Need a new grip (T Grip broke)

[msrtex]

So my T Grip broke while shooting today and I need to replace it. Problem is I do not want another if it is going to break as well. Anyone else have one break? Suggestions on a wood boot type grip that comes close to the grip angle and shape? It was on a model 66 no dash.

I don't believe that Tyler is in business anymore so even getting another one would be on the used market only.

Nevermind: It appears they are back up and running again.

No, they are very much in business again.

I'd call them and see what they can do about repairing it.
Who knows, they might even replace it?
Can't hurt to ask.

They are in business. You might find someone to solder the clip back on for you.

Or you could try forum member wrangler5's "BK" version

I have one on my model 10 and it's worked great.

You can't solder Copper Beryllium to Aluminum.

If I had it, I would fix it with countersunk aluminum rivets or screws.

I'd also fix it with a screw. Then, I'd put a dab of Goop brand adhesive over top the repair.

Shows how much I know.

I've been using T-Grips since the early 70's and that's the first broken one I've seen.

JB Weld or drill and tap for a screw AND order a new one. You can never have too many T-Grips.

Someone just barely beat me with the JB Weld suggestion. Dangit!

The OP has good taste though. I have one exactly like that.

I've currently got T grips on all my Ks. I'd probably just order a replacement, plus another spare. That said, I really used to like the old uncle mike's RB boot grips, I guess these are history now, though. Maybe eagle's secret service grips, if you have the coin?

I've never once heard of or seen a T-Grip break like that.

Lucky you I guess.
