For those of you who use Tyler T-grips, have you had any issues with the grip scratching the finish of a blued gun? I am seriously considering adding one of these to one of my revolvers, but wanted to check on this first. Thanks in advance.

I can't say that I have, but then again, the gun that I recently put a T-grip on is rather finish-challenged. I might not have noticed.Originally Posted by BillSWPA
If that's a concern, you might want to look at buying a BK grip.

The T-grip is aluminum and with copper stays, not much chance of damaging a blue finish. The ones I have used over the years never caused a blue finish problem. More likely to slightly mar the grip finish on wood grips. As Stephanie B. said, the BK adapter would be less likely to cause any problems being plastic with copper stays. I have been happy with both types.

Mark me down as a fan of the BK grips. I like the double stays, too. Plus, you can krylon them silver if you need to, or if you want to get real fancy, have one of those big shot cerakoters do it in a high tech finish.

Normally the BK Grip guy sends them out by priority mail within a day or two after you place the order on the website.
Tyler's turnaround time is down to a couple weeks, I believe, which is a lot better than it was a few years ago. And unless things have changed, still have to order them by mail and send them a check.

My latest order from Tyler's was on 9/1 and it invoiced on 9/11, I received it on 9/18. I am in S. Florida so Irma may have delayed delivery slightly.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I am now happier to go ahead and order the T-grip.
What he said.
Glad to hear Tyler is back on track. I need an adapter for my 4" M64 as soon as I find a decent set of PC magna stocks. This will be my "last day of work" gun I wear on the job whenever I decide to hang it up.
