Got another reply with an answer, I guess, about finger groove grips being legal. From what I am reading in his email, it's the "pre-worn" grips that are legal.
My question is how do you tell the difference?
Hi again,
I have been in contact with SASS and here is their reply:
.........................
The ROC ruled a few years ago that the Cimarron Uberti "Rooster Shooter" RS410 with factory finger-groove grips is LEGAL due to the "worn" grooves replicating JW's actual revolver.
Some of the aftermarket versions of the grips are NOT "pre-worn" and are considered "grip-enhancing" and ILLEGAL.
Takeoffs from the Rooster Shooter would also be legal.
....................................
So, I have looked up pictures of the various "Rooster Shooter" grips sold by Cimarron. They have switched suppliers several times, and have had a difficult time getting a good grip that would hold up from what I was told. Our Magna-Tusk grips have fingergrooves about as deep as some of the other Cimarron grips. I did see some Cimarron grips that had finger grooves shallower (as I said, they are pretty much all over the board). Our finger grooves are "worn in" before the grips are aged. So, bottom line is, you should have no problem with them whatsoever. If you were worried about it, we could make a pair with more shallow grooves, but that would be up to you. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Davis
