Tyler T Grip company shutdown - shipping again

Just recieved my December 18 order of 5 adaptors after an advertised 8 week wait. This is the second order that I have made since they restarted shipping and I am quite satisfied with service and quality. Each of my orders were followed with a confirmation phone call and then immediate shipping. Slim
 
I got my order last Friday. It took a little over 2 months, so I'm happy about that, and I suspected it would take a bit. Hindsight, I don't like their lack of communication, lack of contact information nor their only means for payment, but you take the good with the bad here. I would think hard about ordering again, I would likely try the BK adapter being sold by a forum member on the boards here first.
 
I ordered a BK Grip adapter and it was in my hands in about a week.
Fits nice and snug.
 
I recieved the two I ordered last week. They had cashed my check on 12/14, so about a 6 week turn around.
 
Got mine today. Took less than two weeks. Brushed brass. Perhaps different ones take longer.

Me too, 'cept mine was here in 4 days. I haven't had good service (or fit) from Tyler since Melvin died (and I live in OKC)

Instead of waiting on tyler style

I found I didn't like the T-grip as it pushes your grip ever so slightly down making muzzle flip, at least for me, noticable. I have shot a lot through this J, so I notice anything different when it happens. As I have larger hands, I did want a larger grip for the ring finger. This is what I came up with and an hour of fitting with a piece of padauk I had in the garage. This setup keeps my grip up, and gives my ring finger a good hold for the flip, it also gives an ever so slight base for pinky.

I ordered one in January...the check cleared in late January...I got my polished T-grip yesterday...and it looks fantastic!

it's a 3R for a snubby 66-3...once I finish my Flitz work I'll post pics...

for me the original Tyler T's are the way to go w/ classic P&R Smith's or any nickel or stainless S&W you want to improve upon w/o oversized grips....

I was skeptical when I placed my order... I bought from them several times years before the turmoil & have gotten a half dozen or so here on the forum, so I wondered if the new product would measure up & frankly wondered if it would come at all, but I am totally satisfied now...

see no reason why not to go w/ a T-grip if that's what you want... the wait now isn't that long & I think they are stable again from a business standpoint - all appearances point to that anyway...

my 2 cents, gents
 
What a bunch of goofballs - they can cash your check within two days of you putting it in the mailbox, but they can't ship their (supposedly) in-stock items in a month - if at all.

I'll update this thread if it ever shows up. What a mistake...

I ordered mine back in February and put a MO in the mail on a Saturday. My j-frame T-Grip was in my mailbox the following Thursday. 5 business days to get my part to me... Not bad.
 
I will be glad if they ever get all their ducks in a row. T-grips are a nice accessory if they would not make it a gamble to send off your money.
 
When?

Sent a money order for 4 t-grips on April 9, 2012, It's June 1st and not a word. I would feel a lot better if I could e-mail them for an answer!
 
Sent my check
Got my grip in 3 weeks just as promised
Would recommend and order again!
