Well that didn’t work out like I hoped

[Hertervillian]

Tried to swap grips on my stainless Single Seven. Ordered what I thought was the correct type, those fit for the Single Six etc.
The roll pin is far too high in my frame for these. Somehow I got the idea the S7 was just a S6 chambered for 327. Could anyone explain what I should be looking for? I've sent Hogue a message, but would like to be as informed as I could possibly be.

Isn't the grip frame "model" stamped on it?

I guess I didn't look, didn't know it was on there. Reckon I'll go look.

It's confusing, no doubt.

The Single 7 and single 6 ARE the same grip,XR3-RED.
The white Hoague is marked NEW VAQUERO ,,,,,,, It is a XR3, which is different.

I saw the new Vaquero mark the pkg indicated S6 as well. Perhaps the grips are in the wrong box?

Or were they one and the same in the past?

Package is marked Vaquero, Not New Vaquero.

The package is marked correct.

It appears the contents of the package are wrong.

Yes a S7 same/same S6, Blackhawk & Vaquero…

Not New Vaquero,,,,

There is a difference between Vaquero and New Vaquero.

Hogue will make it right, good company and customer service.

Typing is not my forte and I too get ahead of myself ..but
I know you meant to say XR3 sized grip versus the larger XR3-RED as a true XR3 grip will not fit the New Model Vaquero

Hogue will be sending out a replacement.

I had emailed them, got nervous so called. The email was in my spam box, wish I understood how's and why's of that filter. Customer service was as friendly as talking with a longtime neighbor. She understood the system and products as if she had designed it all herself.

Anyway I'm not done using Hogue for a source.
