I apologize, skidder, if you thought I accused you of slamming the owner/operator of Tyler T-Grips. As usual, a shotgun approach to a message board is never a good idea, and I was wrong to use it. I should have been more specific in my disgust for the way some people, who probably never would have purchased Tyler T-Grips in the first place, have attacked J.R.
The beauty of Tyler T-Grips was, and is, that they didn't add bulk, were reasonably inexpensive, and greatly added to the controlability of double-action revolvers. This, at a time when your choices were service or target stocks and well before injection molded plastic and rubber grips, may have influenced my perceptions. The beautiful lines of a classic Smith & Wesson or Colt revolver may be "marred" by the lines of the T-Grip in some people's eyes, but a polished aluminum T-Grip on a nickeled Smith or a shiny black one on a blued Model 10 is a thing of beauty to me.
YMMV
