Just acquired a new used blue Bearcat. The grip panels don't fit the frame super well, leaving the back strap of the frame exposed along each edge. I can live with the appearance of them, but the bottom of the grip frame at the back edge is kinda sharp and pokey. Not really comfy. I am considering ordering another set of grip panels from Shopruger.com, and wonder if the experience of those here on the board is that there is enough variance in the size of the panels to maybe make it worth trying as a way to cover the exposed corners of the grip frame. If this was a stainless Bearcat I would fearlessly dehorn the offending area, but I'm hesitant to do that and use cold blue to try to cover evidence of the butchery. Any advice?
Maybe a set of slightly oversize unfinished custom grips that I could sand to fit would do the trick. It doesn't appear that many people offer custom Bearcat grips, though.
