Match Champion Grips?

czf · July 10, 2014, 05:39 AM

As one who has had a SP-101,Speed Six, LCR, and Wiley Clapp Ruger .357.

I'm pretty impressed with the Match Champion that I checked out the
other evening.

Except for the grips.\\I think they could have put the
GP-100 Hogues on it and dropped the price $100.

Does anyone have recent pics of their MC with different grips?

Also, I think the trigger, at least in SA.. was better on my WC.

The Match Does have better balance (to me) than the shorter
Wiley .357, but I will look for a used MC after my LCP Total Carry
package sells.

With the low pricing on LCPs (without the CT laserguard and IWB+Acc)
it might be a while. I'm not set to lose another $200 on a gun though.

We have to pay a sales tax on any internet guns these days, and $35
transfer fee, then the highway robbery for shipping a gun.

Anyhow, post your Match with different grips.

Those actually are Hogues, just without the finger grooves.
There are numerous alternatives, if you look around.

After a trip to the range I switched out my MC grips.

These seem to fit my hands better and the groups got tighter using them.

Need to get some nicer inserts. The gun is definitely worthy.

Member here with handle 1chig used to make inserts. They are really nice and not expensive. Don't know if he is still doing that, but maybe you can look him up and see.
