Does anybody know of bigger wood grips for the ROA? The stock ones are much too small for my hands. I know there's some Pachmayr grips that are bigger than stock, but I'd really like to keep the classic look of wood.
Bigger wood grips for ROA?

How much different from the Ruger Blackhawk grip frame is it? I used to have a Super Blackhawk with Herret's stocks on it and really liked them.
The Old Army and Blackhawk grip frames are the XR3-RED in the following diagram.
The following page from Gunblast.com by Roger Hamm gives a superb description of the various Ruger single action grip frames:

I forgot to mention that I got those grips on Ebay, one of the few gun related things that thye still sell. Mine are J Scott, but Hogue and Hunter also make an extended style for the Blackhawk, just make sure it's not the Super Blackhawk model, as said above they won't fit.

I had to have custom grips made for it because I had Clements put a Ron Power Colt SS Gripframe on it....So of course you need custom grips. Clements recommended Paul Persinger. The price was under $200/W shipping. I warned Mr. Persinger that I had very large hands, I can still palm a basketball.
He asked me a few questions and he made some suggestions. I had to send him my ROA because of the uniqueness but a week or two later, I got it back and I couldn't be happier.
But this is a unique situation and may not be what you're after.

Taylor? Hmm, I bought these at a gun show for cheap, are on my .357 Blackhawk. They are a little funky, but they're wonderful to hold and this is a hunting weapon, not a show piece....
Oh, btw, pachmayrs are larger than stock, but are of rubber. I had a set on my stainless ROA that got stolen so I could stick it in the dish washer after shooting without removing the grips. 
I don't do that with my blued ROA.

I've got a set of the Hogue rubber grips, but liked the wood better and I didn't feel confortable trying to put the birds on the rubber grip.
