What's the Story on Revolver Grip Adapters?

druryj · Jul 26, 2019

Does anyone know the history or the story about the various revolver grip adapters? I know they have been made by S&W, Pachmayr, Mershon (or is it Pachmayr/Mershon?), Tyler, and now BK Grips. I think the only two left are Tyler and BK Grips as of now. :anyone:

The Tyler is still the most sought after by revolver toters, but Pachs can still be found, relatively cheap I might add. But yeah, I've had a gozillion of Tylers over the years. My model 19 snub wears one. I just love em. :heart:

One of my first jobs as a kid was Tyler T Grips on Britton Road in OKC. Polishing aluminum T grips using a pair of modified pliers to hold them against the buffing wheel. I would go home with black face before it was considered not politically correct.

That was a cool little shop. All those boxes to sift through. Spent some time there back in the day. Can’t tell you how many t grips I’ve had over the years.

His Ivory-X grips were like real ivory.
He mixed powder ivory with resin and molded grips.
(They aged like real ivory)

Man I loved that place too. I wish I had some his ivories still; they were awesome, and as said above, would age beautifully.
