RUGER RX-3 RED GRIPS
« on: May 15, 2013, 02:12:53 AM »
I like the looks of the hard rubber diamond grips currently used by Ruger. Anyone  know of a grip very similar to this for the RX-3 RED frame?
Thanks, hughd

Why get something similar when you can get the real thing from Ruger.

Ruger customer service informed me that they do not offer that grip panel for the RX-3 RED frame ???

So far the best thing I have found is a Hogue Monogrip.  They are soft rubber and only about $20.

There are a lot of aftermarket grip manufacturers for the Ruger SA's.  I know I have seen black plastic / black buffalo type grips out there for the XR 3 RED grip frame.  Time to hit the Google search.  Here is a link to one place that has a nice selection.

Hugh, sorry about that, I thought sure Ruger would sell them. I like those grips too and have a pr. of single sixs with that grip but must have got them from someone who didn't like them. Lot's of folks with big hands don't like them.  H08
