The "Great Western" was a high quality US-made gun,
distributed and promoted by Hy Hunter (a gun distributor)
in California. The Hawes was
a good quality German import private label made by
J.P. Sauer & Sohn, also sold by Hy Hunter and others.
There are some J.P. Sauer guns roll stamped with the
"Hy Hunter" name, but the Great Westerns were not.
This and the 59a are similar grips, and may fit the same
models made at different times with slight variations
between their grip frames. Compare the dimensions given,
measure your gun, and determine which grip fits your
gun. I can't do that because I don't have your gun to
measure. They are not "all the same" just because they
have the same model stamped on the frame!
If you would like for me to determine the best fit, make
a good tracing around a set of grips that does fit, or around
the frame of the gun. A piece of 3 x 5 index card is ideal
for this, as I can cut it out and use it as a template for
checking the grip shape. Make sure it is accurate and fits
on your gun just like you want the grip to fit. Mark the
location of the screw hole. Then send the actual tracing
to me, not a fax or email image which will not print out
precisely enough, but a regular letter sent by post.
If you do that, you improve your chances of getting a grip
that requires very little fitting work and is large enough
to allow for a bit of custom fitting. If you don't, then
what you see here is exactly what you get as far as
dimensions. If it fits you gun, congratulate yourself on
making good measurements and ordering the grip that allows
for a bit of fitting.
(And if it doesn't fit your gun,
and you order it anyway without sending a tracing, guess who
gets to pay for shipping it back and for shipping a replacement
grip! I have no idea why a person would NOT want to send
a tracing to save themselves that cost and time, or why they
sometimes order a grip that is obviously too small for their
gun or even the wrong grip entirely, without bothering to read
and compare measurements...but sometimes folks make that choice.
I'll do whatever you indicate by your check
in the box above that says you are, or are not, sending a
tracing.)
Since the Hawes brand was made in Germany by the Sauer and
Sohn gunmaking firm, this grip may also fit a number of
other brands which were applied to the imports, or to the
Sauer & Sohn brand grips themselves. The name or brand
is far less important than the actual dimensions. There
may well be some Rugers and Colts that could use this
grip for all I know! The person with the gun is the one
who has the answer, given the dimensions herein shown:
- Front edge height (A) = 0.95 inches
- Overall height (B) = 3.12 inches
- Width of base (C) = 2.2 inches
- Width one inch above the base = 1.5 inches
- Thickness near the base = 0.68 inches
- Distance from mid-point of A to rear edge (D) = 1.8 inches
- Width of flat area at top (E) = 1.2 inches
Please note that this grip does not have a specific screw
hole location, and that the hole can be put where you
need it for your particular gun IF you send a tracing
that shows the hole location. It can also be used as a
1-piece grip (with spacer) if you so choose. However, if
you don't specify a location or send a tracing, and wish
to order the (default) 2-piece screw mounted version, the
hole will be approximately 1.48 inches from the base and
approximately centered front to rear.
