smokehouse Posted August 27, 2018 at 02:17 PM Share Posted August 27, 2018 at 02:17 PM So this whole thing started out as a need to pop something to replace some crummy grips that came on my Charter Arms Pitbull. I was doing to some reading/looking and Altamont came up a few times: https://www.altamontco.com/ I decided to give them a try and landed up getting not only a set for my Charter, but also for my S&W 629. I picked up a pair for more or less traditional coke bottle target grips in Walnut. I ordered the set on Sat, they arrived on Friday. First off, I'll say that the finish of these stocks is superb. The Charter set was in high gloss, not my favorite, but the Cherry color really pops with gloss. The Walnut stocks are in matte and they look superb. The fit is also superb with absolutely zero play or gaps. I took them out for a spin yesterday and I'm beyond pleased with their products, especially given the price. The grips on the Charter were the real star, they are far more comfortable than the stock rubber set. I debated getting the checkered grips, but even with the high gloss and my very sweaty hands from the 100+ heat index, I had no problem holding on to the pistol. (I liked them so much that I'll be adding a set of their Charter grips for my Bulldog in silverback here soon.) One side note, funny enough, adding such a nice set of grips on a Charter revolver seems like putting dress shoes on a pig...but at $40, I can't complain.

Dcompton Posted August 28, 2018 at 02:13 AM Share Posted August 28, 2018 at 02:13 AM I absolutely love my Altamonts. Fit and finish is superb. I think they make my 627PC look super sexy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBL87 Posted August 28, 2018 at 03:30 AM Share Posted August 28, 2018 at 03:30 AM They really are amazing for the price. I had a set for the Stainless PT-92 I used to have, absolutely loved them. I wish they made them for the CZ-75, would have gone that route instead of the CZ branded ones (although I do like those too!). When I get my 1911, I'll probably end up getting Altamont grips for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
