Favorite Single Six pistol grips?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It hit me the other day that I don't own a Single Six; some might argue that such an omission, in a revolver fan, borders on a moral failing. Reckon I'll pick up a 5.5" stainless number with the .22 Mag cylinder -- Ruger model number KNR5.
I ordinarily personalize my revolvers with aftermarket pistol grips or stocks. What do people like on the Single Six?
- The Ruger faux-ivory pistol grips look pretty good on the website - around $95
- Midway has dark Ajax "pearlite" pistol grips for $35 or so
- Eagle pistol grips' Gunfighter series includes nice-looking rosewood pistol grips for BH/Single Six at $60, or $80 with checkering.
Other thoughts?
Pics appreciated too, of course.

Posts: 488 I'm considering the Ruger faux-ivory pistol grips on mine too when I get the funds. Getting the 36 LS this week and hopefully a bodyguard sometime this year but I do want to treat my Single Six right. Mine's a 4" blue so you can imagine how pretty the ivory would look on mine.

Hmm. Dark laminated pistol grips for the "Super Blackhawk and Hunter" revolvers are available on the Ruger website for "$47.50 each."

I believe that means $47.50 for the set, not $95 for the set.
Question is whether these would fit a Single Six or not. But I think so -- SS just uses the Blackhawk grip -- and the SS Hunter is a "Hunter" and uses the same grip shape as the regular SS, so these should be the same size and shape as ordinary SS pistol grips.
Sorry, pardon the maundering. The upshot is that I think one can indeed get the "Hunter" pistol grips for one's regular Single Six. That would look cool, esp. on a stainless gun.

Posts: 2,022 I have a couple of cowboy single actions. I like the wood pistol grips on both, but will probably change somewhere down the road. I have purchased 2 sets of wood pistol grips from Houge, and 3 sets of wood pistol grips from Eagle. For the price, Eagle makes good quality wood pistol grips...
