Tyler T Grip Adaptors

[Waveski]

I am looking for a couple of Tyler Grip adaptors , one each for a K and a J frame. Over the last few years I have heard indications that Tyler Co. is not reliable in processing orders ... What is the current status of that situation?

I have searched the online brokerages ; only found some on Ebay , which I usuaslly do not use.

Suggestions , please?

The last time I ordered from Tyler's it took so long to get my order that I had literally forgotten I sent it in. That however was at least ten years ago.

These days I just do a search for BK grips, and order from them. With Tyler I have to print out an order, write a check, send it in, etc. With BK's I can just go to their website, order, pay and have never waited more than three days for any order, usually only two.

Tyler's are metal. BK's are a type of "plastic" for lack of a better term. They're about the same price. I could go on, but I don't want to sound like an infomercial for BK's.

B&K are much more reliable...

 

[Waveski]

I shied away from B&K because the product is made of plastic , but I'd be glad to listen to a product review.

I've been using BK grip adapters for awhile and am completely satisfied w/their product & service. Tyler's not so much. My last Tyler's order, paid for up front, took a long time and my follow up calls were never returned.

I've only ever had one issue with eBay and I have bought hundreds of collectibles off eBay.

The one problem I did have PayPal refunded my money. I just hope they got their money back from the dirtbag that kept mine.

Tyler doesn't have the instant gratification sort of web based ordering many folks seem to demand to scratch their impatientience itch.

Grip adapters aren't the sort of thing that I need instantly: not a life saving drug or money.

I'm happy to be a bit patient in ordering them from Tyler and am ok with using old fashioned snail mail.

I've never heard of anyone being cheated by Tyler and not getting what they paid for.

Tyler isn't a huge automated business: they make their products in house, fill their orders reliably and make quality stuff.

I like BK, if you must have silver color, then Tyler.

I pick up Tylers when I see them, but I haven't written a check in at least five years. They need to get with the times.

I order BKs now. They look great, and their 2 clip system is more secure than the one clip set up on Tylers.

I don't always put a grip adapter on my magna stocks. But when I do it's a BK.

I ordered 2 grips adapters from Tyler's Tgrips last November. Was prepared for a long wait so I forgot about the order. Received the order in February. I have no problem with this and will be ordering 2 more soon. Walnut magnas and Tgrips are my style, man! Wish they would come sooner, but again, if you want legit Tgrips it's worth the wait.

for some reason I am unable to post pics even though I did the thing. When I click edit, the text for the image imbed is there but when I save, there's no image in my post. [url=https://imgur.com/a/CAUDDi9]Model 36 and Model 13 with Tgrips[/url]

Very well said, Rpg.

Tyler T-Grips are one of those things you go to gun shows for. You never know what may be in some dealer's $5 junk box.

Prompt c.s. and plastic vs cast aluminum aside , can anyone tell me if the additional attachment feature of the BK has any practical advantage over the Tyler?

Yes.

I have both. The BK is more secure. There is less side to side play.

I ordered from Tyler in early February. It took more than three weeks for them to even cash the check. That was more than three weeks ago. I figure that I'll probably get them by mid-to-late April. That's fine for me, because the gun it's going on is at Clark Custom getting fixed. I can wait.

I guess one can put lipstick on any pig, but if somebody offers stuff for sale, he should have the stuff to sell. Especially if he is not custom-building some sophisticated contraption, but a simple standard-sized and -shaped piece of material with attachment.

Tylers are ok if you can get them. BK's are fully satisfactory and they have great service. I still like the old Pachs for their smooth round surface rather than the two step surface that the Ty's and BK's have. Pachs wiggle a bit more than the others but if you remove the clip and fill the area with super glue and re-install the clip quickly the wiggling will stop. I have them all, but the old Pachs are for my hands the best.

I have Tyler's, BK's and a Pachmayr. The BK is on my Colt Detective Special and I've been very happy with it. But I really like the Pachmayr.

I ordered one in January and they cashed my check pretty quickly. No idea when it might arrive. Maybe I'll call and check next week. I do like them.
