Mustang Gregg Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I got a pair of "New" K-Bisley Vaqueros with factory grip panels that are too big in the forward area. Has anyone sanded and repolished the Ivorex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Consider a set from Texasgrips.com. You won’t be disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Gregg Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hoss, That'd be cool but it's for a new Pard on a budget. So we'd like to fix up what he has on hand now. He's got to buy a rifle, a scattergun and reloading gear. Much obliged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Howdy MG. I've sanded on my Ruger 'ivory' grips. I felt the same in that they were just a little big for my hands to grip. I used 300 grit paper and 600 grit sometimes. The 300 grit leaves some 'texture' to the feel of those grips that I prefer. THEN... believe it or not, I use a tad of Carnuba wax to rub on and then rub off with a regular cloth. I DID NOT try to give them a high polish. The Carnuba wax seem to help eliminate the slickness of the grips and give you a firmer hold. And if you don't like the feel after using the Carnuba, just lightly use a little 300 grip paper to rub it off. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he doesn't want any thickness thinned. They are too long lengthwise in front (below the trigger guard) and bite your fingers when fired.
