Ruger Grip Madalions...
EBay $5.75 OTD last evening.
1/2" medallions.
With a little extra countersink, these should fit right into these slightly oversized 1/2" grip sockets.
A dab of epoxy for the hold.
What ya'll think? A little composite customizing

Re: Ruger Grip Madalions...
The sides of the LCP are quite thin in that location. Drill with care or you could end up with an air cooled mag well. Good luck!
Re: Ruger Grip Madalions...
I'm also thinking about painting the recessed RUGER in red.

If my measurements are right, the medallions should be about
flush with the grips.

Re: Ruger Grip Madalions...
Of course, next year, Ruger will come out with a Lipsey's Special version that already has red lettering and medallions...

did you see that there are 10 and 15 round magazines available for the lcp?
