How are they to do business with now? Returned to normal business? Quality of product? Waiting time?

Going by the asking price of the current sellers, the adapters are being made from gold.

Sometimes they come quickly and sometimes they take forever. I think it depends on which variations they are producing at the specific time your order is placed. I also believe that the more popular ones get sent out quicker than the obscure ones do.
I just traded an N frame one for a #2 (for a Baby Chief's) because I figured if I ordered that one it would take forever for that model. Probably a very rarely ordered one these days.

I just sent off my order yesterday for k-frame size, brushed finish. I'll report back when they arrive.
Tyler received my order for two t-grips- J frame & K sq. butt- on 7/15/13. I received the grips 9/16/13, about 6 weeks. Don't expect order confirmations, ship notification or any type communication at all. We've all gotten used to these from other sellers but that's not Tyler's M.O. However, they are still in business and shipping a fine product in a reasonable time period.

Do they still only take checks?
I sent a PMO and they shipped the grips, so no problem.

Checks and money orders only, yes.

Just thought I'd report. My k frame brushed T grip hasn't arrived yet. It's been a month today since I mailed my order form.

Just as an FYI, I was at the Nation's Gun Show (Dulles, VA) today and John Masen was there with a little basket of about a dozen NOS Tyler T-grips in the old style boxes. They were all #3R marked, but if anybody needs T-grips for a round butt K (if I read my sources correctly) He's got them in stock for reasonable.

Hi all,
I got my T-grip on 8/8/13. It was sent by first class mail on August 6th. The invoice date was 5/22/13 (less than a week after I sent my order in by mail).
That's eleven weeks or so. Given that my order went out shortly before the proprietor got hit by a tornado, that's not too bad. My invoice total was $30.75.
I bought it to go with some factory replacement grips (these) for my Model 67-1.
Ironically, I ended up disappointed. Years ago, I got a T-grip for an older Detective Special I owned and thought it was the bee's knees. I had high hopes for them on a Smith. But, the factory grips and T-grip combo on my Model 67 shifted around way too much in double action fire. I lost of lot of points during a PPC match with those grips versus the same gun with Pachmayr professional grippers.
The factory grips with T-grip look great! They just don't shoot well for me.

Another status report: 2 months now and I haven't yet received my T grip. I know they got my order because my check cleared a week later.
I'm just waiting patiently.

Its nice how they can cash all the checks right away and go around spending all the money but can't send the product in a reasonable time frame.This is a sure fire way to run a business straight into the ground.

This is why I haven't ordered mine yet. I just keep hearing stories like this about their turn around time. Disappointing. I REALLY want one for my Detective Special knock off.

I'm about a week after you in the queue. I knew going in I was in for a long long wait but that someday I'd most likely get it. I decided to gamble and spun the roulette wheel to see what happens.
Course, I do live in Vegas.
WHY, put up with long delays for Tylers when Forum Member "BK" is a better adapter and quick shipping
