Ruger GP100 compact grips???
Any recommendations for a compact grip? I just ordered a 3" GP100 and the grip in the picture looks pretty big, too big for my liking. Thanks in advance!

Check out Badger Grips. I've got them on my Security Six and soon to be SP 101. Eagle Grips have good looking grips also.

The compact version of the grip is a winner in my book.

Dan-O beat me to it for
a compact grip straight from Ruger. The same grip design is also offered in a larger size that is about the same depth as the standard issue Hogues but is not as big front to back and the corners are rounded like the compact. Also check out Altamont Ruger GP 100 grips; they're a bit fancier. |

+1 on Altamont grips.

Yep! I use the compact on the 3" GP100, which I carry, and the full size on the Match Champion, which I do not carry but shoot regularly at the range.

"...in the picture...too big for my liking..." This is exactly why you need to try a firearm on for size before spending any money. Anyway, GP's all have the same grips regardless of the barrel length. Same grip fits a Super Redhawk. And there are lots of aftermarket smaller grips.
Lot of 'em are not exactly cheap though. 'Pretty', they are. https://www.eaglegrips.com/60-ruger-...-redhawk-grips

Those Altamont compact snakeskin pattern grips would be my choice:

That picture looks to me like my full size rather than compact. This pic is a 41 Special conversion.

Yessir RealGun those are the factory compacts that take the same size panel inserts as the SP101s.
Have a set on my GP100 44 Special and as soon as my youngest saw them he begged me for a set for his 6" GP100... and got them. The factory compacts are perfect for my liking.
