I received my Tyler T-Grips today -

[rockquarry]

Just wondering how many people who unmercifully castigate Tyler have ever done any business with them?

You have a point, but you probably won't hear from those guys.

I don't think the point is valid.

When there is overwhelming data, and especially when none of that data is even disputed here, why does one need to experience that themselves?

A wise person learns from others' mistakes.

One doesn't personally need to experience a 14 month delay with communication attempts ignored to form their own opinion of that experience.

Brian is a great guy - I know because I've spoken to him. Just as friendly as can be and makes a great product.



I got my grips today in the mail after 14 months and I was sent one # 1 grips (J-frame) in brushed aluminum and one # 2 instead of one # 1 and one #3R for my K/L frame.



So . . . if anyone has a # 3R Tyler T-Grip in brushed aluminum for a K/L frame and wants to trade it for a Tyler T-Grip #2, please let me know. Thanks.

Great guy not a chance. They are scumbags that have ripped members off here and on other sites waiting over a year and no communication or product received. No response to emails or calls. Tyler grips is the epitomy of a trash company that not sure how is still in business...

I believe you are correct. The owner(s) have full time jobs and do this in their spare time.

Still not a excuse or free pass. They are trash just like their company.

I'm surprised that China hasn't knocked these off yet. Or, have they?

Hahaha! China sucks and everything it has made does too... "They have ruined Amazon"... But-Surprised, "they" haven't make Tyler's out of Hiroshima aluminum... yet... BK's suck a "plastic-dugan" too but they have their fans as well...

 

[Fishslayer]

Well, I texted Brian, he apologized and told me to send it back for exchange - which I just did.

Will report.

Subscribed.

Where did you get this "overwhelming data"? Off the internet? We all know how reliable that is. Not to mention that people who are disgruntled are far more likely to post about it than those who are satisfied.

There have been numerous positive posts, and even the most negative ones grudgingly admit they eventually got what they ordered. Yes, Mom & Pop shops are less efficient. Throw in the extreme duress the Postal Service is experiencing right now and long delays are not surprising.

Your own words validate my post.
Here is a quote from you in reference to T-Grips (post 31):
"It's the ugliest and dumbest idea for a grip ever. It's actually a grip prosthetic as an attempt to make a terrible grip itself functional."
You are the poster boy for my post, because you don't even want one in the first place!

I ordered a BK grip adapter a few weeks ago, it arrived in a couple of days, the fit is perfect (K frame), and the price was reasonable. I'll definitely buy from them again...

Thanks for the "heads up" on the BK Grip Adaptor. I ordered one (for my M10-5 3") and picked it up today at the Post Office and I'm a VERY satisfied customer. I, also will definitely be buying from them again.

I like the T-grip in certain applications. I like it with magnas on a J-frame square butt. Nobody and I mean NOBODY makes a good compact/boot style grip for a SB J-frame.
I also very much like them on N-frames made before target stocks were available. They just look and feel right.
The last time I ordered from Tyler was at least 10 years ago, maybe more. IIRC I ordered 10 T-grips in various sizes. Even then it was something like 6-8 months before I got my order.
I've thought about ordering some since then, but tried to call first just to be sure my order would be filled. Never could get anybody on the phone.
They do pop up on e-bay or GB and such. You'll pay dearly for 'em, but you will get 'em.

Just a point of parliamentary procedure, but like the Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima ain't in Japan.

My dad swore by Tyler T-Grips. Pretty sure the first thing he did when he got a new S&W pistol was order or buy a couple. Back then, if you couldn't find 'em at the LGS, it was order form and USPS each way. Took months back then as well. We sold a couple dozen when clearing out the estate. They just don't fit my hand well, but I see where they fill a niche.

Many of us have been fleeced by the Tyler company over the past few years. We serve as a warning to others to never do business with them.

They're business practices are out-and-out fraud. When they say on their website that you'll get the product in three weeks, and it turns out that if you get it at all, it will be over one year, that's fraud.

Only by the altruism of the people on this board (and other S&W boards) by not reporting them have they not been shut down yet by the state. I got my money back, which is why I didn't report them.

Geography nor Nationality had and has little to do with what China does past/present and as such like states will continue to do; nor how they source such resources is all I was saying. But in jest, I generally agree with you.

I wish Tyler-T's, their company had a better reputation but they don't. Being such, their products are good "If/When" you can and do get them. Therefore, I source them from other sources when they are needed and never had a direct problem with them. To those that do, it sucks, no excuse for that kinda BS. I go out of my way to make sure I do what I say and I sleep well at night. "Companies" that don't shame on them.

I am a faithful buyer of Tyler T-Grips and in fact just received 3 in the mail yesterday for J Frames. I have several other grips from Culina to Spegels that I love but when it comes to old school cool nothing tops the magna and Tyler combo.

Since I have been ordering Tyler's there have been comments about the length of the wait. If you have ordered and not done your research then I have a hard time feeling sorry for you. I have ordered 5 or 6 times and I send in my check or money order and I just sit back and wait.

In my opinion it is well worth the wait!

Brian received the one I sent back and told me (sent me a picture) of the posted envelope of the one he had already replaced it with. Should receive it today.

Listen, this might be a PIA but this guy has really gone out of his way to call me and text me in order to make this right. I'm not going to complain about that.

Please forgive my cynicism, but what you're calling "out of his way" is what most small businesses call "normal routine."
I'm not one to bash businesses because there are so many variables that we don't see as consumers. I get it. But a few seconds to shoot off an email or a text is nothing in comparison to the tons of goodwill it adds to a company's reputation. The folks behind Tyler T's don't seem to care about that. Frankly, I'd just as soon make my own before I'd try to do business with them (and "Try" is an apt definition.)
That said, congrats on getting at least part of your order.

It appears the T grip is a hobby business.

Yeah, their hobby is collecting peoples' money, and not being in any hurry to fulfill their own obligations.

No kidding, their instructions include a phone number that is never answered, a phone mailbox that is always full, no response to texts, and their quality is nil!

I'm glad to hear you got a refund.
