Power Custom Grip Frame Questoin

[Harley Starr]

In the Brownells catalog there's an interesting item called the "Power Custom Ruger SA Colt-Style Grip Frame". The catalog states that it's a two-piece frame. I'm interested in getting a pair of these for my New Model Blackhawk and Old Model Vaquero. However I'm not sure if the two-piece construction allows for one-piece grips. What do you think?

The two piece construction does not allow for a one piece grip.  The method for retaining the main spring in the frame precludes a one piece grip.  You must be able to remove the grip panels and pin the mainspring before you take the grip frame itself apart.

The Set/Oct 09' issue of American Handgunner has an article about the Power Custom that tells a different story.
