I haven't seen any in my area, but I was wondering if somebody is still making those alloy "grippers" (???)  that fit on the outside of the grip and in between the rear trigger guard?

I have a couple of J frame revolvers, as well a Model 10 revolver that I would like to these grippers since I tend to like a more fuller gripping surface.

Thanks for looking!!

Tyler T-grips?




They make them for J, K/L and N frames. However, they are out of business for all practical purposes. I had to resort to a WTB ad in the EE to find one for my J Frame.




A quick google shows up BK Grips, which is a similar design, though I have never heard of them. They appear to have adapters for J and K frames only.

I would suggest strongly against ordering from them at this time.

Tyler is back in business and currently filling backorders under new ownership. There's a huge thread on the S&W forum about this.

from what I understand the original owner of the company dies or something and whoever initially took over was screwing the pooch on customer service.
I can't imagine ordering and buying them at the current prices. Just about every gun shop I go into that has been around since the 1970's usually has a box of these things used from back when just about everyone was using wheel guns- I just sort through what they have and usualy buy them for 5 or 10 bucks
