Chig's Grips | Ruger SP101 & GP100 Grip Panels
Was wanting to know what original grips looked like and made of. Have been thinking about getting one but there are a lot of after market stuff out there.
Some of the folks on the Ruger forums say that in addition to walnut the inserts were made of goncalo alves
before the switch to rosewood.
I tried there without success. Have heard they used Cocobolo but I didn't think that was correct. It's beautiful wood but if I'm paying top dollar then I want the gun to be original. Goncalo alves or Rosewood is what I'm looking for thanks.
