Is is possible to get different grips for the Uberti's, as in aftermarket?

Howdy Dakota,
Bear in mind that a new gripframe from VTI or Cimarron should bolt up to your frame, but will likely need some fitting.  The replacement parts I've seen tend to be "oversized", meaning the backstrap will be a little wider than the gun frame and the ears at the top on either side of the hammer may be a little tall.  Might be just a little mismatch that you can live with or you might need to do some filing/polishing/blueing.  Or maybe you get lucky and it is a perfect match  ;D

From VTI you can buy the entire assembly (backstrap/triggerguard/grips) together.  But note that they have both the "birdshead" (rounded grip) and the "Thunderer" (rounded back with the "hump" at the top).  The parts are somewhat expensive.  If you haven't bought the gun yet you might consider just paying more up front and buying a Thunderer.

Good luck.
