USFA Rodeo Grips

[Samgotit]

I've acquire a SAA Rodeo. It's a thing to behold. I wouldn't trade it for all the monkey love in the zoo, but... can I replace the grips with anything made for a SAA Colt? If no, can you recommend a vendor. I'd like something in flat black or flat white (maybe), but I'd be willing to look at anything you can think of.

Edit: I've got a little side question:. Why did the originals have 4 clicks instead of 2 like many of the reproductions?

No SAA or copy has truly interchangeable grips. If you want something nice, they should be individually fitted. USFA has white checkered and smooth grips for $45, that would be your best chance with a minimum of work. Page 5 of Parts at:

Jim Watson is pretty much right. USFA tries to clone the 2nd Gen. Colt and comes close. I have a set of white checkered polymers that I fitted to my Rodeo several years ago before I sold it. I kept the grips cuz I have a Gunslinger model and they shud fit. The Gunslinger is now sporting a smooth white polymer that has aged and matches the aged look of the Gunslinger.

You may want to order from USFA or check Ajax grips and order a set of their 2nd gens. Either one will have to be fitted tho. Time and patience will get you thru.
