Ruger Super Redhawk grips

[Tatume]

Hello Folks,

My older SRH has the grips with the laminated wood insert panels, and my newer one has the Hogue rubber grips. I prefer the older grips, as they are slightly larger and fit my hand better. I tried a Hogue wooden grip, and it is even smaller than the Hogue rubber grip. I would like a grip slightly larger than the original Ruger grips with the laminated panels.

I wrote to Herretts about getting a Jordan Trooper, and they quoted me a ridiculous price, which included shipping the gun to them and $75 to ship it back to me, $120 for the grips, and a $150 custom fee. All in all, it came to over $400!

There are people here who make custom revolver grips. Can anybody recommend a maker of grips for the SRH, preferably in the Jordan Trooper style?

Thank, Tom

Dillon sells some Jordan Trooper grips. 1-800-223-4570. Hope this helps. Harles

Hi Harles,

Couldn't find anything on the Dillon site. However, I did find the original Ruger grip and the locater pin for $10 at Midway.

They do not include the side panels or the screw, but I found a wide assortment of handmade panels with the screw included at:

for $20. Add $3 shipping from Midway, and another $3 from Chigsgrips, and I have the whole shebang for $36. Since I like the Ruger rubber/hardwood grip the best of any I've tried, it's a bargain.

Take care, Tom

Check out Altamont I bought a set for my Blackhawk here.

Just run pistol grips in the search engine and look for Altamont.

Hi Sasquatch,

They are interesting. Thanks for the pointer.

Take care, Tom

Chigs Grips makes panels for the GP/SRH grips that are some what thicker than the factory.


Here`s a pic of 1 of the sets I have, my hands are to large for "large" mechanix gloves & not snug in "X-large"

I've already ordered a set of panels from Chigs Grips, but I may ask him about making a thicker set, as you suggest. I'm willing to buy more than one set at his very reasonable prices.
