Author Topic: Need help on Contender Grip? (Read 412 times)

Does Pachmayer still make a grip for the Contender?
I'm looking for a used one, but will purchase a new if needed. Any of you know what wholesalers stock this item?
Thanks!

Hello XPHunter,

I'm assuming we're talking older style Contenders here and not the G2.

Go to: http://www.midwayusa.com/ and type "Contender grip" into the "Search for" box. I saw both Presentation and Gripper types available when I did it, although there were only a few of each in stock. $39.98 for either style - pricey. . .but available. Try Midsouth and Natchez also, they may have what you want.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi
They make(made) two different grips a presentation and a gripper with finger grooves. I have an extra of either, if you want a used one.

Javelina & jimann,
Thanks for the info and the quick response.

jimann,
I think I would prefer the presentation if I had a choice. I'm interested.
E-mail me at ernie33@sbcglobal.net for the price of your extra grip.

If it doesn't work out I have the old original one that works on the "pre-
Easy Open frames" and a newer finger groove that works on everything but a G2. Make offer...........

Are some of these used ones that you guys have the standard rubber or the Decelerator version?
Just bought me a Contender (Boy, that will shock some). Hadn't owned one since 1988. Well, what can I say, some of us are just real slow.

Ernie - I'm at work and don't recall as it has been years since I set up my Contender with either one (and I have CRS). I will let you know.

Okay--I will bite, what is CRS?
Contender ______ Syndrome?

Am I close?

Thanks Steve that would be the affliction. Anyway I believe the newer of the two I have is the Decellerator model and I did drill the bottom plate and install a sling stud in it.

xphunter · « **Reply #10 on:** September 17, 2004, 08:41:32 AM »

Is the Decelerator the presentation or the gripper style?
Which of the two has the largest/flatest bottom?

I have a grip coming my way, but NOW I am also looking for a "Rynite Grip" for the Contender.

Steve P · « **Reply #12 on:** September 19, 2004, 10:39:29 AM »

I have an extra rynite grip. Find out what they sell for and you can have it for that less 10% and I will pay the shipping. Send me an email to set it up.
