SP-101 Grips

[popbang]

I am looking for a set of wooden grips for my SP-101 to replace the Hogue rubber monogrips I have on it. Does anybody have any suggestions? Also do you have any pictures of them on a SP-101? Thanks for your time.

These are Eagle Secret Service grips, checkered Rosewood. http://www.eaglegrips.com/secretservice.htm

Sisco;

Very nice set of grips.

I really like the Eagle grips. I have a pair on a Ruger Speed Six that is very nice.

I had replaced the factory grips (too small for me) with Hougue rubber, like them and have them on my other revolvers. Then I went with a pair of Uncle Mikes boot grips, they were OK too but then came across the wood ones.
I shot some hot load .357's through it yesterday, didn't feel bad at all. In fact I can't say they were any more uncomfortable with hot loads than the Hogues were.

Thanks for the picture Sisco. How do you like the Eagle grips?

Popbang; The Eagles look good, feel good, are low maintenance and don't bite much. Same thing I look for in a woman.

hey sisco do you use your SP101 for CCW use. If you do what type of speedloader do you use? Does the grips get in the way? I'm fixing to purchase a 3" SP101 and use it for CCW use. By the way great looking gun.

Hogue cocobolo. edited - The picture is posted elsewhere on THR (show me your Ruger) and I got some weird message when trying to post the pic again.

No CCW. State of Kansas still doesn't trust us. I have a pair of Maxfire speedloaders, don't use them much but they don't seem to interfere.

If you go to the Hogue website, there are several pictures of their different wood grips on the SP.

I too wanted to change from the Hogue rubber to better looking and smoother (less grab on clothing) wood grips. So I got some Hogue Goncolo Alves, smooth, finger grip. Problem was, they ended up being too smooth for me. Just didn't feel I was getting a good enough grip when retrieving it from concealment. So the rubber grips are back on (the wood set went to a .22LR SP). As an option though, you can get the Hogue wood grips with checkered sides - this should help some. So if you like the fit and feel of the Hogue grips - there are some options.

You might also want to check out the Ajax grip website they have wood and also other materials such as Horn,Stag grips.

A set of Hogue mono grips in coco bolo on my Weigland SP101. This is great wood but this set ran a little darker than I like my coco bolo.
