Isn't there some technique for rubbing some catalyst on the Rogers and then gripping them (hand in a nitrile glove) for a little bit that does a reasonable job of turning them into grips that fit one's hand?Originally Posted by Dagga Boy
I can't recall where I saw that.

They are a little proud at the top.
I might sand it down and finish it with something.

Caseys True Oil is usually a workable finish on grips. Last coat can be gloss or not.
Don’t know about adherence to plastic but I used JB Weld putty on some Hogue wood grips I got as seconds off their website store.
After I got them shaped I painted them with the regular JB Weld thinned with acetone and coated them with silicon carbide grit. Then a couple coats of black duracoat.
This was for competition guns only, you really really don’t want to carry with that grit unless your wardrobe budget is huge. But I suspect the epoxy putty would work just fine on plastic.

Has anyone tried BluMagnum's grips?

Boiled linseed oil works great. I usually apply it with my finger. You can shape the grips as needed then rub on a little linseed oil till it matches. It will soak in till it fills the wood grain, then let it dry overnight and repeat as necessary. The Thai grips look like they have an oil finish.

Heard nothing but good things, but never held them. I find most of the Jordan Style Trooper grips to be too big for me.
On the Rogers...never heard of the catalyst thing. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but in my time with them since the mid 80’s using them, selling them, and spending a lot of time at Safariland, never heard of it. I ll see if GJM can call Bill and find out.

For those prices, I'd take a look at John Culina's grips. I have a half-dozen or so of John's grips in both walnut and micarta and the workmanship is flawless. And his communication via email is fast and thorough--practices many gripmakers have not yet embraced.
This didn't feel like it deserved a new thread, but I'd just like to say how impressed I am with herrett's customer service. I picked up a set of older shooting stars in a box of stuff at an estate sale, and they were missing a ferrule. I called them up to see if I could buy one, and they sent a set of both ferrules and another screw for free, even though they're an old style that's out of production.
Nill-Griffe always gets my vote.
