I just got my Secret Service stocks with silver Colt medallion for my snubby Colt Diamondback. The finish is nice and I like the larger size of them as compared to the factory Diamondback Walnut stocks. I must say that I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the factory walnut stocks, they have always been my favorite. Might have something to do with what I first got used to seeing on a Colt. Anyway, they fit in my hand nicely and they are rather comfortable. They quoted a couple of weeks for delivery and they came in that time frame in a little "velvet" type bag. Of course, Eagle makes 1911 stocks and has many different ones to choose from.

I have several pictures (sorry Slim, they as usual, aren't nearly as good as yours) from the sides, top and underneath. I also have one of my hand holding the revolver showing (I hope) how they look in a large hand.

I like that Colt uncle Dave! Man that thing is sharp.
Those stocks definitally give it a different look. Nice.

Thanks, Hunter. I was happy to get them yesterday. I keep buying stuff for this little gun, I have a holster in the works and an appointment with Grant Cunningham for this revolver. I have to make sure it's going to work like new until one of my children takes it from me down the road.

Very nice Dave. I'm going to ask my Diamondback snubbie if he would like some trousers like those.

Frank, I'm glad you like them! I hope your snubby feels the same way. :D

Here is another Eagle set of stocks. They fit superbly. The folks at Eagle are quite nice.

Thank you, Dave. I broke one of the Coltwood/coltplastic panels when I was a kid, and I really didn't expect to find replacements after so many years. She still shoots real good!
