perttime Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What aftermarket grips are there for Ruger GP100? What do you like? Why? I like the stock "rubber with wood panels" grips on my old Ruger GP100 - but am curious if there's something out there that I might like even better. So far, I've found Hogue and Badger models. Trying before buying is probably not feasible. - Finger grooves: what size hands do they actually fit? My hands are not particularly large (just bought a pair of Mechanix gloves, size Large, that are a nice close fit) - Mustn't interfere with speedloaders.

UFO Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I have Hogue grips on every revolver I own. I highly recommend them. If you have a question about clearing your speed loader, I would give their customer service a call. They have always been very helpful.

okshootist Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The older, stock grips you mention are still available from Altamont and I haven't found anything that I thought was better. The Hogues have a lot of material at the top behind the frame. Might be a problem with your hand size. I've never seen a decent grip that had, what I consider to be, adequate speedloader clearance without modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Interesting... My stock grips are still doing fine. Elsewhere, in another language, one guy responded saying that Hogues are too narrow and Badgers are slippery. There's no way to please everybody I hear Nill Griffe from Germany is good, and they have models for Rugers. I just dislike their styling....

jcc7x7 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you really like the gun, get Herret to make you a set They base it on your hand size and will give you plenty of room for a speed loader especially if you let them know that is important to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd totally forgotten about Herret. His website is just pretty impossible to navigate. What I can find looks great. Not sure if he is able to export, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobert1 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Love my Hogues on my GP100 MC. I do have large hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two rugers used that already had hogue grips on them. I had no idea the original look could still be had. Time to dress up the gp and sp.

Alaskan454 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I second the Altamont grips, I have them on two GPs and a Super Redhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
