I've just come into possession of Ruger's 50th Anniversary Flattop .44 magnum. So far the results are not favorable and I am slightly regretting my purchase. It is a fine pistol; simply not for me.
Before I try and sell it I would like to test fire it using a more traditional style grip instead of the "gunfighter" style slimmer profile grips that came with it. Not knowing if I will be keeping the pistol, I'd rather not spend a large amount having grips made, so I am on the hunt for a more "Traditional" set of the New XR3 featuring something closer to Ruger's original factory contour, or any set of grips that could be easily modified to fit the New Model Flattop. If I shoot it and still don't like the gun, I'll not be out hundreds of dollars I'd have spent to make a new set.
I would appreciate a pm if anyone has a set squirreled away somewhere they're willing to part with reasonably. Thanks in advance.
