Replacement Grip Caps
« on: October 28, 2003, 04:36:45 AM »
Does anybody make replacement grip caps made of material other than plastic?  I have the Competitor grip on my Contender and the plastic grip cap is cracked.

Great question Camel...cracked mine into several small plastic shards, and it has yet to be replaced...I've been thinking of making one out of a piece of thin steel and adding a swivel to the middle of it, but have yet to have the time to put my plan into motion.
How'd you like a peek at my 14-incher? (Contender, that is)

Some of the earlier caps were aluminum with a cat on them.  Check E-bay or Auction Arms.  They come up once in a while.
