Hooly Mooly...mailman came today only a week after I'd called Jim Badger about making some compact boot grips without the finger grooves for my new Cobra.
They showed up today! Can't beat that kind of service.
The Cobra's still at the gunsmith for trigger work, so I mounted them on the Agent just to get a feel for them. They're PERFECT!! Silver/Black, fit my hand and are more concealable than his thicker grips with the finger grooves.

Looks good! How much did they cost, if you dont mind me asking. Also, how about a link! Also also, how are in the your hand? Do you pocket carry? If so, how are they in pocket? Furthermore, how about a "in hand" picture?
I can't believe I just busted out furthermore.

I braced myself when he'd said he build them, but he said they'd only cost his usual $69.95. I said, "DO IT"!
Middle two fingers fit the grip just like the short factory grips, pinkie below, but the thickness and contour are just a natural feel.
Here are his finger-grooved grips:

I'll try to get some pics actually holding the gun.

Those grips look great doc!
Another thumbs up for Jim Badger. He has done special requests for me in the past and the work has always been first-rate.

Mine is 2 shots, 5 yds, 2 seconds as a bare minimum baseline.
This is gun in holster, hands at sides, using a shot timer (no stopwatches or second hands)
