Just having a little fun with one of my .22's.

That pistol sure looks good to me. I am doing mine the same way but I don't have my Houge Grip yet. I have a Mueller Quick Shot on mine. Good luck with yours.. :)

WELL....evidently I have NO taste atall as I most assuredly prefer the before and NOT the after.
WHY would a man of your caliber replace that nice set of wood stocks with those condom grade "grips"??

Nice pistol, but.... is that sight on backwards? :D

 

[polseszczyk]

Well, thanks for the comments. The grips may not be the best looking, but they are really nice in the hand. I have big hands and these fit me very well.
I will put the wood back on when I'm done playing. :mrgreen: Ha, ha, ha. No the sight is on the right way. It's a ATN. American Technologies Network.
They make a lot of night vision stuff. This is a very good unit. Check them out.

Those grips give you a lot more control over the pistol if you are shooting plates or steel where you have to move fast. I have tried both and the rubber is way better for me. I agree it lacks in looks but it will make it up with speed. :)

LOL! Wil Terry. I got a kick out of "condom grips"! I really like wood and most of my guns wear them. This is just a project gun that I am having a little fun with. They do fill your hand rather nicely though. :D

I feel like I need to send Terry a check for all the entertainment I've gotten out of ten or twelve years of his posts!!! :lol:

Cool!!!!

 

[Milly]

I like both looks. I guess I would have to buy another gun to leave "stock". :)

 

[dbracin]

I think the before looks much better than the after. Just my opinion though. :)

pol,

I bought one NIB just like that last week. I went to a gun show looking for a basic 22/45 but ended up with the cocabolo gripped model. I think it's the best looking MK pistol Ruger has ever made, PERIOD.
The only mod I plan to do to mine is mount a Millett Red Dot on it. Well, I'd love to have it threaded and add a can to it too but if that ever happens it'll be down the road a ways. It should be here next week. How does your's shoot? I haven't even had a chance to shoot mine yet. But really figured there was no need to until my Dot gets here.
It's not exactly a 1911, but feels pretty good to me.

do they make "ribbed" rubber grips for the ladies? :wink:

 

[polseszczyk]

Thanks for all of the comments. Just having a little fun. I agree the wood grips look much better. But the Houge's feel right! Had a chance to zero the sight a couple of days ago. I'm very pleased.

Very impressive Samuel. What distance/distances were they shot from?

My 1911 had a set of those finger groove grips on it when I got it. That extra material wrapped around the front of the grip frame made it just a little large for my hands so I replaced them with a set of rubber Hogue panels w/ palm swells in them. Like you say "they don't look as good as wood but they do fill the hand well".

Congrats on the sweet piece,
C.S.
