No, that's news to me.
Their web site reports that an office and plant relocation has taken longer than expected, but that they planned to be up and functioning again by one week ago. Since plans rarely work out as hoped, I wouldn't be surprised if they were still in relocation limbo.
Would anybody in OKC like to try direct contact with them and see what the scoop is?

I hope not. I just ordered a couple.

I have called for the last two weeks to confirm is they are willing to take orders...the same recording stating to call back, no way to leave a message though I did leave several last month asking if they were processing new orders...no response.
I have the check in the envelope ready to go but I'm not sending it without talking to a live person AND hearing some feedback here on orders!

Well, I was just checking the bank, and I see they cashed my check. Doesn't mean anything in relation to the question at hand, but at least somebody was there a day or so ago.

Man, I've found that gun accessory customer service is generally really good. Except for these guys.

Sending money to Tyler at this time is not a good idea.
p.s. Tyler grips are going for big, big $$$ on ebay right now.

They are set up to receive phone calls only between 1 and 6 pm Okla. time.
They are a small family owned operation and sometimes they move slowly. I would not count them out yet.

Hopefully your friend saw the old location and was not aware of the move to a new one.

I think if the OK Attorney General was dealing with this business, their on line site would definitely be shut down.

I have bought almost all of the N & K Frame Tylers that I have run into at gun shows for the past year, because they are usually so hard to find. Over the past few months I have traded 15-20 away for various stocks, parts, etc. I have less than 10 left, so my days of trading them away are probably over.

I don't get it. Somebody passes on a crazy rumor and all of a sudden there's advice to call the OK Attorney General, and more advice not to send Tyler money. I've bought five T-grips from Tyler over the last couple of years. They're friendly, helpful and honest folks. Payment is in advance and your T-grip arrives in about 3 weeks. Right now they're changing locations, not running to Tahiti with some guys thirty buck check. Lighten up!
I've had bad experience with Tyler also, Erich. I had ordered a black T-grip for a Colt Detective Special I wanted to photograph for an article. When it arrived, it looked like it was spray painted, and the paint had run and dried in rivulets. I called them and sent it back; the replacement was almost as bad. I got a lame excuse from them and sent the replacement back also. On the third try I got a good one. No company can survive if it manufactures junk and then tries to sell it. They need a good dose of effective Quality Control at Tyler.

It is not three weeks. Mine is more like ten-weeks. My check cleared the first week of February. No e-mail, no post-card received to say there would be a delay for any reason. 'Tis a poor way to run even a part-time business. With the number of posts complaining of none-receipt, it is far more than just a thirty-buck check......

Man you would think someone with a Cnc machine could start cranking these out. I imagine there are no patents on these.

I gotta say it's darned tempting to look into it. Coming up with a mold wouldn't be that hard and it's not that tough to melt aluminum.
Hmmm...

That was true some years ago. I did a Tyler order about 18 months ago and your time frame was about right. If you read the thread here that is not even close to the time frames since last fall.
I have called every day THEIR Time to attempt contact. Last call was YESTERDAY. No answering machine just a message to call back.
I also sent them a email requesting contact...again no response...
I would NOT send a check until I talk to a live person to confirm they are shipping grips...

I'd love to have a set of plain brushed aluminum for my model 60. Their website does not foster any kind of confidence that you will receive anything. It's just, send in the money,... we'll get to it if we feel like it.
I can do without.
