Thank you, you saved me typing out essentially the same response.

Tyler T-Grips were an *old school* solution to fill the space behind the trigger guard to position your finger more in line with the trigger (and keep your middle finger from getting beat by heavy recoiling rounds). It also let you keep the smaller *magna* style grips. Even General Patton had the S&W version on his famous 357 magnum with the 3 1/2" barrel and ivory (magna) style stocks. Less expensive than buying custom stocks like the *Ropers* a la Skeeter Skelton.

No Luck with the Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General

Scratch filing a complaint with the Oklahoma AG's office. Got a letter from Peggy Paddyaker Investigative Analyst stating that *we have no authority over matters of the nature.* So it seems that the USPS mail fraud route is the only option.

I ordered a T grip adapter for my Model 63 the first of January. They cashed my check promptly, and I have not heard from them since. They have no email, never answer the phone, and ignore snail mail inquiries.

The only conclusion one can draw at this point, is that they have gone out of business, except for cashing checks and keeping the money.

You made up that name!

*Peggy Paddyaker Investigative Analyst*
Whilst one might think that, I'm not that creative.
I'll scan the letter and post tomorrow.

Told Ya!

She used to work for an overseas credit card company's customer support: Hello, my name is Peggy

BillBingham2, I emailed you. I'm a hopeless optimist. (If you're following this, Tyler grips, you cashed my check in March, 2011. Send me my adapter and all is forgiven. If you don't. Luigi and Deathmask are packing their bags)

 

[RussellD]

This is a business opportunity for someone...why are there no Chinese made copies on ebay yet?

 

[Reacher (Said Nothing)]

Peggy!

See, I told you. Guess Luigi and Deathmask are always on option!

I didn't want this to get out, BUT

The whole Tyler T problem is all my fault.I just wanted one 3R for my RB 19-3. Before I wanted this one grip they were everywhere. HECK, I even heard that some people just gave them away to friends who didn't have one. NOW, this whole thing can be solved if someone will let me slightly over pay for a chrome 3R for a RB k frame. Trust me, this is how things work. As soon as I get one, thousands will suddenly become available. Probably at half price. So, if someone will step up to the plate and help me out this whole bad episode will go away. Be a HERO, do it for the forum,do it for the children, just do it.....Peoples jobs are at stake...YOU know you want to HELP.......That's a size 3R for a RB k frame, chrome or bronze, HURRY, it's up to YOU.

 

[Reacher (Said Nothing)]

Nonsense, It was ME, I just wanted 2 size 4 for a couple of N-frame Smith's I picked up. Me, me, me FIRST!

This is a business opportunity for someone...

I am meeting with a mold maker tomorrow, and plan to produce cast resin models (to begin with.) They will be black (to begin with), initially sized for current production J frame S&Ws. We'll see what the demand really is. Resin is inexpensive and comes out with a finished surface so I expect to be able to deliver them reliably for less than the Tylers.

 

[Dain Bramage]

Wrangler5, resin should allow for a wide array of colors, cheaply made. Personally, I like anodised blue. If I'm going pimp, might as well go PIMP.

wrangler5,

I commend you sir. Hopefully it turns out well and the demand is there. Furthermore, perhaps at sometime down the road you can produce other models made of the same materials as the Tylers are now.

I have seen mention of hopefully soon they'll turn up from a Chinese outfit. Personally, I think we've lost enough American jobs. I'd rather pay another $15-20 and know my money is staying home than sending it (and a fellow Americans job) overseas.

wrangler5 - Add me to the list of others who like your idea. I'll also buy some at a reasonable price when you know what that is.

 

[luangtom]

I will spring for a J-frame, modern-variety, in flat-black.....

 

[OIF2]

Me too!
