WOLFY Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi yall, Did any of the Ruger grip frames have the Thunderer / Lightning profile? I've seen the standard birdshead, but was just wondering if anyone might know if the Thunderer looking style is or was attempted before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I recall seeing ads years ago for a brass Thunderer style gripframe for OMV. Couldn't tell you if anything like that is still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Not sure exactly what the Thunderer looks like, but RW gripframes makes brass frames for Rugers. Looks like they can do all sorts of combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Last I knew, N.C. Ordinance offered a "Thunderer" grip frame and grips for Ruger. Not real expensive either. Might give 'em a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Buyer beware on quality of what you buy. Some mfrs make HORRIBLE fitting grips. Don't know about their grip frames tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googling for ruger brass birdshead grip frame came up with several hits. Here's one: https://www.gunsamerica.com/966867111/Ruger-Vaquero-Lightning-Brass-Backstrap.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 EMF also offers the same configuration plus the bonus of a set back trigger and option of a Bisley style hammer. Checkered grips too. Abilene: The item shown on Guns America is the one manufactured by N.C. Ord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Soo, stoked. I tried phoning them, but the time difference screwed that plan up. As my Vaquero is SS, maybe the chrome will look better than brass? Thanks yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
