Tyler T-Grips current status

Personally I am looking for grips for a Colt Detective Special clone. BK doesn't make those and when I asked said he did not intend to.

If I was looking for some for a Smith I would have long ago happily ordered some from him.



Random, but just this evening I discovered Numrich has some of the old Pachmayr grip adaptors for Colts. Not sure about other brands of revolvers but for $13 delivered I snatched one up quick.
 
BK's line is still somewhat limited. He does not carry certain configurations and still does not make them in a chrome finish. If someone wants what they want, Tyler is still the place to get it.
 
Okay, I said I'd update this thread when I received my order. Today was the day. So, from the very beginning of November to almost the end of February to receive a No. 2 polished aluminum T-Grip.

Thoughts? Well, it's a long time to wait, especially with no communication from the seller. On the other hand, they are honest in filling their orders and I wasn't in any particular hurry. And I knew I was probably in for a long wait when I placed the order so no surprise there. But most important, the grip looks great and fits perfectly. So yeah, I'd do it again. Probably will. ;)
 
ya i just got my shiny black n frame t last week. i ordered on dec 30th and they cashed the check 1/7.
 
I ordered 2 N black matte grips in January and received in 5 weeks. They cashed the check 10 days before receipt. Seems like they were able to catch up with orders here in the last month or so. I'm happy!
 
Ordered a brushed stainless for J frame RB and a brushed stainless for K frame RB
check put in mailox at post office Oct 24th
Check showed cashed on Nov 1, same day the receipt says invoiced
called 4 times, not response (could only leave messages 2 times)
sent email on Tuesday afternoon, the 18th, then
rec'd my order today, February 24th 2014

I kind of feel like almost 4 months is a bit long, 5 weeks would've been nice. and I payed a bit over $8 for shipping, and I see they paid $2.28 for the shipping with the .25 cent envelope :o)
 
I also received mine today - two brushed aluminum J frame & 1 flat black K frame square butt. Mine took about five weeks. They look good.

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.

PlaytheAces, I saw your post while I was at work and wondered if mine had arrived today, and sure enough it had. Like yours, mine is brushed finish. Maybe they do all the orders for a given finish together, who knows?

I had mailed my order on 11/20.
 
Apparently they wait until they have a batch made up of a certain size. Ordered 2 (brushed and shiny) 3-R k-round butt ones first of Dec and arrived yesterday.
 
I just received 2 #8's for my Ruger Six series guns. Invoice date 12-20-13. Received 2-24-14.

I just looked up when I sent the check - Nov. 7th. They cashed it a week later. I figured it'd take a while since a No. 2 in polished aluminum probably isn't a high demand item, and unless he just happened to have one in inventory, it would have to be made up. I'm guessing the more popular sizes and colors are more often in stock and ship faster. And I think these grips are pretty much hand made. They aren't falling off a high speed assembly line.

I'm happy with the quality and workmanship, so to me the time element is pretty much a moot point. As I've gotten older, I've lost some of the impatience of my youth. ;)
 
Got my brushed aluminum #8 tgrips today for my Ruger stainless shorty speed six. Looks good but don't think grips are as nice as the old ones. They look ok though and I am satisfied. Time for delivery was about 2 1/2 months.
 
And here they are! One polished N frame grip and two brushed J frames.

Having just come from the mailbox, let me jump in

On Feb.22nd, I ordered a Tyler T for my Model 15-1. The check was cashed on Feb. 26th; mailed Feb. 27th and arrived today.

A year ago I order two items from them and it took 4 months with no communication from them.

I think it depends on what they are producing and what their inventory is of the item you order. They are "legit", but it depends how your order hits their cycle. Glad to seem them back in business and fulfilling orders now.
