When Davis retired he sold the moulds to Safariland but the never made the grips. Davis and his wife bought moulds back...

    Sig Sauer 1911-22

    If you need springs or other parts contact GSG importer. I talked to Sig at Shot Show a few years ago and Sig rep said Sig does not have parts and he did not know how to get them. I found GSG on web and ordered springs.

    "Farrant-Clipped" Revolvers

    There are people in the collector field who find that guns have been modified by the user to make the gun perform better for the task they were going to use it for is a sacrilege. Roper sights and King ribs come to mind. Most of the work that the L.A.P.D. officer/grip crafter did were for men...

    Picked up my 642UC

    Shop got an allocation and offered it to me .First impression barrel straight and XS sight glows in the dark. Trigger pull becomes hard just before hammer falls, I think that will wear in. I am not a fan of VZ grips they do look will replace before I shoot it.
