I appreciate everyone’s responses, there is so much to be learned on this forum! Installing the Super Blackhawk hammer was the first time I had a blackhawk apart, not too bad. A couple years ago Mr. Bill Kelly walked me through the disassembly of a pietta over the phone, something I am still benefiting from. As for the frame fitting, now I am wondering if I shouldn’t leave the frames on their original guns, and order one of Mr. Wells’ brass Keith #5’s. Decisions decisions.

Refitting a grip frame without refinishing or other major surgery is a gamble. You need the grip frame, which has been sanded to fit another gun, to still be oversized in all other dimensions.
I’ll add, Ronnie’s grips are an absolute bargain and more perfectly fit than you’ll ever get on a factory frame.

Good day Mr. Judge, if you don’t mind me asking, can you walk me through your reasoning behind your grip design? |

I can't take credit. I have a Dustin Linebaugh Vaquero where he did a similar rounded treatment on the factory grip frame and it feels great. I told Ronnie how perfect it felt to me, and he set about tweaking the design with the benefits of building the part from scratch. Add in some of Ronnie's preferred improvements and the PJ was born.
I think the problem is Ronnie has so many designs that finding names for them all is a challenge and "PJ" was convenient.
