New shoes for my GP100

Post by RO73 »

I just got these from a guy in Idaho. He does great work and I am highly impressed with the quality.
This picture does not do them justice but I just figured I would share.

Thank you both.

The grip maker is a guy named Pete.
His website is Grips4u.net

His grips are pricey, but worth every penny.

Ohhh. very nice. The fiancée has a hard time with the finger divots on the Hogue Tamer, and I just love the look of wood. Those look awesome - and thank you for helping me spend money.

Very nice.
I have the older style rubber grips with wood inserts on mine, from before Ruger switched to Hogues. I like them fine, but I'm really diggin' your new shoes. Looking at the website, I like the fact that they're unstained and simply oil finished.

Very nice!

I keep toying with the idea of new grips for my GP100, but the every time I pick it up those hogue grips are so.......damn......comfy.....

My pleasure. Gun forums have made me spend more money than I ever thought I would:grin:

The hogues are comfortable. I just think revolvers look much nicer with wood. I'll be shooting with the new grips this weekend and will let you know how they feel.

Man those are nice! I don't allow myself to have guns that nice. I'm to rough on them and it would be an injustice to ruin something that pretty with even a little scratch.

Thank you. This gun is shot quite often, although I have to admit I clean it thoroughly after every outing :biggrin:
