Just picked this up from Gun Brokers ( Model GP-340 ) The Hogue grips, to me, were pretty ugly...overly fat, too long, poor fitting. I did like the wood though so I decided to try and save them. First I removed about 1/4" from the bottom. I was actually able to reuse Hogue's attachment system with a shortened screw. ( messed up with a forstner bit so I had to use a flat washer instead of a ferrule ) I removed a lot of fat especially behind the hammer strap. Good news is that Hogue did not use any stain so I was able to just sand down to 400 grit and apply some True Oil. Last I cut some pockets and Installed ruger medallions. The grips still don't fit very well but I think I can live with them.
