Last October I get a call from a cowboy buddy asking me to come over the next morning with my horse so we could ride through his cows.
So early the next morning, I saddle my mare start to jump her in the trailer and I have a little problem.
As I lead her away from the hitching rail, I have the lead rope in my right hand (shooting hand) she rears up and flips over jerking the lead rope through my hand and the knot some how hits the back my hand injuring three of my fingers ( thankful my trigger finger is not one of them).
In defense of my mare I can assure anyone reading this, this was my fault and not my mare's, sometimes one needs to pay closer attention to what their horse is telling them.
I got to my buddies place, my hand had already started to swell and trying to use the fingers on that hand was pretty painful.
We did what we needed to do, I kept working my fingers on my bad hand with my good hand as we were riding, hoping to keep my fingers from becoming totally stiff.
By the time I got home my hand was really swollen, my fingers were about twice the size as normal and I could not bend them without using my other hand to do so.
Our firearms deer season was do to start in about a month and I already planned to hunt with a handgun.
So as much as I could stand it I kept working my fingers with my other hand.
In about two weeks I could actually hold the revolver in the photo with my shooting hand, but I could still not make a tight fist so gripping the revolver was not the best, shooting the revolver was painful as all get out.
To date I still can't make a tight fist and the three injured fingers are twisted and I can't straighten them like my fingers on my good hand.
The factory grip on the Bisley was real narrow and hard to grip even when my hand was still good.
Shooting the gun after I injured my hand it would roll in my hand letting the trigger guard bash my finger adding pain to the pain I already had, I did not need more of that.
So as soon as deer season was over I knew I was going to get some wider grips for the gun.
I called Sack Peterson, told him of my dilemma, explained to him what I was looking for, what you see in the picture is what I got.
I'm so pleased with the end result, the custom stag grips fit my hand perfect and in my opinion look so much better then the stock grips.
This is the second gun I have with Sack Peterson stag grips and if I ever need another pair Sack is the man I'll call.
