The best route is to buy a straight gripped gun.
The cobble together route is to :
1. Make sure the lower frame extension is not too downwardly angled for the higher stock of a straight gripped gun. Be careful about bending, they can break.
2. Have a straight gripped stock made, estimated cost $1500 for a V, higher for a D. Crappy ones look like canoe paddles and do not feel right. Make sure you get the double tapers right because they are different than a pistol grip stock. If you start with a pistol grip stock, again make sure you get the double tapers right, the checkering will be different, you'll need to sand it down and rechecker and then make sure the grip is not too thin because then it is subject to breakage.
3. Bend the TG tang, weld in an extension to the right length, file to shape, re-engrave, re-blue. Make the extra screw that a straight grip requires.
4. Be prepared for the loss in value of an altered gun.
