I have Volquartsen RH target grips for my MKIII Hunter, along with pretty much ever other aftermarket VQ part for it:
Found it all at www.rimfiresports.com. By far the best mod is the drop-in target sear.

Hogue's Mark II grips should work just fine on a Mark III (or a late-model Mark I if you use the included spacer.) Pretty much any decent gun shop should have them in stock. I got mine off the rack at Four Seasons.
Not my gun, but these are the Hogue grips on a MkII. As you can see they shouldn't interfere with the magazine release on a MkIII

+1 on these grips. I have them on my Hunter and the hold is very nice.

Very true. I put one in mine months ago and the trigger is sweeeet now.
I have some a/m plastic grips that have a thumb rest but I don't remember the name. I'll check it out later tonight. I know I bought them from Brownells.
Volquartsen Volthane Target Grips Ruger Mark 3 Right Hand I have large hands and like them. I bought them off of a guy who has smaller hands and the palm swell was useless to him.
target sear

Have you taken your MK III down to the last pin yet? That's another thread entirely. ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
It's difficult if you haven't done it before. But what it does is replace the original factory sear with a slightly modified, polished one and a sear sping bent at a lesser angle, to lighten up the trigger considerably.

Do they make one for the Mark I ? (wishfull thinking)
Basically, you tear the gun down to parts, pull the old sear out, drop the new one in, and reassemble. Lots of people can't even handle breaking down a MKIII so I can't comment on difficulty as i've never found anything remotely difficult related to the gun. I refuse to call something hard if all it takes is a basic ability to follow directions closely.
Its just a nicely altered sear that drops the trigger pull, makes it very smooth and break cleanly. A guy at my club who has a nice pardini asked me how much I paid for my trigger job and was shocked that it was a drop-in part and not a pro gunsmith job....
Can someone confirm this?
I want to make sure that Hogue grips made for the Mark 2 will fit a Mark 3.
Thanks guys

They will. The only difference between MkII and MkIII grips is the magazine release. As you can see in the picture the Hogue grips don't cover the magazine release like the VQ grips do.
My recommendation: bring your MkIII to your preferred local shop and ask the guy behind the counter if you can try them on. It takes 4 screws and about 2 minutes to put them on.
Yes, they make sears, hammers etc for Mk I, II and III's.
The parts are excellent and the trigger will be very nice afterwards - stock trigger leaves much to be desired.

Wow. Really nice grips tiktock. I need to get into grip-making!
Me too. I've seen people charging OUTRAGEOUS prices for 1911 grips, especially since most of them require almost no skill to produce and can be done with minimal tools. (benchpress, hacksaw, sandpaper and buffer)
Now i can justify buying a 1911 simply to tell my wife I need to use it for fitting and making custom grips...i wonder how many sets i'd need to make to offset the cost of a new 1911...hmmm.....
