Thanks, that's what I tried and it works, I'm just always looking for a better way. It works, but I guess I'll just never love it. This is going in my carry rotation and I will shoot it but not every week so it won't be to bad.

Rough grip ? I'm sure you know this but hit it ever so softly with some fine sand paper .

Nice pistol and I like the grips too. Lucky dog you are .

Check this out:

Supposedly works on other brand 3" bull barrels. Might be worth contacting them and see if they make one for the RIA

That's a good idea Arley, I may give it a try. In the mean time I had these grips from Altamonte Company sitting in a drawer so I thought I'd give them a try.

Thanks Xbonz I sent them a message to check. Looks pretty good if it will work.

Thanks Arley, tried the sand paper and it did the trick. Put the original grips back on. I do like the look of them.

Rvrctyrngr knows. While I was sleeping last night I was thinking about this and remembered talking with him about it at one of Brownie's classes. He is not on here much but can find him over at that alleged forum.

I hope Rvrctyrngr pops up with an answer, I'd love to find a better way for the long haul.
