I now have a limited supply of BK Grip Adapters for the S&W J frame revolvers. Any color you want as long as it’s black. (Some shade of gray should be coming along soon, once we work out which shade will best suit the stainless and aluminum frames.)
Price is $20 (for Missouri customers it’s, $22.05) plus $5 for Priority Mail. So:
Non-MO - $25.00 total MO - $27.05 total
In order to keep orders from outrunning production capacity, INITIALLY I must ask that you email me an order at
[email protected] -
note, please use this email address, not a PM on the forum, as I use my email queue to manage orders. If I have your adapter on hand I will reply with email instructions for payment. If I won't be able to ship promptly I will let you know that, will keep your email in a first-come first-served list, and will send you payment instructions when I am in a position to deliver.
Please only one per customer at the start - see below for explanation.
Thanks for your interest.
FULL DISCLOSURE - PLEASE READ
There was a long thread on my development of these adapters at
BK Grip Adapters . You can take a look at that for background and some comments on the prototypes. In addition, please read the following stuff.
FITTING: There are reports of poor fitting on an M&P340 Scandium frame model. Until we can resolve whether this was an undersize sample or a slightly different frame size on that model gun, it’s probably best not to order one of these adapters to use on a 340.
COSMETICS: The new mold is making nice adapters, but there is a persistent problem with tiny bubbles at a few points on the edges. These are cosmetic flaws only. Basically, anything that you can feel when you're gripping the gun normally with the adapter attached will be smooth as can be, but if you look closely you will be able to see and feel cosmetic flaws on edges that you don't ever touch in regular use.
I'm offering these adapters as utilitarian devices for folks who want to improve the grip on a working gun. Please order and use one in that spirit.
I don't say this to turn you off. Just to let you know that these things aren't cosmetically perfect. They're the same quality that the beta testers have reported on the S&W Revolver forum. For example, if you look at the pix that Maximumbob54 posted on page 4 of the BK Grips thread, you can see some tiny irregularities at the top curve of the left side of the adapter. Those are the kind of cosmetic challenges I just can't seem to lick consistently with my current process, but which have absolutely no effect on the utility of these things. (If it helps, think of them as evidence that each adapter is individually made by hand - yours will be unique.)
PACKAGING: There is no “packaging” to speak of. These are mailed in a Priority Mail flat rate box. The adapter is in a zipper sandwich bag wrapped in a piece of crumpled copy paper to keep things from rattling around in the box. You can use the paper to start a barbecue fire, and reuse the sandwich bag for some non-food application.
CAPACITY: Initially, my production capacity is very limited - I can finish at most 30 adapters in a long day. If there is enough demand (I can only wish) I will switch to factory production for these models sooner than later.
But until capacity or inventory catch up, please only ONE adapter per customer at this time. When I get ahead on inventory I’ll be able to handle multiple orders.
ORDERS: I’m limiting orders at first to one apiece, so more people can get one. And I am not simply posting a PayPal address, because I do NOT want you to send payment for items that will take me an unreasonable amount of time to deliver. We all know where THAT kind of situation can end up.
I have 40 J frame adapters on hand at the time I’m posting this, and can make 20-30 per day if I keep at it. What I don’t want is to get immediate orders and payments for 500. So send me email orders, I will advise you of availability in the order the emails arrive in my mailbox.
Rest assured that if I actually GET orders for 500 I will invest the money to move to injection molding. That move might take a week or two (I will keep you posted on this thread) but will step up production to something like 60 per hour.
