S&W Grip Adapter for N-Frame - Fit Issues?

[CKPOMEH]

Hi folks -

I just purchased a S&W grip adapter for N-frame but the fit is not as snug and tight as I was expecting (I have a K-frame with a Tyler T grips and they are very snug). Can you take a look at the attached and let me know if:

1) Yes, those are supposed to look like this, or
2) Something is off here - the shape may have changed over time, I may have installed it improperly, etc?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Looks off to me, like it's warped. Never seen any brand of grip adapter that stuck out at the bottom like that as designed. They normally fit flush against the grip strap all the way down.

Looks like it needs to be slid up and moved in towards the frame. My experience with them is minimal. I am a target stock kind of guy! Bob

Yes, it is off...I agree with your point above, Tyler's fit so much better!

If anyone has a picture of a factory S&W N frame adapter on an N-frame and what a proper look may be, please post - I think it will confirm our observations above!

Wondering if that particular grip adapter was made to fit the longer pre-war N-frame grip? Any idea of the vintage of your grip adapter?
