Where to get Ruger MKII wood left hand grips?
As the title says...
Midway has the hogue hardwood grips with thumbrest but they are marked "spacial order 90+ days" and i would like something a little bigger. Anyone know another brand/place to get them? I know they exist since i had a chance to shoot someone else's heavy barrel MKII with left hand grips. Unfortunately, i doubt i will ever run into the guy again. I'd like something like this, made of wood for a left handed shooter. I'd really like finger grooves and a thumb rest. I've tried google and all of the online shops i know of (which isnt many) or like this trailside |

I was watching a show on OLN last week, not sure if it was ShootingUSA or American Shooter. Jerry Miculek was on there demonstrating his techniques and they also had a vendor of a grip that he was using that was interesting. It was a thumb locator grip that promoted proper hand placement and better trigger control. I know that one of the guns it was available for was the MK II. I think they were also available for left hand shooters. Bad news is I can't remember the company name that manufactures them. If I find the info or remember I will post.

Try here they have Walnut left hand competition grips. They are pricey though.

Nill Grips makes a grip like the Trailside. Ruger also sells grips for left-handed use on the Mk.II.

Thanks for all the replies. I was getting discouraged.
I think I might order from www.herrettstocks.com. They look like they are very good quality and they will make them to fit my hand which is nice since i wont be able to try them before i buy. |

Try the Ruger on-line store
darkvibe,
I just ordered some Hi-Viz sights for my Mark II from the Ruger On-line store and they sent me a catalog. They had some thumb rest left hand grips for sale, though I think they are laminated. Worth a look though. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/webapp...d=null&faNav=y |

Hmm. $50. I can live without finger grooves considering they are over $100 less than the others I was looking at. Laminate wood is not a problem. I just don't care for the rubber grips from Hogue or Volquartsen (Sp?) for target shooting.
thanks for the link. I think these are a winner. |

Here's a pretty set of wood wraparounds on ebay with a ruger emblem on them. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ruger-Mark-II-Fa...QQcmdZViewItem
