Ergonomically perfect.
Volquartsen target grip
Bought this for my Ruger mark II, The fit was perfect just needed to order the extended Bolt release.
Well worth the money
Very comfortable even in a long bullseye session. Makes the mkiii an easier to shoot pistol.
Great Grip Set
This is my third set. They fit my hand very well. The grip comes with the extended bolt release lever and has an extended magazine button on the grip. Just a good practical target grip.
Improve my bullseye score, however...
I have been shooting Rugers for over 30 years, but because of the factory grips that never agreed with my hand, I never used them for competition. I put the volthane grips, along with the Volquartsen accurzing trigger kit, on a Mark III, and I have now found my new competition gun. Love them. However, as someone else mentioned you will have to pull the hammer pin to install the extended slide release. There are plenty of youtube videos out there to show you how to remove and replace all these parts if you don't know how, so not too big of an issue. My big complaints the mounting screws are too long and counter sunk into the rubber grips too deap. There is very little rubber left to tighten the screws, and they will/do interfere with the clip.(requires modifying) The worst thing: The sear pin sits in a void cut in the grip. If this pin wiggles out the thickness of the frame, the sear will shift and make the gun a paper weight until corrected (requires modifying or take your chances). Nothing I would care to do at the range. The factory frames actually have a raised area to prevent this pin from moving. I personally like the grips enough to make the modifications, but a bit surprised/disappointed coming from Volquartsen.
Require Fitting.
Had I known they would require extensive fitting, I never would have bought them. We're talking a couple of hours. They will not mount to the gun as delivered. The gun will not function with the grips as delivered. Making them fit is difficult, and I may just throw them away. I modified some of the surfaces, and that makes them not returnable. The amount of work required, makes it more economical for me to just write them off, and toss them. I wasn't expecting this from Volquartsen. I certainly won't ever buy grips from them again.
A Bit Disappointed...
They feel great, no doubt, but I was disappointed to find that they really didn't fit my Mark III well. The center seams don't come together and I am left with a 1/16" gap under either my fingers or palm. You expect some amount of warping with a rubber/plastic piece and things my not align precisely, but not being able to fit around the frame is just unacceptable to me. Also, I would like to have had it stated up front that you will need to remove the hammer pin in order to install the (thankfully provided) larger slide lock lever.
