I've seen comments on other boards, as well as in comments on Amazon, regarding the fit of Hogue Monogrip on the Ruger SP101. Some people rave and some others have indicated that they've had problems with proper fit. I'm in the latter group.
I bought a set for my wife's SP101. I was excited to receive the Hogues because the SP was hard on her hand with the stock grip. But the darned thing just doesn't fit right. There is a sizable gap (at least 1/8") behind the trigger guard. It is possible to rotate it so that that gap closes up but it opens up at the top of the backstrap below the hammer.
I've called Hogue and e-mailed them photos but have gotten zero response. Pretty p***-poor support if you ask me. I guess I'll just write it off as a $16 lesson learned.
I've e-mailed Pachmayr and asked them for installation instructions for their grips. I wanted to see how they install before I purchase. No response from them either. What IS it with grip manufacturers???
