Angled grip for 457?
Is there any path for me to get an angled grip for a 457, rather than the typical straight grip? I know the 9mms came both ways.

Mike, if you're talking about a curved back, delrin grip like on the full sized 45s, your only option would be to craft a cut down, big dog/tercgen style grip from one of the full size grips.
All of the compact, 457/4516 grips were straight backed.

I found the Hogue rubber grip changed the angle a bit. Thicker and just a slight hump on the butt end.

Something like this? A grip cut down by Tercgen for my 457.

Heymatt, like that a lot… guess I have to figure that out.
Any insight into how he handled the hammer strut area? Looks like the original would be cut off.

When I get a chance I’ll put up some pics of what it looks like with the grips off.

Heymatt, what's the story on your sights? I don't see a front! Rear looks lower than mine.
