I was originally going to make these match the other three but decided to go a different route. Instead of black pearl or micarta grips and a black leather rig, I decided to go with something more traditional and the leather will be a shade of brown. Arizona Custom Grips has lots of options and it was between the aged faux stag and the aged faux ivory. Obviously the stag won. For fake stag, these are pretty nice. They're heavier than most polymer grips and have a solid feeling. To me they look much more like the real thing than most other substitutes. The pattern is not random and is repeated on every set but at least the two panels aren't a mirror image of each other. Unfortunately, Ruger makes the Wrangler grip frame a wee bit longer than the rest of the XR3-RED and as a result, most aftermarket grips are going to come up short.
Contrast to the black grips I put on the other three.
