Ruger Blackhawk Grips on a Dragoon?

Tdmoparguy, the Colt Dragoon is made for one a on piece grip... the Ruger Blackhawk like the Ruger Old Army ROA are two seperate side grips the screw to each other and have a locating pin... that's why thay won't work/fit...;)
 
You can use two or piece grips on a Colt open top. In fact many are three piece, the two grip panels glued to a center spacer.

The ROA grip panels are smaller than the Dragoon grip panels.
 
...that's why they won't work/fit...
They won't work because they won't work. Completely different shape and length. The Dragoon is significantly larger. Not to mention the lack of a locator dowel.
 
The locating pin isn't a biggie but the Dragoon would look funny with two piece grips. The being to small is a biggie. Last I heard wood was pretty hard to stretch.:D
