I was looking for a custom laminated wood grip for my refinished Dan Wesson 357 Supermag in gloss blue. I had always wanted to try an LB Grip in the past but the lack of checkering had me worried about dropping my supermag from my tree stand on a cold morning with numb fingers and cloth gloves on. I had my hopes set on buying a custom Hogue grip for double the price but I already had one on another gun and they didn't have the Apple Jack laminate wood that I wanted for my 357 Supermag project. So after a long waitt LB contacted me at just the right time and I took a chance on his LB Special grip. I sent him a piece of Apple Jack laminate that I had been saving for such a reason and a pair of Dan Wesson medallions that I picked up on Ebay. Within 2 weeks my grip arrived and upon opening up the box I was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. But would the grip do its job in a tree stand? After installing the grip there was no question that it would not only do its job but do it better than even my Hogue rubber grip and my other custom checkered wooden Hogue grip that I previously spent over $150 on. LB claims that he designed this grip for himself because of neurological problems with one of his hands. I had been dealing with similar issues from two herniated cervical discs and after surgery it took time to get the strength back in both of my hands which was a big concern if I had to hold a big heavy hand cannon high up in a tree stand for many hours on end. But thankfully the LB Special grip turned out to be exactly what I needed. It features the finger grooves of the gripper style grip but the grip is thicker and with a wider base similar to the original factory style grips. The grip is actually wider than all other finger grooved grips for the Dan Wesson which makes the gun handle so much better than before. With these features you don't need checkering which can take away from the beauty of exotic woods and laminates. I'm so happy with the grip that I'm going to get in line to buy two more. It's certainly a privilege to own an LB grip and they are worth the wait at any price.
