Simulated Ivory Grips From Ruger?

[Glupy]

Has anyone purchased and installed the simulated ivory grips that Ruger sells at SHOPRUGER.COM?

I am particularly interested in whether they are wider than the cheese-grater grips and how they look on a blue revolver.

I realize that other makers have similar products too.

Thanks for the help.

They are the same size and just feel like plastic to me. I am going to post some pictures of grips made for me out of Corian. The guy that makes them is a true artist.

Altamont makes bonded ivory grips that are wider than factory grips and sell for $28.

I'd be interested to know about these as well. Are they just pure white or that "off-white" of ivory. Will they yellow with age or stay as new? Although I suppose that depends upon the amount of usage too...

Not big on ivory myself. The ones made from holly wood have a similar appearance and give a slight grain look to them. No plastic feel either.

Are they available for the Redhawk?

The Altamont grips are not white. I do not know how the grips age. The Altamont grips are 15%-20% thicker than factory grips.

Thank you all for the help.

I'll go with a non-plastic version, preferrable from one of the other forum members.

I have the same grips on my blued .44S Flattop and they are slightly wider than the original grips. They are not custom, but suit my purposes until I can get a true custom set. I also have a set a of Corian from 41 Magnum that are very nice that reside on my SS .44S Flattop.

Does anyone know if the Altamont Bisley grips are also thicker than the Ruger Factory Grips?
