Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum, type 4 flattop Grips?

[weggert1]

I just purchased a 1959 Ruger Blackhawk but it has white plastic faux bone grips. I would like to purchase good used OE wood grips for this gun but cannot seem to find them on ebay or the web. Does anyone know where I can source these?

Thanks, Bill

Welcome to the Forum!
Look on the grip frame,, and if it's a Blackhawk,, it'll be marked "XR3" That's the correct grip frame for a 1959 Blackhawk.
And you have to get a set of the "old" XR3" grips,, & not the "new" XR3 grips to get a proper fit & all. The new ones can fit with a bit of locator pin hole adjustment.

Until you get more messages, you can check ebay and gunbroker for Old Model XR3 walnut grips.
