Finger Groove grips

Uncle Ethan:
Didn't see anything in the rule book about this. Are revolver grips with finger grooves legal for SASS?

***************************
UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 2018:  Grips with finger grooves are now illegal in SASS, including the Cimarron Rooster grips that were previously allowed.  See this thread on the SASS Wire: https://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/271315-rooster-shooter-grips/

This is all I could find so I don't think it is conclusive. I don't think what you are talking about would be considered a target grip.

From RO1

Grips or stocks of simulated or natural materials are acceptable provided they are not
customized to constitute a ―target‖ grip or stock. That is, they must be of the same basic
shape as grips or stocks found on original firearms.

I am referring the John Wayne finger groove grips.

This must have been a topic for discussion on the TG Wire lately because I just this very day got an email regarding this topic from Allie Mo, who is a TG and often sends out rules clarifications she learns about.

Her email:

----------------------------------

According to PaleWolf, spokesman for the RO Committee, the following two grips are examples of illegal (for SASS) grips.

 




The following is a legal grip. The gun is called The Rooster Shooter. More information may be found at the following Website. http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/rooster-shooter-45-colt-4-3-4-by-uberti.html



Bottom line - The ONLY "finger-groove" grips that have been approved are those on the Uberti "Rooster Shooter".
NONE of the aftermarket versions have been found to be legal...
FWIW - NONE of the aftermarket manufacturers have ever applied for a ruling, either.

---------------------------

Makes little sense to me, but there you are....

Uncle Ethan:
