Different G2 grips

Is there anyone selling a softer grip than the original wood grip for the G2 Contender?

Ya ???

I would like to know why packmayr has not made a grip for the G2 frame when they have one for the old contender frame and the encore frame.

apparently they don't see a market need.  If they though they could make money they would.

I have a stainless G2 with a factory rubber grip and so far it has worked OK with the barrels I have used it with, but none of them are big kickers.

 ;D

Pachmayr now makes a rubber grip for the G2 Contender pistol.  It is not on their website, but it is listed in the 2008 Lyman Catalog.

Looks a lot like the Encore Pachmayr.  They also catalog a forend for the G2 as well.

I just picked up a 2008 Lyman catalog yesterday and noticed the new for 2008 products.

Regards,
