My apologies for the delay in responding. Other than perhaps improving the finish on the wooden panels, they were bought from GPC and look to be varnished or something, I'm very happy with how the grips feel and look. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

BTT. I hope everyone has a safe weekend! Please EMAIL if you have any questions. Thanks

If you have any questions, Please EMAIL (leisurethings AT Gmail Dot Com). I'd still prefer to conduct a Face to Face transaction in Maryland, or deliver to your FFL within a reasonable distance, in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and maybe even PA and WV, all in accordance with the law. I have...

I like the old school Pachmayrs, and have/had them on various Smiths and even a Python years ago. They look perfect on a 3" model 64/65! With that said, the ergonomics of the Hogues are generally better. The one that came on the 3" GP100 was simply too big and most likely made for the more...

Thanks again for the suggestions! Some gorgeous burl panels on Chig's site! For now, I've decided to install some factory large grips with the older Cocobolo (?) panels that I had in a spare parts box for one of the three GP100s I've owned in the past. In searching the internet for pics of...

Thank you for the replies! The images certainly help, and I had no idea that Altamont sold the textured rubber grips.

I've had this revolver for a while, haven't shot it, but have occasionally admired it. The rubber Hogues with finger grooves that it came with fit my large hands just fine but look absolutely disproportional and overly large for the 3" barrel. I've owned a 3" half-shroud GP100 with the fixed...

Follow-up post... A BIG THANKS to those who told me to contact Hogue! I had already sent them an email when I posted here, and they eventually answered, but in the meantime, I called, spoke to someone and they mailed me a free pin which I received in four days. The rep who answered didn't...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll call Hogue, and if that doesn't work, modify the "stirrup." A good week to all!

Bought a used Hogue Monogrip for the 9mm SP101 and when it came in, the hole for the grip locator pin was much smaller than the pin that came on my gun. I'm planning on making a pin out of some aluminum rod or something and was wondering if anyone knew the correct diameter of the thinner grip...

Thanks for the replies! I don't generally like temporary fixes like the Talons, and even though I like and own VZ grips, I would prefer to replace only the inserts on these. If I end up replacing the grips, it would probably be for Hogues, which I have used on SP101s in the past, and which...

I recently bought a 9mm SP101 and was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for the grip panels that come on the Talo's exclusive SP101 .357, that look like black skateboard tape? I have some similarly-textured plastic grip panels made by Ergo on a 1911 Springfield Armory, and like the...

Thanks for the info.! I guess I'll buy the shorter one for the time being. Cheers

I'm thinking of getting a 9mm SP101 and can't find any with 3" barrels for sale. They're not in the current product line. I know at one point they existed, but have no idea when they stopped making them. If I can't find one, I may just buy a 2 1/4" barreled until I eventually find a 3". It's...

BTT, Please email if you have any questions. Thanks
