because it ejects more reliably.
Still a bit to do on the grips but that is the rough shape. At the moment they are enormous, something for hellboy to be proud of.
I replaced the backstrap with just a plain steel bar. Makes it look much nicer.

Looks like the makings of a pretty nice grip. Are you designing it for a one hand side on target stance or the more modern two handed squared off style?

Gangsta style knowing Rich..:-))) It'll be a variation on the existing rubber grips, but just a bit chunkier and with a bit of a palm shelf, so could be used in either stance. Definitely not gangsta style. |

Well I look forward to seeing them done. Got me thinking about laminates now... Still kinda hung up on carbon fibre though. Which is weird since I don't want a light rifle!

Grips almost finished now. Still a bit too chunky for my liking so still need slimming down a bit.  |

Grips are now finished. The laminate has really changed now that it has been oiled.   |
