This is a spacer which is placed between the gun's frame
and the grip panel, to increase the effective thickness and
also to allow a slightly smaller size grip to fit better on a
slightly larger frame. It is about 0.170 inches thick (1/8-inch
is 0.125 inches) but you can sand it to desired thickness by
rubbing in circle motions on a secured flat piece of 180-grit
sandpaper.
- Top front edge height (A) = 0.91 inch
- Overall height (B) = 3.07 inches
- Width across base (C) = 2.23 inches
- Middle of front edge to rear edge (D) = 1.81 inches
- Top flat area (E) = 1.1 inches
The spacers are sold as a pair (2 panels) at the price
shown. They have standard screw holes but since the spacer
is only visible at the edges when installed, you can easily
drill another hole to match your grips if these do not.
The edges are beveled so that a grip that is just a little
small in width or height for a specific frame can be blended
to a comfortable fit and pleasing appearance. Light edge
sanding with a fingernail sanding board (medium and fine
grit) is the easiest method I've found to shape and fit
any grip to a frame, or to touch up the spacer so it matches
the edges of the frame exactly.
You can order the spacers in pure white, ivory, black (ebony),
or any other color you wish. The spacer is most attractive
to me when it is a strong contrast to the grips rather than
matching or slightly different shade or color. For instance,
an ivory or aged ivory grip looks striking with an ebony
spacer, or even a blue, red, green or purple spacer. A dark
colored grip, such as a walnut burl or ebony, looks very
nice with a pure white or an ivory spacer between it and
the steel frame.
This spacer was designed for the New Vaquero or New
Blackhawk but there is enough variation between example
guns so that you should check the dimensions and not just
rely on the model name -- apparently Ruger doesn't make
them exactly the same shape and size as time passes, even
if the model name doesn't get changed.
As always, if you send a tracing, I can see if your tracing
matches or is slightly smaller than the spacer or grip you
order. If you don't send a tracing, I have no way to tell
what size your gun may actually be...yeah, I know it's
SUPPOSED to be the same as every other gun with the same
model name, but guess what! -that seldom happens. If you
check the box saying you are NOT sending a tracing, I'll
have to depend on YOU to check the dimensions listed and
be responsible for ordering or not ordering depending if
they match your gun. Bottom line is, don't get upset if
you don't read the info, don't pay attention to what you
are getting, and just buy because it "looks the same" in the
picture and -surprise! -your gun isn't the same exact size.
I really can't do anything about it without a tracing from
you - it's so easy, just remove the grips from your gun,
place them on a 3 x 5 inch index card and run a pencil around
the outside, then poke a little hole through the screw
hole to mark the spot on the tracing. Mail that to me (not
fax it, not email a picture of it - send the real thing by
mail so it isn't distorted by reproduction). I can cut it
out and use it as a template. It's that simple.
