Handmade Elk Jigged Antler Grips for the Legendary Colt Python
Few revolvers in American history carry the same weight of legend as the Colt Python. Known as the crown jewel of Colt’s double-action line, the Python has earned its place as the trusted sidearm of lawmen, marksmen, and collectors since its debut in 1955. Yet even a revolver of such renown deserves a grip that reflects its heritage, grit, and timeless craftsmanship. That’s exactly what these handmade Elk Jigged Antler Grips deliver.
Authentic Frontier Craftsmanship
Each set of grips is carefully cut and fitted from naturally shed elk antler, a material once prized by pioneers, hunters, and trappers. Long before synthetic polymers and factory molds, rugged frontiersmen carved antler into knife handles, buttons, and tools, valuing its durability and natural beauty. By choosing elk antler for your Colt Python grips, you’re embracing that same enduring tradition.
Hand-Jigged Texture, One of a Kind
The surface of each grip is jigged by hand, creating a rugged, texture that echoes the carved stag grips of the late 19th century.
- Each grip set is completely unique in color, grain, and texture.
- Hand-jigged finish provides a secure, tactile hold while enhancing authentic Old West styling.
With these custom revolver grips, your Colt Python isn’t just a firearm—it’s a personal statement of history and style.
Antiqued Finish with Western Character
To complete the process, a light antiquing is applied, giving each grip the authentic character of a six-gun carried on trail rides or resting behind a dusty general store counter.
- Antiqued by hand for a naturally worn patina.
- Distinct from mass-produced polymer grips—these are built for character, not shine.
Instead of the sterile finish of factory-made grips, you get the honest patina of a working revolver, the kind of look that lawmen like Bat Masterson or Wild Bill Hickok might have approved—if the Python had been in their day.
A Piece of Living History
These Colt Python Elk Antler Grips are more than an accessory—they’re a bridge between modern shooting excellence and the rugged necessity of the Old West. Strong, reliable, and naturally beautiful, they transform your revolver into a piece of living history. When you fit them to your Colt Python, you’ll feel more than comfort in the hand—you’ll feel the echo of the frontier, carried forward through iron and antler.
NOTE: For best fit we prefer to have your revolver.
If you are not comfortable with that, we can work from your original grips, back strap and trigger guard.
