You might send a PM to southern utah here on GBO.
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

I just got off the phone with Midsouth and I shouild have it witin 3 days. I asked was it for the Contender with packy grips and she couldnt tell me if it was or not . For anyone els looking for this set up it has been pretty much discontinued. Im hoping that Midsouth's will do the job.

I had my local machinist make me one. We took a 3/8" piece of rod and he drilled a hole through the center lengthwise and tapped it to accept a #10 Machine Screw Sling Swivel Stud. He then drilled out the hole in the other end larger to accept a 1/4 x 20 TPI stud. I then cut the piece to the proper length for my particular grip. I then JB Welded a 1/4 x 20 TPI stud (the right length) in the one end of the adaptor and a #10 Machine Screw Sling Swivel Stud in the other end. I did this on my new G2 Contender with the factory Rubber Grips on it. Once I had the adaptor made and installed it was then a matter if measuring out the proper dimensions and drill a hole in my grip cap so it slipped on to the bottom of the grip with the sling swivel stud protruding from the bottom.

     The kit was not intended just for the Pachy's and in fact was designed for the regular TC grip.  A little modification is necessary for a good fit with the Pachy's.  I think I bought the last two kits that Fox Ridge had a few years back :'(.  They are getting harder and harder to find.
     I will also ad another reccomend for Southern Utah's sling.  It's the ONLY thing I've used to carry my Contender handguns for over 10 years now and is a good shooting aid as well. :)
