joachim slim 17 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Im thinking of buying a 3 screw 45 colt that was made in 1971. I cant remember what model frame that is. I will have to buy grip panels for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major E A Sterner #12916 274 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Depending on the barrel length it will be a BKH 44 (4 & 5/8) or a BKH 47 (7& 1/2 barrel) The grip frame will be a XR3-RED, They made less of the 3 screw 45's than just about any other 3 screw and they are usually priced accordingly .

McCandless 1,921 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 XR3-RED So, any grips that fit the "old model" Vaquero, New Model Blackhawk, (except the .357 Anniversary edition), or Ruger Old Army will fit your gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trailrider #896 1,800 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 While it is true that the 3-screw Rugers have the XRED-3 frame, whether a particular pair of grips will fit properly is a matter of chance...there could be some gaposis. You may get lucky and any pair may fit, or not. Are you planning to get regular Ruger grips or aftermarket? Check Eagle grips and Altamont Grips. Stay well and safe, Pard! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am just looking to get factory grips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
