Just looked at their web site - they seem to be back in operation.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

I was warned in another thread not to do business with them. I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.
 
BTW, the new owner sounds sincere on the website...but he needs to put his money where his mouth is and offer a decent discount to the first 100 buyers...
 
:) I am glad to see this company under new ownership. I will say that those that paid the high prices for these grips in the past few months might have some regrets. If it looks like the new owner is on the up and up I will be ordering some more Tyler grips. Don
 
Does that mean that those of us that got screwed will get our money back?

I think I should bow out of this thread until I can get together an ad in the classifieds.

I will send you a PM though.
 
Well, since one of our members stepped in to fill the void while t-grip was down, and is now offering his own grip fillers, I would buy one of those before going back to t-grip.
 
Tyler t-grips

I just ordered from Tyler earlier today after looking at thier new website saying there is a new owner so hopefully they come and I don't get ripped off. I had to print the order page and mail with check. I ordered super chrome aluminum and shiny black I can't make up my mind till I try them both out if they come.. I just picked up a m 66 3" k frame round butt and have been looking everywhere for them and read kinda bad reviews about customers ordering and not getting from Tyler but now it's a different site and owner it says so I'll be the guinea pig and let everyone know if and hopefully they show up. I don't like the rubber grips that are on it now and I just ordered real stag grips that are going to be sweet... but even sweeter with the t-grips.. but man is it hard to find t-grips for k frame round .. I'll post before pics and after soon and keep an update as to my order from Tyler . cheers everyone wish my order luck
 
Well, if he really was changing the business practice and wanted to instill confidence in the company he wouldn't be requiring prepayment.
 
You know, I suppose that a T-grip would be just the thing to put on my old M&P when I snuggle it up in that Lawman Leather Holster.... Ponders...

If they are legitimate eventually some gunshop or another will have them in stock. I'll let them take the risk.

Absolutely. Because, as we all know, no legitimate business makes you pay first.

When I order my S&W letters, Mr. Jinks just sends me the letter along with an invoice, and I then mail him a check.

Midway and Graf and Sons always send me my reloading stuff, and then after it gets here and I verify the order is correct, I cut them a check.

I've never had to pay in advance for anything.

:p
 
t-grips agian

I agree with all of you and normally I don't buy in sketchy situations but I have been looking for them for k frame round everywhere and one of my friends a few years back got sum from Tyler the same way (doesn't mean I will) and I did call a shop that told me the same that they have new ownership and they are suppose to get in stock in few months. unless he just heard gossip.. like I said still doesn't mean I'll get but I fig while I'm still on the ebay hunt and such at least there's hope they come .. I'll post back with any news or contact with them 4 sure.
 
although sending my money to a po box doesn't seem legit but maybe he just doesn't want peep showing up at the new location and it's in his garage or sumthin?? I always try to look at the positive side of things till sum1 burns me then they look down the side of my 357
 
At this point I prefer the BK grip adapters more. They have the copper tab molded into the body so it is going to be pretty hard to break unless I shear it off. They are better for sanding down to fit on a gun and get a precise fit. And the best part is when I order one, I actually get it.

Sure, next time you get ready to get a new truck, why don't you go ahead and prepay for it, then let Ford or Chevrolet build it.

Anyone that follows custom knifemakers knows all about the Alan Blade/Steve Corkum fiascoes. Lots of people won't prepay for custom knives anymore.

Not saying you don't pay before someone ships an item, I'm saying you don't pay then have someone do the work.

Next time you need some work done on the house, why don't you pay the contractor up front.

Or since you brought up reloading supplies, do you pay up front, then Lee makes the dies, sends them to Midway who then ships to you?

What he said...:)
 
I am waiting to hear from all those who blasted Tyler for cashing their checks and not sending the grips. Hopefully they will announce when they do receive the grips. I wonder if he will start with the oldest back-order first?
 
Well if I ever get the T-Grip I ordered back in the middle of April I'll be sure to post a message. But I wrote off the money a couple of months ago.

There are 80,144 members of this forum.

Their web site says they shipped 1000 grips on July 27 and people would begin receiving them by August 4.

No one here has stated that they received one.

It's all vapor ware.

I would check Glocktalk. Maybe they are shipping auto adapters first, then revolvers.
