You'll find the Ruger an excellent pistol. Which barrel length is a personal preference. I like & shoot the 5.5. As far as the grips go, that is a personal preference also. If you like the way the imitation ivory looks then it's worth the money. I liked the look of the wood grips that came on my Rugers so I haven't changed them out. In your question about the rifle, 30-30 is a rifle caliber and you must use a pistol caliber rifle for Cowboy Action Shooting. i.e. 45LC, .38special, .44special, 44-40 It makes it easier if you shoot the same caliber in your pistols & rifle.
