Big Dog CS9 & CS45 Grips...

I have carried a CS 45 for many years. I bought it new. These grips look nice, I will investigate them further.
 
Has anyone ever thought of or tried to use a 3d printer to make grips for the cs series pistols? I've seen what 3d printers are capable of and would think it could be done. I plan on getting a cs45 at some point in 2016 and when I do I will try and get a set made. Ill keep you fellows posted.

Literally the smartest thing I've read on the internet in quite some time!!

Damn Fine Idea!!
 
I sent an email and asked about the grips. Gearl said NO GRIPS are available. I assume that means now and in the future.
 
I sent an email requesting to buy a set for my CS9 on 11-12. I still have not heard back from him.

The KSD Grips are beautiful, and the manufacturer/supplier is very responsive to email messages.

Sorry that I have to go in this direction, guys, but someone must. I've been a member here for a while, and remember always feeling the warm fuzzies whenever anyone mentioned the quality of Big Dog's grips or the joy of actually dealing with the gentleman.

I, myself, have recently had to retire due to medical reasons, and although I have no reason to suspect this is the cause of Big Dog's not making grips anymore, I would not rule it out.

I have not met the man, but based on his reputation, I'd say he deserves a kinder send off than a bunch of old ladies fighting over leftovers after Christmas in Bloomingdale's basement.

Those of you who got Big Dog's grips, you are fortunate, but we ALL should say "Thank you, Big Dog".

this is the last photo I have left of my once owned CS9D.

Yes, I will take the rocks in my face for getting rid of it.

I made my own grips using a set from 3913

a Hogue grip plastic main spring housing

3913 main spring/grip pin

dremel, sandpaper

and beer

IIRC, the hardest part was drilling or burning the holes in the grip to line up with the mainspring/grip pin. I measured many times and re-measured again to make sure it was perfect.

grind off the inner mainspring holder in the grip as the Hogue mainspring housing will do the job now.

Since the 3900 frame is somewhat round at the beavertail where the CS9 frame is square, it will never fit perfectly, but close.

you have to make sure your grip is square with the top of the frame to ensure your side plate is covered by the grip.

Also the mag release notch in the grip will not line up with the mag release in the CS9. I just took my dremel and made it a little bigger and move the notch up.

Scribe the bottom of the grip from the inside up against the frame and cut with a hacksaw blade or dremel cut off wheel.

get several ruffy 3913 grip panels in your stock just in case you mess one up. I bet there are plenty of 3913 grip panels in junk bins at gun shows.

Thanks for the info.
 
I just picked up a one piece 3913 grip, that I will attempt to modify to fit my CS9. Could someone with Bigdog grips on a CS9 post some pictures of the inside of the grips? Are bigdog grips 1 or 2 piece grips? And confirming that the Hogue grip screws cannot be used?
Thanks
