Very nice.. But for $150 I'd expect the 2240 to come with them at least.

Those are beautiful grips Jauvesst.  Looks like they are even prepared for using a long bolt handle.  Nice. :-*

I have several sets from Keith Grips, located in Canada. Last purchase was 65$ US.

Mine are from Ralph Brown directly.  Excellent grips, outstanding quality.  Has anyone heard anything about his health recently?  Is he back to making/selling grips?

Ralph made a few sets for me over the years. As mentioned above, fabulous quality and service all around. I used to love reading his email messages which always ended with a simple, "Later."

One of my biggest regrets was an order I was GOING to make that entailed a reggae/Rastafarian color scheme for a 1377 (both grips and super pumper arm). Green, Yellow, Black and Red, "No problem!" replied Ralph but I changed my mind at the last second with a different look entirely (more natural, maple tone).

Yes, I hope he gets back on the horse soon  :-* :-* :-*

I've got both Ralph and Rick grips.  Gave the set of Ralph's to my brother for his 2240 and the Rick set is on the new pistol build. Ralph was always a gentleman with his replies and got you the goods quick. I do have one of Ralph's pump handles on my 1320.   Sad neither are making grips now. My Rick grips will be on one of my shooters as long as I have one.

I really like those grips. How expensive are they compared to RB grips for example?

Wow... I was really hoping Ralph would recover and get back to making his great grips. Ordered a couple sets for a rainy day.

I went as far as to contact Ralph to see how much he was willing to sell the already established business, but he has other plans BUT I did buy one last set of maple grips before they are gone for good  :-* :-* :-*
