Title: Grip frame
Post by: Holsterguy on February 28, 2021, 03:55:12 AM

Does anyone know if the gripframe on a Cimarron Thunderball is the same size as the Thunderer?

 :)  HA!!   ;)

YES!!  I certainly DO !!


NO.  They are NOT.  Close but no cigar.  The Thunderball is a Pietta and the Thunderer is a Uberti.  They DO NOT interchange.

Stay Safe

Since the Buffalo Brothers grips are oversize for needed fitting, it is "possible" that it might fit.  You could call them, they might know.  Maybe even ask them if they have a single reject panel they could send you that you could hold up to your grip frame to check out.  The Thunderball grip is thinner side-to-side than the Thunderer grip, but that shouldn't matter.

Thanks never thought about the reject panel!
