Tyler T-Grip

Anyone ever do business with them?? If so do you have a phone number or e-mail address for them as the only thing on their web site is a PO Box in OKC, OK. I sent a check to them along with an order form in late March and the check hasn't cleared and no t-grip.

Wow! I didn't think those folks were still in business with all of the various grip configurations that can be bought these days. You must be an ol timer and remembered how it use to work and wanted to duplicate it now. At least it seems you'll be successful. I usually plan a long drawn out project based upon old gear that actually is "No Longer Made" and I just find out too late. Good luck on your search. Smithy.

I have had guns with the t grip already installed but have never purchased one myself. It was common 40 plus years ago to have a t grip to get better control than with stock grips but with less bulk than target grips.

There is a web site for them and all it has is a PO Box. Actually I went back and checked and it was early May that I sent the check but the fact it hasn't cleared the bank makes me wonder if they got it at all of if it's stuck in a drawer somewhere. Thats why a phone number (or e-mail address) would be nice.

Smithy:

I have an old Charter Undercover 38 and it would be idea for that revolver. The trigger guard bites the middle finger pretty good during recoil but the t-grip wouldn't change the grip profile for pocket carry. It is a ideal revolver for pocket carry as it just disappears when you use it with a pocket holster.

I ordered a trigger shoe for a Krieghoff last year and it took T-grips a couple more months than anticipated to manufacture and cash my check also. When I ordered I had to call them and it took several calls for them to answer. When I did get through I could hear a lot of machining etc. in the background and was told the noise is why the phone often goes un-answered. They are a mom and pop operation and do all the work themselves in-house. They get delayed because they try to get enough orders of similar metals to be able to order in bulk, supply is slow and they do many of the same kinds of projects in a group before re-tooling for the next batch of products. It's been a while, but I will look for their phone number and post it for you.

Thanks. I'll give it a try next week. I don't mind doing business with a mom and pop outfit as I'd much prefer that to buying from China. It's just my check hadn't been cashed so I was worried it got lost in the mail and I wanted to get the grip. Your experience sounds similar so thats good to know. It's only $30 in total so it isn't like a major amount at risk.

Any luck contacting them?
I sent them a ck. for a set of polished bronze t-grips for my KRH-444, but since it's bronze I'm expecting a longer lead-time than usual.
Sure would be nice if they were more communicative. If it's going to take two months, let me know that it's going to take two months!

Regards,
M.R.

I got several weeks ago. Quick turnaround I thought, and fit extremely well!

Well, it wasn't two months, more like two weeks! I just got the package today and am very happy with how it feels.
There is quite a bit of gap between the bottom inside of the insert and the front strap of the gun , but the finish on the piece itself is very good. Looks like it needs a bit of fine tuning from the mfg.r, although I doubt that will happen.
Oh well, I bought it primarily for the modiffied grip it offers, and for ~$30 it's not bad.

Regards,
M.R.

Update:
Finally got to shoot with the T-Grips this evening (7/24). They are superb! I am very happy with them. The grip fits my hand better, the percieved recoil is lessened and it looks great. Plus the company's turn-around time was excelent. I highly recommend this product (no affilliation).

I ordered a t grip last fall, #3R shiny black. Got it in about 2 weeks. I guess it depends if they have the size, & finish in stock.
