Recheckering old worn grips
Because some grips are thin, would recheckering them be worth while or advised? My grips are well worn with no sharp checkering. And, who would do the best job? Website for them please.
Thank you

Hugh Clark has done an outstanding job for me on several very worn checkering and broken safety chip grip sets. He is highly recommended.

Jimmy Soloman has my grip panels now for a redo. He noted the numbers stamped on the grips did not look original.

I will also give a recommendation for Hugh. He has done a couple pairs of gips for me on early griip safety guns.
Heres the before and afters on my 1900 |
