  • Iver Johnson produced a large number of top break 32 and 38 caliber revolvers during the first part of the 20th century. These affordable revolvers were meant to be small and concealable in order to serve as defensive sidearms for the common man. They came in a variety of barrel lengths. This one that I own has an uncommonly seen 4" long barrel. It's length throws off the proportions of the revolver, making the thin, short grips look out of place. Iver Johnson marketed a Western Grip, a one piece wooden grip both thicker and longer than the standard grips. Inspired by those, in this video I make my own wooden grips for the revolver. The result is a much more proportional look and a more comfortable shooting experience.

    I think the new grips fit the style of the revolver better than the old ones.

    Nice I did the same thing for a little 38 I had with an undersized grip, used black walnut and also checkered it which I dont recommend because it's a pain in the ass lol

    Been meaning to make new grips,on my 1858 Remington. Most instructive was how you inlet the stock with a wood chisel. Thanks.

    I’d like a better grip for my
    Iver 38 also, but the top would have to be shaped a bit differently.

    The grips are to low, you should have your hand higher up

    Don't take this the wrong way. I do like your videos. They are very informative but man you need to wake up a little bit when you talk. It's so boring that I just want to fall asleep. Sorry just my opinion
