Ruger Bisley grip frames

Bisley and all the others are in stock at Midway!

Dumb question... will these fit a New Vaquero? Midway's description says "Bisley Vaquero (Large Frame)".When I see "large frame", I think of the two digit prefix Blackhawks and Vaqueros not the smaller New Vaquero or three digit prefix frames.

Yes, that should fit the new mid frames. It will take a lot of fitting to get the sides and back to match up and flow smoothly. I have fit super Blackhawk Hunter gripframes to New Vaqueros and OM Single Sixes. That's about the same amount of fitting.

Super Hunter on New Vaquero.

Bisley on Blackhawk, just to illustrate fit by hammer.

I'm a little late here,, but the short answer is,, YES. ALL of Ruger SA grip frames have the same 5 screw hole pattern. All will bolt right on.

HOWEVER,, older grip frames will have internal "ears" that go into "slots" in the main frame that were used to potentially stabilize the 2 parts together. Ruger did away with the slots & the ears on later frames.

has anyone noticed that the grip frames seem to be factory seconds? last year i had to return 3 grips to midway to swap out due to someone getting happy with the grinding. they ground down too much and the cyl frame was way proud of the grips frames... got a new one last week and luckily it barely fit the cyl frame, but the grinding was still horrible...my 2cents.
