No, it's not a double rifle, but anyone that appreciates doubles has to appreciate Paul Persinger's ivory grips on my FA '97... 45 Colt with ACP cylinder.

Anyone have a BBQ I can crash?

I've seen lots of grips, and Paul's work is second to none. Double guys have nice guns, and your handguns deserve nice grips.

Give Paul a call. Relatively quick turn-around, and spectacular work. He's a real pro.

I will add, that I have 2 sets of 1911 Ivory grips from Paul. They are perfect, in every way...

Website/contact info?

Have a custom 1911 which needs these

Also sent you an email through your site new guy, did you receive? Would be from jXXXXXn@gmail

I have a set of hand-fitted ivory grips from Paul Persinger on my USFA SAA 44-40 and they are perfect.

For my 1911's ivory I went with Nutmeg Sports at Nutmeg Sports Ivory
My scrimshawed grip is shown here...

I did not want to cut up my tusks so I had several pairs of ivory 1911 grips made from large Hippo teeth. Looks real sharp.

I went on his site and could not find any info on real ivory grips, just the artificial. Did I miss something?

I don't think Paul has a website.

Here's the latest contact info I have for Mr Persinger:

Paul Persinger
10441 Mackinaw St.
El Paso, TX 79924
915-821-7541

I don't believe he's ever had a web-site.

I've got a Colt SAA that is crying for those grips. She was so embarassed last time I took her to the range with her plain-jane rubber factory grips (or it may have been my shooting).

Do you have any pictures you'd like to share? I'd like to see those if you don't mind.

This is a set of one piece ivory Nutmeg grips on a USFA 45 Colt I won in a raffle.

I'm a sucker when it comes to ivory grips like those. Unfortunately, they're rather fragile and more suited for show than for manhandling. Also, they do cost an arm and a leg. I've chosen to take the middle road and settled for "look alikes" which are way not so pretty but stronger for sure.
