I've been thinking about getting some Hogue wood grips for my stainless Mark II (Pau Ferro - looks like dark walnut). Anyone have experience with the smooth grips? I like the price (less expensive than the checkered) and how then look. I'm a "casual" shooter -- mostly "popping" at small varmints and plinking.

I have made a lot of grips for the Ruger 22. I have made them in both checkered and uncheckered configurations. I have shot both styles and can't really say one is better then the other. My personal 22 all have checkered grips mainly because I hunt small game with them I like haveing the extra techture in the cold. I seem to get a better hold on the gun. The other ting I have noticed it is easier to get a more consistennt hold with the checkered some of the smooth grips my hand tends to slide just a little.
Now keep in mind this is just my expiereience with them. I would say get the the smooth if you like the look later if you want you could always have them checkered. Steve

Depending on what you want it usually runs about 2 weeks. Some times it is longer depending on what else I have going then. Most of the woods I have run $45 shipped. A few of the rarer woods go $55 Shipped. there is a really great wood supply store here in Omaha last time I counted I have over 200 different woods at my disposal.

I have smooth factory walnut grips on my Mk II. I like them and have no problem with them. They are thicker than the standard grips and that is why I like them.

I've tried all sorts, and found that Herrett ambi checkered walnut grips suit me best on my MkII.

Have you had the occasion to make any grips for the MKIII512RP? I just picked my RP up yesterday and am already looking for some thicker grips. I tried the ones from my CD 1911 and they fit and fill the hand. 1911 specific' grips however would need some minor mods to use on the MK III 22/45. The 22/45 grips are roughly 3/16 thick and are flat whereas the 1911 grips are approx 11/32 and are rounded.
tquil, I have "smooth" slightly oversize grips with a thumb rest on my MKII and I like the smooth over the checkered because it allows my hand to readily manuever the gun and pick up the sights for a faster 2nd shot at critters! I have shot a lot of "critters" with it and the checkered's I had on it previously did not allow as quick a 2nd shot........................Dick :wink:

The MKII grips are what Larry calls "fine checks" and "chunk" because they are thicker than stock.
