Blackhawk grip recommendations

I prefer the standard plow handle grip over the finger groove. I don't however like the plastic grips that come on the BH.

I got these birdeye maple grips from http://www.privatescustomgrips.com/index.html

Opinions on grip brand, material & configuration are as subjective as leggy redheads vs. buxom blondes! So, I much prefer plow-handle grips on the RBH over finger-groove. To me, an SA revolver is supposed to make that slight upward slide in my grip to more easily facilitate the follow-up hammer cock.

Check out gripmaker.com, if you don't mind finish fitting your own grips, and they have grips to fit the internal hammer spring lock on the newer Blackhawks.

These two also came from Private Schultz....great guy, great grips, great price

I'm very pleased with the American Holly grips I got from Private Schultz. They look and feel great on my Ruger .44 Special Blackhawk Flattop. Another way to go might be Tru Ivory stocks from Bar-S Grips. Fit and finish are outstanding and I think they look fine on blued guns as well as nickel plated or polished stainless steel guns.

Lawdawg, been shooting cowboy about 7 years. We can offer choices I guess. This is a big personal preference. And some chioces would be influenced by your category.

Personally, I like 'em all. Except the finger grooves. Then again, they would be illegal in cowboy.

RCMODEL, please post your Ruger with the "paper" grips. I think they are one of the most attactive grips I have seen. I have Eagle gunfighter grips (walnut) on my 3 screws. The gunfighter grips are thin. I have tried a bunch but have found the slimmer the better.

Choose your type of leather, cant, and fit.

I got these from the same guy as TennJed, and would also recommend him. For the blued Blackhawks I originally liked the grips made from darker wood. But my maple grips have grown on my pretty fast.

Check out this fellow. He has a good following among folks over at RugerForums.com
