Question on Pachmyr Grip filler

[Retired W4]

I picked up a post war 38 M&P yesterday that had the Pachmayr Gun Wks. grip filler installed. My question is what is the significance of the 2L marking in the crook of the device? I'm guessing it has to do with frame size but that is just a guess, More on this interesting gun later.

Now I'm more confuse Sargent. My adapter was on a round butt K frame. Here are a couple pictures of the piece.

Got that chart from an eBay advertisement. Have not found much information about grip adapter application. When I saw this chart took a screenshot and put in my Revolver file.

I'm now wondering if that chart is for Tyler-T adapters and maybe not for Pach's. I know nothing about them.

That chart does not match the Tyler T chart I have, not even close.

Tom, I'm not much help here...I looked through my as-yet-unmounted grip adapters and found boxed 5L and 6L Pachmayrs, but not a 2L...I may have one already on a gun, but since all my guns are bagged, tagged and stacked in the safe, I won't know what's already on a gun until the next display opportunity...I think the Mershon, Pachmayr & Tyler adapters used similar sizing designations but not necessarily the exact same...I have also found that those marked with a size don't always fit the gun they are listed for...None of that helps your search for your own, but may add to the general knowledge... ...Ben

Once upon a time I got a “deal” on a couple of dozen NOS Pachmayr grip adaptors in their little red boxes. I’ve only had them about 25-30 years… maybe I should sort them out to see if any are useful.

The adapter code is 2 = firearm fit L = hand size

I posted an 8M here, see post #3 for the decode

I have a bunch of Tyler T and older pachmayr grip adaptors in my junk box. Is there a chart or thread somewhere that lists the various size codes for these? Especially the older pachmayr?
