There were three Miroku 38 Special revolvers made between 1960 and 1984 when production finally ceased. The most common of these revolvers, and I use that term advisedly, was the Miroku Liberty Chief. The Liberty Chief was a 2" barreled, six-shot caliber 38 Special revolver using a mix of S&W and Colt styling. The closest design to the Liberty Clief was undoubtably the Colt Detective Special. Having handled a few of these revolvers (and owning a near-mint version) I can say they are remarkably well-made. After all, Miroku shotguns and rifles are universally thought to be quite well executed.

The total number of these revolvers made exceeds 160,000, only a very few of which were imported into the US in the 1964-1967 time-frame. Personally I would consider this revolver to be every bit as carefully crafted as a Colt or S&W of the same period. If you shoot your Miroku revolver, shoot only standard pressure 38 Special ammunition. After all, most of these revolvers are over 50 years old.

For a Liberty Chief in mint, new-in-the-box condition with the box, top price might be $350 - 400 is my guess. My Liberty Chief, in honest 96% condition, should bring $275 by my guess. Unfortunately, there are few people who collect these cute little unknown revolvers.

Do they make custom grips for a Miroku liberty chief 38 special revolver?

No. The Miroku .38 series of pistols are their own creation that took on the best features of both Colt as well as Smith & Wesson made firearms. For example, the 4" barreled "Police" version has a grip frame which is larger than a "K" frame S&W but not quite the same size as the "N" frame either? Colt, nor Ruger grips will fit its contour either. Your best bet is to play around with a "close" fitting S&W style set of grips and modify it in some way to fit.
