Need a new set of grips, but what fits.
Not sure what to order.
On Altamont's site they don't specifically mention the NM Single-Six like the other models.

NM Single-Six. Stainless Steel 6.5"
Frame has KXR-3 under the grips.

XR3-RED.
Without the RED markings on that frame, it's confusing. However,, the "flair" of the bottom of the g/f points to the XR3-RED design.

Altamont lists the Single Six under the Blackhawk.
"This section contains grips for all Ruger models with an XR3-RED frame. Including Blackhawk, Vaquero (NOT New Vaquero), Wrangler, Single Six, Super Single Six, Old Army, 4 5/8" barrel Super Blackhawk, 5 1/2" barrel Super Blackhawk, Hawkeye (some modification needed to fit wider trigger slot)."

#XR3-RED is the Old Model marking for your grip size. The same grip size in the New Model style are:
Earliest = KXR-3*, Next = KXR-3 with a separate N, Late = K (in circle) XRN-3, most current = no casting #.

*Note: the same # KXR-3 is used on two different frames: earliest NM SS "XR3-RED size" and the old style SS Old Army "XR3-RED size", because based on how the castings are machined, they can be used for either application.
