Picked up a used Buckmark Gold Target .22 the other day to get back into a little competitive shooting. Starting off easy with some 50' gallery shooting with a millet red dot sight.

The gun has beautiful rosewood grips, but I'm a lefty, so need to change them. Any tips on where to look? So far, I haven't found anything.

A dealer told me the factory makes special runs of them but rarely. I never checked into it.

I know their standard grips are ambi. I'd try the usual suspects in grip makers like Ajax. Check out Brownells too.

Thanks, Bob. I ended up buying a pair from Brownell's. They had them in stock and were very nice to deal with. Had the grips in just a few days. Not cheap, but the most beautiful rosewood, and they fit my hand well. Now to figure out how to hit more x rings...

I know what you mean, I have rosewood on ALL of my S&W revolvers. Really makes them into works of art, IMO.  Brownells are about the nicest people I've ever done business with. They & Dillon's really take care of you.

May I ask what you plan on doing with your old RH grips?

The old grips are walnut, I believe, and wrap around the front, completely covering the front part of the frame.

I think I should probably keep them in case I ever want to sell the gun. Was that a hint of interest?

Absolutely. What would you want for them?

Bob, I think I will probably keep them. But, if you want to IM me your email address, I will contact you if I should ever change my mind.

If you need grips right away, Brownell's has tons of different grips for Buckmark pistols.

Nah, I've got grips on mine. I just thought I might be able to get a nice wooden set cheap. >gg<
