GP100 - Talo

[mg2112]

Recently purchased a GP100 Talo - Model 1790. Love it, beautiful revolver. Can anyone recommend a set of grips? Need something
a little bit larger. Thanks

I've not found grips better than those …….

Looks like the TALO has the GP compact grips, and @hittman is recommending the full size stock grips. Available from Ruger or most parts houses, or post a WTB here in the Classifieds.

Nope, my GP has the Compacts too ….. granted, they DO look bigger than the Talo's. Maybe they're smaller than mine, I don't know.

I recommend getting some custom inserts from Chigs grips.

Hogue rubber. Have a 6" with them, and they are great.

Altamont came out with grips this year for the GP100 that are very similar to the ones that came on my .327 Mag 5-1/2" GP100. They are very nice in my opinion. I will probably buy more of them. I wish Ruger would sell the smooth ones that came on the .327, I believe they source them from Altamont anyway.

Here is one of my GP-100's with the new Altamont grips.

These are the grips that I mentioned above that came on my .327.

I have the same wheelgun and it is phenomenal. Balances well, I think, for such a short barrel. The compact grips work well for my hands but then I have those carney hands that you see on people working at the fair. But that's one of the many nice things about revolvers, right? You can change them out for something that works well FOR YOU. Enjoy!

Those Altamonts are the best looking wood I've seen on a GP

I believe the wood grips look better, but don't give you the non slip grip that the rubber grips do.

If you are going to shoot full power magnum loads and you are looking for comfort I would suggest Hogue "Tamer" grips, they handle recoil better than any other grip I have tried. If you are looking for wood grips I really like those Altamont grips that hporter has. I also like the Hogue wood grips that I have on my GP100.

I have tried several of the rubber grips on my GP's. I seem to prefer the compact ones on the short barreled GP 100s.

Here is a zoomed out view of the photo above.

On the upper left is the 4.25" .327 wearing the full sized factory grip. The 44 special GP 100 on the upper right has what I think is a Houge grip. It is comfortable. The Wiley Clapp and the 3" GP on the bottom are wearing the compact grips.

I can't find a photo of them, but I also tried the Ruger Match Champion wood grips that I bought from their website with one of those coupons they include in the box with a new gun purchase. They felt fine and I shot well with them, but I didn't find them aesthetically pleasing to look at. Not that it matters what they look like, but they seemed to make a good looking revolver appear awkward to me.

But to be truthful, a lot of these will be replaced with the Altamont grips over time. I prefer the full sized wood grips for my hand size.

The grips that came with are the ones meant to be on it. Love those grips
