Believe me, I'm no expert at all on custom jobs for GP 100's, but most folks, including myself, prefer the factory grips. As far as I know Ruger doesn't make another kind, just variations in the colors of wooden inserts. The people I've heard from pertaining to changing grips usually go to some other kind of rubber grip like Hogue or Pacmayr to help with recoil. They usually say that the factory grip is too large or small for them, or they just don't like their appearance. However, there are many sources for wooden grips out there: Craig Spegel, Hogue, Ahrends, Eagle, Ajax, even Pachmayr makes wood grips. These are just some of the most prominent grip manufacturers. There are many others that do special custom grips. You can do a Google search using "wood revolver grips" and get many, many, more.
As far as the hammer goes, I've never heard of anyone doing anything except maybe bobbing a GP hammer for concealment purposes. There may be custom hammers, but I am ignorant of that fact. If there are common applications of custom hammer for GP's, someone will be along in a while to say so.
