Really like the depth of wood color shade on those grips which complements the bright of the aluminum grip frame and that in turn contrasts the dark cylinder and barrel. Those smooth grips make me think of my Blackhawk Bisley with Rosewood grips, smooth, not slippery so still nice solid grip. Good thing you have that Ruger, it will keep any rascals from robbing that train on your yard….lol.Thanks, sir
I think it’s great that you show what you are doing and maybe encourage others to do some experimenting of their own. I always seem to be narrowing Ruger grips these days and cleaning up sharp edges. Great job.
That riund butt great. The point on the grip has got my hand more than once, those 45 Colt Ruger is my favorite guns. They go from a mouse gun to a moose gun. Nicely done. You'll always have some pride in that gun when you pick it up
Thank you. In some ways, I wish I'd taken a bit more off the tail for looks, but I'll re-visit that when I get the block of much fancier walnut Snapper has sent me.
You inspired me to refinish my Cimarron Model P factory grips. I’d never attempted anything like that before. I sent you pictures of it. Love your content! Learned a lot from you sir.
I love it. The silver looks good and the shape looks good. Excellent job on the grips. Nothing like doing a few things to a gun you already own and make it feel like you have something new.
Looks quite decent well done something making the gun a little better, it's always about personalizing an item to make it suit better apples and oranges.
Watched this vid again. I have a blue Blackhawk 41 mag 6" that has the internal lock and the spring strut has broken. Only way to fix it is to replace the grip frame. Thought about a Bisley frame and hammer but after seeing what you did im gunna go the same route with aluminum frame. Gunna round the butt edges and leave it in the white. I really like the whole idea , thanks.
That looks pretty doggone good to me. I opted to fit my Blackhawk with the Super Blackhawk stainless steel Hunter grip frame. It’s a 5 1/2 inch new model Blackhawk in 45 Colt. The silver/blue color combo look great together. The blue and polished silver give these sixguns a unique custom look. I decided to go with the stainless because of the weight. I’ve always preferred a heavier piece. I did the grip panels with elkhorn.
I think you did a great job, the satin finish on the grip frame looks great on the blued gun. I really like the grips, the finish is perfect for that gun and rounding the bottom of the grip frame was a great idea.
Nice job. I have seen a Ruger Bisley made into a round butt with a lanyard loop on the bottom. I thought that was cool as well. It's great when guys personalize their weapons. Thanks for another great video!
I made a set of Elk antler grips for my SBH. They look awesome on that gun! I bet you could do the same. Your wooden grips turned out pretty darn nice! The hardest part of working antler is taking the right amount off the backside in order to save as much “Bark” as possible.
Looks like a nice job on those stocks. I like the brushed aluminum look on the frame. I have a flattop 44 special with the 4 5/8 barrel and have been really thinking hard about a no 5 grip frame from Ronnie wells but everyone keeps saying that it's too small. I know he makes larger versions but I can't put one in my hands to try before I spend grocery money on it. So I will keep the plow grip for now until I can't stand to wait anymore.
I like your work. I have a flat top unconverted 3 screw Ruger 44. That gun is really nice. If you decide to customize another revolver check out the 3 screws. Maybe one that has already been modified. I bought mine to have it customized it as the pics on GB made it look rusted. Once I picked it up from my ffl there was no rust, just dirty fingerprints. So I didn't want to customize it.
Nice work on the grips, like the flat bottom. The bigger threat down here is not the grizzlies but the Alabama White Thang. It has been spotted and reported several times in eastern side of the state.
That looks great! Good job on the grips! I read through the comments and saw a recommendation of vinegar already for removing bluing. I might also suggest Naval Jelly. It will remove bluing for sure, I'm just not sure what effect on the aluminum. Boiled linseed oil is my favorite for grips an knife scales. Great job, Plowboy!
I'd like to give that a whirl, bet it packs nice. You could use a epoxy bedding compound to fill any voids on the grip panels to frame fit. Brownell's has a brown bedding compound if ya like. I had checkered grips on .44 Ruger SBH....after a couple cylinders of hot 310 grainers those grips came right off. Git R Done
you have done good! I"m waitin for same gun to show up reasonable so I can puta bisley grip frame a. hammer, and trigger on in stainless so it will look bout the same! had a 44 bisley and a 41 bisley and really like the grip!
That was a decent time to safely unload it. Loading it or unloading it instinctively is a good habit to have. Anyhow, I thought it was a good demonstration. The grip looks good with it rounded some. I kinda like it. The Plowboys Grip? I like that you ended the video with a fade as you reinserted the first round back into the chamber.
I really like it!!! I might do it to my Blackhawk .45. I bought a new Blackhawk.357 mag In stainless with the 4 5/8 barrel Saturday and the grips are thick and the pistol seems heavier than my blued Blackhawk.45 with 5.5” barrel. I might trade it back to the shop owner for a Henry in the .45-70 or the .45c. Don’t know yet.
That looks great! I was looking at Altamont grips recently, and they all look like cheap laminate with a few choices of wood stain and pattern engraving. They call them custom. But I don't see how they can call them custom.
I really like that I had been looking at salted maple blocks I seen your short here recently and dug out some old stocks I’d like to do something like that with my 5.5 “ SBH that really looks nice
That is one sweet shooting iron you have there Plowboy! I like the idea of using old walnut gun stocks for grips...i have some laying around. Say is that a stetson you have on?
Have you got any idea who does that case hardening antique finishing stuff on single actions? That’s the only thing that I have left to do with my Blackhawk 45 long Colt project.
It's an Oklahoma Leather Cheyenne. For this BH, I have something of unknown origin that came with it, but ole HoHo is bringing me a Triple K 440 Lightning holster for it.
The best part of owning a real steel and wood firearms IS the ability to customize them to the shooter. You can't do that with those Tupperware striker fire autoloaders! You're stuck with what ya got... And that ain't much!😆
@@anangryranger Thanks. I look at pictures of some of the gun of Elmer Keith, John Linebaugh, John Taffin, etc... and I really like some of the customized six/five guns. I just don't have the budget for much.
@@plowboysghost I hear ya. Living on a police pension just barely pays the bills, with a little beer money left over.😏 But I agree with ya. If you have the basic skills and modest amount of tools, then anything's possible, especially with grips. Back in the 80's and early 90's, when everyone and their pet poodle wanted custom 1911's, I was building 2 to 3 a month. And for an additional cost, I'd build custom one of a kind grips from exotic, and local wood. But then, I had a fully equipped gunsmith shop. All those tools and machines went with the business when I sold it. Today, I'm back to a few basic tools. So we both use what we've got to do the job. And I think you're doing great work!👍
Don't use a wire brush. It leaves scratches on the aluminum. You want a carding brush. It's very fine and leaves a nice polish or brushed finish depending on which you get. I came up with a couple of Ronnie Wells' frame designs. The Biznana and the Hager BB5. Both are for recoil control in the big recoil cartridges. It's not very difficult to fit these frames to your gun and Ronnie is super helpful and an all around great guy. The weight of the brass frame actually works out between the aluminum and the steel. You should also check out the rear sights he and Fermin Garza came out with. Much better sight picture than the factory blades and very solid when mounted.
I used a brass brush. 0000 steel wool smooths out scratches enough for what I want. I'm still open to a RW grip frame, and the Biznana is one that I ended up eyeballing. I'm also in for better sights, but I also want a better front sight...so my factory pedestal/base might be dovetailed, one day.
@@plowboysghost definitely check out Fermin Garza for the front sight. I'm pairing one of his TLA fronts with one of his and Wells #7 rears on a 4-5/8" 45C Blackhawk sporting a reworked Biznana I am building now. When I talked Ronnie into the Biznana and BB5 designs, my focus was on recoil control in the big bores. The design I am working on now will feature the same level of control and mitigation of the first two, but also have a more conventional look.

I typically take a little off of any sharp edge on any sixgun handle. That looks great.

I can imagine, it looks comfortable.@@plowboysghost

Thank you👍

@@ColtDee Thank you
I have 45 Black Hawk and a Ruger Old Army that I polished the frames on, definitely a good look.
👍
I think it looks great. And what really only matters is do YOU like it. Appreciate your content.
Thank you.
Good idea about reusing the Ruger aluminum grip frame and stripping the black of it.
Watched this vid again. I have a blue Blackhawk 41 mag 6" that has the internal lock and the spring strut has broken. Only way to fix it is to replace the grip frame. Thought about a Bisley frame and hammer but after seeing what you did im gunna go the same route with aluminum frame. Gunna round the butt edges and leave it in the white. I really like the whole idea , thanks.
I still look at the Ronnie Well's grip frames with a bit of lust...but I REALLY like how this one turned out enough that I'm satisfied with it.
I cannot handle single actions, can't hit the barn if I was locked in it. I do admire your personalization of the blackhawk, it looks fine to me. :)
Thank you.
Nice work! All my Ruger SA I have are steel grip frames. SBH 44 Mag.... NM Blackhawk Bisley 44 Special.... New Vaquero 45 Colt
Thanks 🍻
Pretty dadgone cool, little brother!
Thank you
Grips look fine to me. I like it. The 2 tone sets it off right.
Thanks. I wanted a semi custom look.
Very Nice! I know I have seen a brush on Brass color for Aluminum but it looks great the way it is!
Something like brass coating would be awesome if it's durable. Thanks!
Dang man, that looks incredible! Love the shaping! 😃👍🏻
Thanks, brother. 🍺
The walnut looks classic. Very nice job.
Thanks 👍
I bone my wood stocks and grips. Have a piece rib bone that does the work. Love the way it makes the wood look and feel.
👍👍
Awesome
I hate round butt, but that doesnt't look like round butt to me. Looks fantastic. Great job!
It's more .....ish. Thanks 👍
nicely done sir! incredible job on making them look uniform, really like the aluminum look too.
Kind of you to say so

I bet you could do the same.
Your wooden grips turned out pretty darn nice!
The hardest part of working antler is taking the right amount off the backside in order to save as much “Bark” as possible.
Well done your revolver looks good. I've done that to a black powder revolver.
Thanks 👍
Really love the Blackhawk 45 colt. Wish I could show you the Bisley that I have. It’s my prize six gun. Keep up the great work.

I like it looks good I just finished a 10-22 stock I put four coats of true oil then knocked back down to a satin finish with steel wool
I bet that's nice.
It's beautiful! You did a very handsome job on this! I may do this to mine!
Very nice you did a good job buddy that turned out great
I really appreciate the good word!
Nice work on the grips, like the flat bottom.
The bigger threat down here is not the grizzlies but the Alabama White Thang. It has been spotted and reported several times in eastern side of the state.
😁👍
Looks nice. Like reusing old stock. One day someone will have a Plowboy custom job.
🤠👍
I ordered a Stainless grip frame, round butt.
I like it!
Carbon frame but the rest is Stainless steel.
Sweet
Looks great. I think it's going to be comfortable to shoot.
Thanks. I had to break down and clear coat the panels because they were a bit slick and squirrely .
Outstanding! Nice work!
Very kind of you.
Good job on the grips. Strong handgun.
That looks great! Good job on the grips! I read through the comments and saw a recommendation of vinegar already for removing bluing. I might also suggest Naval Jelly.

This wasn't blueing. It's some sort of Alumablack or powder coat, maybe.

It's a unique look. Reminiscent of the brass frame 1851 Navy grip frame. But different.
Yep...just enough to seem a little different than stock. Works for me!
Looks really good, great job
Thank you🍺

Thank you, much!

Good looking Blackhawk. I would like to get a brass gripframe for mine.
They are beautiful. Thanks 👍
Welp.... now i gotta redo mine lol thanks
😂😂 Sorry, my friend.
I like it, good job on the grips brother. 👍
Thanks, brother 🍻
@plowboysghost You're welcome brother
Great job, mate. I love that pistol. I wish we could do what you do, I live in Australia and our laws suck real bad.
Thank you, much!
Damn man nice work
I gotta figure out what grips to replace the factory black plastic on my .357 6.5 inch barrel Blackhawk.
If you want my white resin ivory grips, let me know
I think you did a very good job!
That was a decent time to safely unload it. Loading it or unloading it instinctively is a good habit to have. Anyhow, I thought it was a good demonstration.

Hey man I saw in one of your other videos another revolver you had that you made look older, like a distressed look. How did you go about doing that?
I used 0000 steel wool, 1000, and 2000 grit sandpaper (dry) on that one.
@@plowboysghost thanks!

Striking looks.
Thank you
just wondering, what is your walking around holster for your SAA revolvers?
It's an Oklahoma Leather Cheyenne. For this BH, I have something of unknown origin that came with it, but ole HoHo is bringing me a Triple K 440 Lightning holster for it.
How do you like the H-110? So far I’ve been using 9.2 grains of Unique behind 240 grain Hornady hollow points for plinking.
I've been a big fan of H110 & W296 for full Magnums for years.
@@plowboysghost Thanks. I recon I’ll give the H-110 a try for my heavier loads.
