Recently, I bought a Vaquero in .45Colt. Made in 1997, unused, like it just left the factory. Really like it, except for one thing - the grip. It's just way too short. I have the Old Army and while I knew the grips were not interchangeable, I expected them to be somewhat similar in size. They're not, the Old Army has about 10mm extra on the bottom, just enough to comfortably rest my pinky. The Vaquero feels somewhat like a kid's gun, compared to that. Is that normal, or was I "lucky" and got some stupid rare limited edition smaller grip model?
Also, if it's normal, is there any readily available grip that would extend the length? Looks like the Hogue overmolded grip goes below the original butt of the grip frame. While I like Hogue rubber grips, I'm not sure I want one on a "cowboy" style gun though. I could make an extended wooden grip myself, but with all the stuff I need to forge and carve for my customers, I'd actually prefer buying it.
