There has been much confusion over Ruger grip frames and which model uses which grip panel. 44 Mag.RUGER GRIP STYLES “ Which Ruger grip panels fit my frame?” 357 load would buck some too, but if I want 'stout', I go with the. 22 LR I can do fine with the small-hand-favorable "normal" grip frame. I used the original Super Blackhawk frame on a less-kicking caliber Blackhawk. The brass 'brad' is in the picture because during all this stuff my brass 'bead' front sight fell out, and I used a brass brad to fashion a new one, held in place with some JB-Weld. This picture doesn't show the contrasting finishes all that well, but it's the best I've got. Probably I'll just leave it as-is, and enjoy it. It is a strong and evidently hard-to-chip finish, that is smooth and tough - but it IS a sort of 'cobblestone' matte texture, definitely it does NOT match the original Ruger blueing job.! I just wanted to get a finish on it for now, and decided if I really liked the grips I could always have the whole gun buffed down and re-blued professionally, or perhaps even do the frame in CeraKote to match. It didn't take more than a couple hours with a grinder and hand-files to get the new grip frame to match my gun.įor the finish, I decided to use a CeraKote bake-on finish, since I had half a can left over from doing a magazine tube for my 'Night Scout' project. I had hoped to do a 'practice run' on a stainless gun I had first, not wanting to deal with blueing/reblueing. I switched to a 'blued' one (unfinished non-stainless) and got it within a week. I ordered a stainless one from MidwayUSA but after ten months they finally said they kept trying and trying to get one from Ruger, but so few came and I was way down the list of people having already ordered them. "swap" one, which would mean fitting TWO of them, and if the frame was wider than the grip I didn't want to have to file or grind on a frame. That told me that I may want to just buy a separate 'oversize' new frame vs. I was going to swap them just for a test-run, and I guess I could have (one was stainless and the other not), since the fit was fine mechanically, but there would clearly need to be lots of final fitting so the frame and grip were smooth where joining. I strongly prefer the Super Blackhawk wide but 'tall' hammer, and flatter trigger, so I didn't swap out those parts. You don't have to swap hammer and trigger, but most folks do. Here's a forum thread on the Ruger grips I found very helpful - /viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34247 I put a Bisley grip frame on my Super Blackhawk, after getting a Vaquero Bisley from a forum member and liking the grip way better.
