Philosopher Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I've got a Ruger New Vaquero Talo model revolver with the birdshead grip frame that is wearing a set of black laminate factory grips. My second revolver is also a Ruger New Vaquero, but with the "regular" grip frame - this revolver wears the brown laminate factory grips. I'd like to get the color of the grips matched up. Anyone have a set of factory black laminate Ruger "regular" grips they would part with? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I don’t think you can just swap the grips, you would probably need the whole grip frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OP is just looking for black laminate panels for the regular grip frame to match the birdshead model - not to make them both have birdshead shaped grips. I could be wrong of course.

Philosopher Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Sorry I was unclear. I am just looking for black laminate GRIPS for a "regular" NM Vaquero frame, not looking to convert the regular frame to birdshead. My goal is to have the two different grip frames BUT with the same color grips. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Flint Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have these: I need some .45 colt brass if you have any to trade. Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall If the OP is not interested in your Ruger NMV grips I am! Let me know how much 45 Colt brass you would like in trade. Thanks Pard.

Marshal Flint Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I would just be looking for what a pard thought was a fair trade for these, but truth be know if you had a truck full I would accept it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Marshall Flint, thank you but that's not quite what I'm looking for, so please feel free to make a deal with Bingo. I'm looking for grips colored like this pair on Brownell's which they describe as laminated silver/black grip panels: Link to silver-black grips on Brownells Except I need grips to fit my NM Vaquero.

Philosopher Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Still looking. To reiterate I want JUST a set of Ruger factory silver/black laminate grips to fit a "regular" Ruger New Vaquero with an XR3 grip frame. Do not want a new metal grip frame. Thanks!

Manchester Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Believe that if you have a New Vaquero, then you would have a new XR3 grip frame not a XR3-RED. https://gunblast.com/Hamm_Ruger-SA-GripFrames.htm Think these folks have what you are looking for. https://www.mountedshootingsupplies.com/store/product499.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thank you! Appears you are correct. These grip designations are confusing, I'm going to need to go lay down for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
