I stopped using "Tylers" and started using "BKs" and I am a happy camper!
Tyler T-Grips Update?

My guess is they cashed and used your check for their next bag of groceries. When enough customers get unhappy, checks dry up , they run low on groceries, service improves, and production and deliveries ramp up, is my guess. From observing over the years, they seem very cyclical in terms of performance.
Financial wizards able to make bucks off unfulfilled but paid up orders? Well, I doubt that very much.
Still, I have yet to see a post where a customer says he never got his product. (And if you've only been waitin' a year or so, give it another 18 months...)
Oh, I did eventually get the one I ordered. I had forgotten I ordered it, (literally) but I did get it.
That was over a dozen years ago, and I haven't done business with them since. I have however purchased I don't know how many BK's in that time.

Have never ordered directly from Tyler due to all I've heard.
Great experience with buying from BK.
From what I gather, when dealing with Tyler you should re-set your watch to about 1974.

I can remember(years ago) walking into Tyler's and buying a set of grips off of the shelf for my Dad's old Police Positive. He stocked a lot of grips.
It's my understanding that the original owner/operator of Tyler's died some years ago, and some nephews and nieces are trying to continuing to operate the business. Evidently they are not in it full time and only produce when they have time. If they would only "communicate" with their customers with order status they might be able to have a viable business.
I remember 30 years ago Melvin Tyler's little shop was on Britton Road here in Oklahoma City and even then it looked like it was about to fall down. He had a pretty good reputation and his Tyler grip adapters were on wheel guns all over the world but when kids take over a business there can definitely be mixed results.
Update: The Tyler T my good friend ordered for me as a bday present finally arrived, 13 months after the order was placed. Not one peep from Tyler, it just arrived unceremoniously. It now lives happily on my 2" 15-2, the gun it was originally intended for. Perhaps it took longer because it was done in the less common brushed bronze instead of black or aluminum.

The folks at Tyler T are like the
elusive Sasquatches.
We all know they exist but bona
fide sightings are rare.

Mental telepathy seems to be about as effective as any of the more conventional means of communication.
They are notorious for long wait times, and operation under "radio silence", but they will come, eventually.
I am thinking of ordering a set for my low back Security Six. I am in no rush, and when they get here, they get here.

I'd rather pay up for a Tyler on the secondary market than order new from them

What he ought to do is take no more orders until the back log is cleared, and then, as he has product available for sale, put 'em on ebay and let us fight over them. No more people pissed over the wait. He would also most assuredly get more $ for them.
