Dumb question about Birdshead Grips

[Sam Cobra]

I really love the Cimmaron Doc Holliday Thunderer

Problem is that I don't want to spend 1600 for one, and I want 38/357..now I saw these grips...

Can I buy a standard Vaquero and add these grips and have that same look? or is the frame different?

I know it is probably obvious to you guys but as a newbie I am not sure.  Thanks!

Howdy Sam,
First of all, the Doc Holiday rig does come in .38/.358 even though the website doesn't show that.  But it is still expensive.  You can buy the .357 gun alone in standard finish or nickle, wood grips or the Tru-Ivory grips.  And they also carry this gun made by Pietta, in standard finish or polished stainless.  The "Thunderer" grips on the Pietta version are slightly thinner.  As to your final question, yes you can buy a Ruger but if you buy a standard Ruger you will need to get a Ruger birdshead gripframe for it in order to mount the birdshead grips in your link.  I'm not sure if Ruger currently sells the short-barrelled model with birdshead grips already mounted.

No, the grip frame is different.
